News / 30.05.24
The need for seamless and efficient hybrid meeting solutions is more critical than ever. Introducing Kramer’s SWT3-31-HU, a groundbreaking switcher that combines audio-switching and multi-format switching in one compact device. This versatile tool is designed to enhance collaboration and streamline the integration of various devices, making it the ideal product for hybrid meetings.
Hybrid-Meeting Collaborative Switching
Kramer’s switcher excels in facilitating collaborative hybrid meetings. Its controllable coupled-signals switching for both AV and USB host inputs allows for simultaneous connections with AV output and space USB devices. This means that multiple meeting participants can effortlessly share their content with both in-room and online attendees, ensuring a smooth and inclusive meeting experience.
BYOD Ease and Convenience
It offers unmatched convenience for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenarios. It supports any DP-Alt-Mode-capable USB-C devices as an AV presentation source. Additionally, it provides USB 2.0 and Ethernet connections, and if the connected device is PD-2.0-capable, it can supply up to 60 watts of power via a single USB-C connection. This simplifies the setup process, reducing cable clutter and enhancing the overall user experience.
HDMI Signal Switching
This switcher is fully equipped to handle HDMI signal switching, being HDCP 2.3 compliant. It supports a range of advanced features including deep colour, x.v.Color™, CEX, and uncompressed audio channels. It also accommodates high-quality formats like Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0. This ensures that your video presentations are delivered with the highest possible quality.
USB 3.1 Switching
The inclusion of USB 3.1 signal switching allows for high data-rate connections between active USB hosts and space USB devices. This is particularly beneficial for connecting 4K cameras, high-quality audio devices and HID (Human Interface Devices) such as mice or keyboards. It enhances the versatility and functionality of any meeting setup.
Audio De-Embedding
The SWT3-31-HU features advanced audio de-embedding capabilities. It converts the digital audio signal passing through to the output into an analogue signal and sends it to the stereo-balanced analogue audio output. This enables you to play the audio on a locally connected professional audio system (such as a DSP) and speakers, while also playing it on the speakers connected to the AV acceptor device (like a TV with speakers). This dual functionality ensures clear and powerful audio for all participants.
Auto Switcher Ease of Use
User convenience is at the forefront of the switcher's design. It automatically plays signals from the plugged source on the connected display, based on user-configured preferences such as the last-connected input. This auto-switching feature eliminates the need for manual input selection, making the operation of the device intuitive and hassle-free.
Kramer’s SWT3-31-HU switcher is a game changer for hybrid meetings, providing a seamless and efficient way to integrate multiple devices and facilitate collaborative interactions. Its combination of auto-switching, multi-format capabilities, and user-friendly features makes it an indispensable tool for modern meeting environments.
