Overview
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer SWT3-31-HU 3x1 4K60 USB-C/HDMI Switcher.
SWT3-31-HU is a high−performance auto−switcher with one USB−C and two HDMI/USB
inputs and HDMI output. The connected USB peripherals, such as a room camera and
microphone, are switchable for use of the active USB host, for convenient hybrid meeting
operation with both room and online participants.
SWT3-31-HU provides exceptional quality, advanced and user-friendly operation, and flexible
control.
Exceptional Quality
•Hybrid-meeting Collaborative Switching –Controllable coupled-signals switching of both
AV and USB host inputs, for concurrent connection with AV output and space USB
devices, allows collaborative hybrid meeting where multiple meeting participants are
switched to share their content with both room and online meeting participants.
•HDMI Signal Switching –4K60 4:4:4 HDMI resolution and HDCP 2.3 compliant,
supporting deep color, x.v.Color™, CEC, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0.
•USB 3.1 Switching –USB 3.1 signals switching, enables high data-rate connection
between active USB host and space USB devices, such as 4K camera, high-quality
audio devices, and HID (Human Interface Devices) mouse or keyboard devices.
•HDMI Mirroring –Active USB-C or HDMI input signal is mirrored to loop output port for
connecting a local monitor or adding an additional unit in a daisy chain.
•I-EDIDPro™Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™–Intelligent EDID handling,
processing and pass-through algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation.
Advanced and User-friendly Operation
•BYOD Ease and Convenience –Connect any DP-Alt-Mode-capable USB-C device as an
AV presentation source, while providing the connected device with USB 2.0 and
Ethernet connection, and (if PD-2.0-capable) up to 60 watts of power, via a single USB-
C cable connection only.
•Auto Switcher Ease of Use –Automatically plays signal of the plugged source on the
connected display, according to user-configured preferences, such as last-connected
input.

•Display Power On/Off Control with Ease: Simply press the DISPLAY ON button to toggle
on / off the power of the connected CEC-enabled display. The button's LED indicator
shows you whether the display is currently powered on / off.
•Simple Control –Remote IP-controller connection, browser operation webpage, local
panel buttons, or remotely connected contact-closure buttons, for easy and fully flexible
user ports selection, signals routing, and switcher control.
•Comprehensive Management –Local panel status LED, remote IP-driven firmware
upgrade and management via user-friendly embedded web pages, and remote IP or
local serial service and management via API commands and responses communication,
for flexible service options and ensure lasting, field proven deployment.
Flexible Connectivity
•Easy Online Meeting System Integrated Connectivity –Built-in flexible auto-
disconnection operation of USB devices, such as room cameras and soundbars, enable
detection of BYOD presenter disconnection by online meeting systems for their auto-
activation, convenient integration, and ease of end-user operation according to space
changing hybrid sessions needs.
•Built-in Intelligent Control Gateway - Remote IP-driven intelligent control of connected
AV, USB and sensor devices via CEC, RS-232, IR or I/O. Eliminating the need for an
external control gateway, this feature reduces installation complexity and costs, to
enable easy integration with control systems, such as Kramer Control.
•Secured Network Connection –Standard IT-grade 802.1x authentication for secured IT
LAN connectivity.
•HDMI Mirroring –Active USB-C or HDMI input signal is mirrored to loop output port for
connecting a local monitor or adding an additional unit in a daisy chain.
•Audio De-embedding –The digital audio signal passing-through to the output, is de-
embedded, converted to an analog signal and sent to the stereo balanced analog audio
output. This enables playing the audio on a locally connected professional audio system
(such as DSP) and speakers, in parallel to playing it on the speakers connected to the
AV acceptor device (such as TVs with speakers).
•Easy and Elegant Installation –PoE powering via LAN port connection, and
MegaTOOLS™fan-less enclosure for dropped-ceiling mounting, or side-by-side
mounting of 2 units in a 1U rack space with the recommended rack adapter, for easy
switcher deployment.
