Sound Control Technologies USB-PDI – Single-Cable USB-C BYOM Adapter

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies USB-PDI is a single-cable USB-C adapter that delivers DisplayPort Alt Mode video, USB data, audio, and laptop power delivery to the conference table through one locking USB-C connection. It is built for BYOM (bring your own meeting) rooms where presenters need to share content and run the room camera and microphones from their own laptop without juggling separate HDMI, USB, and power cables. The USB-PDI connects directly to SCT RemoteTableKit table integration kits or operates as a standalone USB-C docking point in commercial meeting spaces.

Product Description

BYOM rooms succeed or fail on the table connection experience. The USB-PDI consolidates everything a presenter needs into a single full-function USB-C jack: DisplayPort 1.4a Alt Mode video converted to HDMI output at 4K@60 4:4:4 with HDCP 2.3, USB 3.1 Gen 2 passthrough for the room camera and audio peripherals, and USB power delivery to keep the laptop charged through the meeting. The locking USB-C connector prevents accidental disconnects mid-presentation. In an integrated deployment, the USB-PDI feeds the RTK-MINI, RTK-Plus, RTK-Pro, or RTK-X57 RemoteTableKit, which carries the signals back to the codec location; it also works as an independent BYOM docking solution wherever full-function USB-C is needed at the table. The kit includes the module, a pair of mounting L-brackets for under-table installation, USB-A to USB-C, USB-A to Micro-B, USB-C to locking USB-C, and HDMI cables, plus the USB-C power supply. Sound Control Technologies has since introduced the USB-PDI-100 with 100W power delivery; this listing is the original USB-PDI model. The product won a TNT Best of Show award at ISE.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the presenter connect to?

A single locking USB-C cable at the table. Through that one connection the laptop sends video, accesses the room camera and audio devices over USB, and receives charging power.

Does the USB-PDI require an SCT RemoteTableKit?

No. It pairs with the RTK-MINI, RTK-Plus, RTK-Pro, and RTK-X57 in integrated room designs, but it also works as a standalone USB-C BYOM docking point.

What video resolution does it support?

The USB-PDI accepts DisplayPort 1.4a Alt Mode from the laptop and outputs HDMI at up to 4K@60 4:4:4 with HDCP 2.3.

Does my laptop need a specific USB-C port?

The laptop USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode for video. Most business-class laptops with full-function USB-C or Thunderbolt ports qualify.

How is the USB-PDI mounted at the table?

The kit includes a pair of L-brackets for under-table mounting, keeping the module concealed with only the locking USB-C cable presented to users.

Is there a higher-power version?

Yes. Sound Control Technologies offers the USB-PDI-100 with 100W power delivery for high-power laptops. Contact Creation Networks to discuss which model fits your deployment.
