The Lightware UCX-4x3-HC60 universal matrix switcher enhances and extends the possibilities of a meeting room and allows meeting participants to easily use their own devices such as laptops, and preferred video conference platforms while also utilizing the available assets of the meeting space, just like the HDMI displays, room cameras, and other USB peripherals.
Supporting 5K
Taurus devices deliver flawless switching for 5K 21:9 ultrawide displays, unlocking a new level of visual performance for modern meeting and control environments. Designed to enhance layouts like Microsoft Teams Front Row and other collaboration platforms, Taurus provides expanded screen real estate for design, data visualization, and multi-window workflows. With uncompressed HDMI 2.0 video and ultra-low latency, it's the ideal choice for simulation, engineering, broadcast, and executive boardroom applications.
DSC Support - High-Performance Video & USB3, Finally Together
In its class of professional BYOD USB-C matrix switchers, the UCX-4x3-HC60 uniquely combines DSC over DP Alt Mode, full-bandwidth USB 3, host switching, and integrated Ethernet. DSC (Display Stream Compression) enables 4K60 4:4:4 video on just two DP lanes, leaving the remaining lanes available for super-speed USB 3, so a single USB-C cable can deliver premium video and professional-grade USB peripherals simultaneously. This is a major advantage, ensuring smooth operation of USB3 cameras, audio devices, and touch displays while maintaining perfect 4K60 image quality. It also provides a more reliable BYOD experience in modern hybrid meeting rooms, even when laptops have limited DP bandwidth, and improves stability with long or lower-quality USB-C cables by reducing video bandwidth load. macOS supports DSC at the hardware level, though the OS may still restrict certain high-resolution or HDR modes, and DSC behavior can vary across versions. To work properly, the laptop must support DSC and the connection must use DP Alt Mode.
Exploit the Possibilities of USB Connectivity
The device utilizes USB-C connectivity for a simplified transmission of 4K video, audio, control signals, and power, and allows data speeds of up to 5Gbps under the USB 3.1 Gen1 and allows video resolution capabilities up to 5K (5120x2160) via HDMI 2.0 at 30Hz 4:4:4 or 60Hz 4:2:0, as well as 4K@60Hz at 4:4:4. Users who connect their laptop or other mobile device via USB-C can also enjoy charging up to 100W (120W total), thus eliminating the need to look for a wall plug and to avoid sudden interruption of meetings. Devices such as laptops that do not come with USB-C connectivity can also be connected quickly and easily, using a combination of HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.1 Gen1 connections without compromising on either video resolution or data speeds. The device is designed to be a centerpiece of any collaboration space, and can be connected to four USB peripherals via two USB-A type and two USB-C connectors. The device allows up to four hosts to be connected to the system, and also ensures quick and easy switching between these hosts, making this universal matrix switcher a perfect fit for smaller meeting areas, involving 6 - 12 people.
