Key Digital, a manufacturer of AV connectivity and control solutions, has announced the third generation update of its KD-WP8 eight-button web-UI-programmable IP control wall plate keypad, according to a press release.

Update features include increased onboard memory along with support for Telnet and variable programming.

"The KD-WP8-3 now supports Telnet, used by many brands as a sophisticated and secure method for IP control of DSP processors and other products," Jonathon Ferry, VP of product education and experience at Key Digital, said in the release. "With Telnet, the KD-WP8-3 can be programmed – without writing code or additional hardware – to make a connection with a device to be controlled then send a username and password to gain access to send control commands. Key Digital is firmly committed to 'playing well with others' – providing interactive control across brand boundaries. Telnet support extends that commitment to a wider range of products."
