Rose CrystalView CRK-2DTXPD2D/AUD (Dual-Head DisplayPort Fiber KVM Extender with Audio / $4299.00) Review
Rose CrystalView CRK-2DTXPD2D/AUD dual-head DisplayPort fiber KVM extender audio 10km
Adds stereo audio extension to the CRK-2DTXPD2D's 10km fiber-distance dual-head DisplayPort performance, for broadcast and monitoring facilities where the remote console also needs sound.
Long-Distance DisplayPort With Sound
Broadcast and media monitoring facilities often need audio alongside video at the remote console; the CRK-2DTXPD2D/AUD adds that capability to Rose's flagship long-haul DisplayPort extender without sacrificing the 10km fiber reach or 4K60 performance.
Comparison to Alternatives
It costs $400 more than the base CRK-2DTXPD2D for audio support — worth it only if the remote console plays sound. Its HDMI sibling, the CRK-2DTXUD2D/AUD later in this batch, offers the identical audio-equipped long-haul capability on HDMI infrastructure.
