As a Google Meet certified USB-C switcher with an onboard Dante USB Audio Bridge, it lets integrators route two hosts, three HDMI displays, and networked audio without an external DSP or Dante dongle. Passive, noiseless cooling and secure, separated Ethernet layers make this universal matrix switcher a fit for boardrooms, huddle rooms, and other commercial meeting spaces where reliability and IT-grade security matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UCX-4x3-HC60-BD sits at the center of a modern collaboration space, replacing a rack of point devices with a single universal matrix switcher. Two USB-C inputs and two HDMI inputs feed three HDMI outputs, so a room can drive a primary display, a confidence monitor, and a recording or streaming feed at the same time. Each USB-C connection carries 4K video, audio, data, and power on one cable, and delivers up to 100W of charging (120W total) so a presenter's laptop stays powered through a full meeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis HC60 model adds DSC (Display Stream Compression) over DP Alt Mode, which frees USB lanes so a single USB-C cable can run 4K60 4:4:4 video and full-bandwidth USB 3.1 Gen1 at the same time. That means USB cameras, speakerphones, and touch displays keep working reliably even on longer or lower-quality USB-C cables. The switcher supports HDMI 5K signal formats (5120x2160 at 30Hz 4:4:4 or 60Hz 4:2:0), which suits ultrawide layouts such as Microsoft Teams Front Row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio is handled onboard: uncompressed HDMI stereo can be de-embedded to 2-channel Dante\/AES67, and the Dante USB Audio Bridge enables two-way Dante for rooms with a Dante microphone or ceiling array. For control and commercial deployment, the unit provides two RS-232 ports, GPIO, an occupancy sensor input, and separate secure and configurable Ethernet layers with SSH, SSL, and HTTPS, plus SNMPv3 monitoring and remote Syslog for IT integration. Each HC60 ships secure by design with a unique factory password to align with cybersecurity regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
