Key Digital, a developer and manufacturer of digital video processing and video signal distribution solutions, has updated its KD-WP8 keypad, according to a press release. The newly updated KD-WP8-2 is an eight-button web-UI-programmable IP control wall plate keypad that fits into a single-gang wall box and is PoE-powered.

The keypad can control any IP-networked Key Digital device. Control extends to third-party systems through the Compass Control Pro protocol, open API support or the WP8-2's integrated IR output and RS-232 port.

The KD-WP8-2 natively sends TCP and UDP commands in ASCII or HEX format for controlling IP-enabled devices without the need for any additional hardware. Its now-native IR and RS-232 capability can be extended to control devices or additional IR and RS-232 devices can be controlled through integration with one or more of Key Digital's master controllers, adding additional IR, RS-232 and voltage relay control functionality.

The KD-WP8-2 is programmed by a web GUI walkthrough of network settings, button configuration and event selection, with project import and export, allowing it to set up multiple control points or duplicate a system. By way of virtual event keypad access, programmed events are also accessible via web UI, free Windows PC KDMS Pro and iOS KD-App software.

Button command stacking allows up to 10 commands on button press and release/repeat for up to 20 events per button and 160 events total and a two-button press combo may be set to lock and unlock the keypad. Buttons can be programmed for various latching or momentary action modes and red or blue LED backlighting. Button cap icon sheets are provided, along with a template for custom printing.
