ATEN 4K Quad-Display KVM over IP Multi-View Receiver

Intelligent Control. Complete Visibility. Leaner Teams.
The KE8980MR is a high-performance KVM over IP Multi-View Receiver designed to revolutionize how you monitor and control physical and virtual servers across up to four displays at a single workstation. Seamlessly integrated into the KVM over IP Matrix System, it empowers operators to effortlessly manage up to 16 servers in stunning True 4K clarity using flexible multiview layouts, while simultaneously monitoring up to 108 servers to maximize productivity in high-stakes environments.

Engineered for operational excellence, the KE8980MR features ATEN’s exclusive Boundless Switching MX™, allowing -time switching between systems simply by moving the mouse freely across displays and windows, ensuring an immediate response to mission-critical events when every second counts. Additionally, with video wall integration, the KE8980MR fosters timely team collaboration and sharp situational awareness.

Purpose-built for leaner operations, the KE8980MR minimizes hardware complexity and maximizes team efficiency. Whether in broadcast, air traffic control, surveillance, or mission-critical transportation hubs, it’s an indispensable solution that potes agile teamwork, without expanding headcount.
4K60 Visual Brilliance across Quad Displays
Experience ultra-crisp 4K@60 DCI visual performance across four displays (2× HDMI and 2× DisplayPort) with the KE8980MR – engineered for precision-critical monitoring and built to empower control room operations with informed, immediate decision-making.

Multiview Control with Boundless Switching MX™
Server management is straightforward, allowing up to 16 servers to be managed in separate, resizable windows that can be freely positioned or overlapped across four displays. KE8980MR is further powered by ATEN’s exclusive Boundless Switching MX™. By simply moving the mouse cursor across displays or windows, operator control instantly shifts to the corresponding system – enabling intuitive, seamless switching without the need for any other manual input.

Centralized Monitoring via Panel Array™
During active monitoring, the quad-display setup can be switched to operation e – featuring Panel Array™, which highlights a specific server video on one screen for dedicated attention while displaying others in a multiview layout of up to a 6×6 array (i.e. 108 servers) – enabling centralized server management and a streamlined monitoring experience.

Virtualization via VNC or RDP
In addition to physical server systems, the KE8980MR enables access to and control of virtualized environments on VMware®, Microsoft®, and Citrix™ platforms via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and VNC (Virtual Network Computing). Tasks such as mounting images, booting and upgrading devices, and running diagnostics can all be performed remotely – just as if they were being executed locally.

Effortless Switching between Physical and Virtual Machines
Built for ultimate flexibility, the KE8980MR excels in dynamic IT infrastructures with transmitter-receiver connections in a matrix configuration, enabling highly adaptable deployments. As part of the scalable KVM over IP Matrix System, it empowers operators with -time monitoring and seamless switching between physical servers connected via KE series KVM over IP transmitters and virtual machines – all effortlessly managed through ATEN’s intuitive CCKM system.

Share and Shift with Workspace Presets
The quad-display multiview setup can be customized and saved as a workspace preset, allowing seamless transitions between users in a shared workstation environment. Ideal for shift-based workflows, this feature empowers leaner teams to maintain peak productivity without compising operational efficiency.

KVM Operation Recording via CCVSR
By integrating CCVSR (Control Center Video Session Recording) into the KVM over IP Matrix System, every operator session – including video output, keyboard input, and mouse activity – can be recorded in time. This enhances security automation in control room and server room environments, supporting effective auditing, traceability, and proactive risk mitigation.

Applications
Designed for control room applications in mind, the KE8980MR is particularly well-suited for fast-paced control rooms in broadcast, surveillance, air traffic control, transportation hubs, and beyond.
