Key Digital and Control4

Taking Control of Your Home Automation System

Key Digital and Control4 have created a partnership to allow for 
complete automation of Key Digital video processors, switchers 
and distribution amplifiers.  This combination is so advanced that 
it allows the connection of products to be virtually “Plug & Play”.  

By sending signals to the RS-232 port built into almost all Key 
Digital products, Control4 systems allow high quality video 
processing, switching and distribution of video and audio signals 
in virtually any residential system.  These systems can include a 
single display home theater system or one that requires matrix 
switching from numerous sources to numerous video displays. 
The communication is so advanced that even complete HDMI 
connectivity is allowed with Key Digital’s HDMI Path circuitry and 
Control4’s automation.  Control4 systems can operate either via 
wired or wireless communication technology.

The partnership between Key Digital and Control4 gives users 
the best in audio and video processing, switching and distribution 
while maintaining home automation control and ease of use for 
which Control4 is known.

Home automation made simple and fast, with picture perfect 
video performance.   A partnership made in video heaven  —  
Key Digital and Control4.
