Adder ALIF1104T Review
The Adder ALIF1104T is an HDMI KVM-over-IP transmitter that carries video up to 2560x1600 @ 60Hz, USB 2.0 and audio over Gigabit Ethernet, with single-mode fiber extension listed up to 20000 m.
This is the computer-side half of an Adder KVM-over-IP link. It connects one HDMI computer driving one display and puts that video, USB and audio onto a network that can be routed as a matrix. The 2560x1600 @ 60Hz ceiling and the 20000 m reach are the specs that decide whether it fits a site. USB runs at USB 2.0 speed, and the unit needs external power. It is a transmitter only, so a receiver is needed at the desk end.
HDMI Over Standard Gigabit Ethernet
The ALIF1104T encodes HDMI video, USB 2.0 peripherals and audio for transport over a standard 1GbE network switch, letting it scale into large multi-room KVM matrices managed through Adder's ADDERLink Infinity Manager software rather than dedicated point-to-point cabling.
Positioned Above the X-Series
Compared to Adder's own XDIP-US single node in this catalog, the ALIF1104T line is built for larger enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments with centralized management, at a correspondingly higher price.
Comparison to Alternatives
The Emerald EMD2002SE-T covers similar KVM-over-IP territory but with DVI-D rather than HDMI. ATEN's KX9970T (also in this catalog) jumps to 5K DisplayPort for much higher-resolution workstations, at nearly double the price.
