Introduction
Overview
Altimium 4K 6 Multi-format Inputs Extender Switch with USB Extension for
Softcodec which provides AV switching, USB, HDMI, DP, VGA and USB-C
extension , plus system control for meeting spaces using PC-based
conferencing codecs such as Microsoft Skype, Cisco WebEx and Citrix GoTo
Meeting. The Transmitter and receiver kit offers six video inputs shared
between both devices for HDMI, Display Port, VGA plus analog audio in and
USB-C video signals. To simplify conference room device management, the
kit provides four USB type B connectors for host computers. Six built-in USB
hubs, three on the transmitter and three on the receiver, allow for numerous
Human Interface Devices (HID) as well as USB cameras and microphones.
The kit is compatible with Ultra High Definition source up to 4K/UHD@60 Hz
with 4:2:0 color subsampling. All audio, video, data, control, USB, and
Ethernet transmission between the two devices is carried over a single,
Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT link up to 328 feet (100 meters).
It simplifies classroom and small office system integration, for installation
beneath conference tables and in lecterns, to provide localized presentation
switching support.
