What is the Kramer SWT3-31-HU switcher?
The Kramer SWT3-31-HU is a 3x1 4K60 auto-switcher with one USB-C input and two HDMI/USB inputs feeding an HDMI output. It also switches connected USB peripherals, such as a room camera and microphone, to whichever host is active, making it a compact BYOD hybrid meeting switcher for huddle spaces and small meeting rooms.
How does the Kramer SWT3-31-HU work?
Users connect a laptop by USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode with USB Power Delivery 3.0 charging up to 60W) or by HDMI with a USB host cable. The SWT3-31-HU auto-switches to the active source and routes its USB 3.2 hub, with four device ports for the room camera, microphone and speakerphone, to the same host. The presenter gets the display and the room's conferencing peripherals with one connection, which is the core of a simple hybrid room.
Video switches at 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 with 18Gbps bandwidth and HDCP 2.3, with Kramer I-EDIDPro EDID handling and HDMI mirroring. Output audio is de-embedded to a balanced stereo line output. Display on/off control, a built-in intelligent control gateway with RS-232, IR and GPIO, and a secured Ethernet connection support automation and remote management. The fan-less aluminum enclosure ships with a 20V DC power adapter.
For larger rooms that need extension to a distant display, the Kramer EXT3-21-XR-TR HDBaseT 3.0 switcher extender is a related option. Connect sources with Kramer C-MHM/MHM HDMI cables.
