Every year the GITEX exhibition in Dubai gathers the ideas and tools that shape how people connect in the future. This year, it will be running from 13 to 17 October at the Dubai World Trade Centre , spanning 40+ halls , hosting 6,000+ exhibitors , and welcoming 170,000+ visitors from 170 countries across sectors such as AI, 5G, Fintech, and Smart Cities. Dubai’s infrastructure and innovation ecosystem make it a natural gateway for technology across the region. 

We are proud to showcase Key Digital at the Dutco Tennant stand H4A-B15, bringing practical AV to real rooms and real teams. The global professional AV market is now valued at about $425 billion and continues to grow at ~12% CAGR , powered by unified communications and immersive collaboration. Key Digital’s focus is simple to trust in busy spaces: HDMI signal extenders , long distance HDMI fiber cables , and AV system controllers that keep content moving and meetings on time without unnecessary complexity.

Let’s give you an idea of the products that you’ll be seeing at the event. 

HDMI over CAT6 Extenders: Distance Without Distortion

Anyone who has tried to run HDMI across a large space knows the frustration of flickering screens or signals that drop at the wrong time. Key Digital’s HDMI over Ethernet extenders resolve this by sending 4K signals across CAT6 cables with clarity intact.

Take the KD-X444LP as an example. It can carry 4K video over 70 metres on CAT6A, while providing control options through IR and RS-232. For classrooms or conference rooms that rely on reliable content sharing, these extenders mean fewer technical interruptions and more focus on what is being presented.

  • Support for HDR and Dolby/DTS surround audio
  • Single power supply via Power Over CAT for easy setup
  • Pass-through ports so local monitors can stay connected

When large venues or campuses need to extend HDMI signal over long distance , these extenders keep quality consistent without the clutter of multiple boosters.

Active Optical HDMI Fiber Cables: The Long Runs Made Easy

Modern venues are demanding. A stadium screen, a museum projection wall, or a theatre setup cannot risk image dropouts. Copper HDMI cables simply cannot keep up over such distances. Key Digital’s active optical HDMI fiber cables bridge that gap.

  • 8K HDMI fiber cable up to 100 metres
  • 4K HDMI fiber optic cable options with plenum-rated jackets
  • Lightweight design that resists interference and reduces installation strain

An installation team fitting out a gallery, for example, can use a plenum-rated HDMI fiber cable to run safely through ceilings while guaranteeing a flawless 8K feed. These cables bring the confidence that once installed, the system will perform reliably for years.

KD-MC1000: A Smarter Way to Control

Great AV is not just about picture and sound, but also about ease of use. Walking into a meeting room should not require a technician. With the KD-MC1000 master controller , Key Digital gives users a way to manage displays, switch inputs, and control multiple AV devices from a single panel.

  • Integrates IR, RS-232, and TCP/IP commands into one system
  • Works with Key Digital extenders, switchers, and more
  • Scales from small meeting spaces to enterprise-level systems

For a boardroom, it might mean adjusting audio levels and changing sources with one touch. For an auditorium, it could mean centralised control of projection, lighting, and sound. In either case, the AV system controller brings simplicity to spaces where time and clarity matter most.

5 Everyday AV Wins With Key Digital

Sometimes the best way to see the value of professional AV solutions is to look at the small but important wins they create every day. Key Digital’s HDMI extenders, fiber HDMI cables, and AV controllers are not about flashy features. They are about making sure technology supports people instead of holding them back.

1. Meetings That Start on Time

No more juggling remotes or waiting for screens to recognise inputs. With the KD-MC1000 AV controller , one tap is all it takes to get a meeting underway. That means less wasted time and more focus on the agenda.

2. Confidence in Big Spaces

In auditoriums or museums, the last thing anyone wants is a flickering image. HDMI over CAT6 extenders carry crisp 4K signals across long distances, so large audiences see every detail without interruption.

3. Flexible Layouts Without Stress

Training centres and galleries often rearrange rooms for new events. Active Optical HDMI fiber cables are light, flexible, and powerful enough for 8K content, making constant changes easy without signal loss.

4. Fewer Technical Call-Outs

AV should not need a technician standing by. With stable connections and easy controls, staff can run sessions independently. IT teams spend less time fixing cables and more time supporting real projects.

5. Technology That Doesn’t Interrupt

The best AV is the kind people forget about because it simply works. Key Digital ensures presentations, lessons, and meetings run smoothly, so attention stays on the content and the people delivering it.

Beyond Specs, It’s About Trust

Choosing professional AV solutions is not only about bandwidth, resolution, or control protocols. It is about trusting that the room will work the way people expect, every time. That is the quiet promise behind Key Digital : 

  • Signals stay strong, 
  • Rooms are easy to manage, and 
  • Technology never becomes a distraction.

At the GITEX exhibition 2025 in Dubai, you can see these solutions in real-world setups. From extenders carrying 4K visuals across a hall, to AV controllers making a busy conference room feel simple, to fiber HDMI cables keeping training centres flexible, each product shows what reliable AV looks like in practice.

Join us at the Dutco Tennant stand, H4A-B15, Dubai World Trade Centre, 13–17 October , where live demonstrations will let you experience the difference first-hand. Instead of reading about features, you can see how Key Digital makes AV work seamlessly for the people who rely on it every day.
