The UCS 504 kit supports switching up to six USB room devices, with one that supports rates up to USB 10Gbps, and five that support rates up to High Speed (USB 2) while providing power.
The kit also uses a single CATx cable to extend the video and High Speed (USB 2) signals up to 100 metres between the transmitter and receiver.
The UC 504 enables integration of AV sources and USB cameras for Teams and Zoom meetings in conference and collaboration spaces, no matter where the AV equipment is located.
The kit comprises of a transmitter that supports USB-C and dual HDMI with USB inputs for BYOM laptops and a scaling receiver that provides additional HDMI with USB inputs for a dedicated UC computer and an HDMI output to the room display.
Six USB device connections support cameras or mics up to USB 10Gbps and HDMI outputs, enabling resolutions up to 4K/60.
The system supports auto switching and automation capabilities including CEC, RS-232, or IR control to a display. The half rack width transmitter can also be mounted under a table, while the 2.5cm high receiver mounts behind a display.
