Verdict
Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A strong HDMI-based enterprise IP KVM transmitter for buyers already invested in the ADDERLink Infinity ecosystem.
SmartAVI FDX-TX2000S

A discontinued transmitter worth buying only to keep an existing SmartAVI FDX-2000S pair alive — not a starting point for a new extension.
