ClearOne has released the ClearOne Versa UCS2100 Collaboration Switcher Kit for today’s hybrid, flexible unified communications (UC) meeting spaces.

Designed for use in small to mid-sized meeting rooms, board rooms and executive offices, the new Versa UCS2100 automatically detects HDMI and USB-C sources, such as a dedicated in-room PC or a Bring-Your-Own-Meeting (BYOM) laptop.

“Our partners rely on ClearOne to lead the way in the development of real-world solutions that meet the needs of today’s ever-changing meeting and collaboration customers across all vertical markets, and we intend to meet their highest expectations in this regard,” ClearOne chief executive officer Derek Graham says.

The Versa UCS2100 Collaboration Switcher Kit offers the flexibility for users to access the same set of in-room AV peripherals, such as cameras and audio devices. Its USB-C input provides up to 60W charging and provides simultaneous HDMI and HDBaseT output.

When combined with ClearOne UNITE series PTZ cameras, INTERACT, CONVERGE Pro 2, CONVERGE HUDDLE and CHAT series audio conferencing devices, the Versa UCS2100 delivers guaranteed performance and a streamlined user experience that supports automatic source detection and switching and is controllable via RS-232, TCP/IP or front panel buttons.

Bi-Directional HDBaseT 3.0 allows the remote peripherals to be placed at a distance of up to 100m and provides 48V PoE. It also features Dual USB hosts (USB-B and USB-C) for in-room PC and BYOM laptop connectivity and it supports up to 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 resolution, HDCP 2.2, HDR 10 and Dolby Vision.

“We will continue to evaluate the needs of businesses and individuals working in today’s complex office and learning environments, and we’re proud to deliver innovative features and benefits to make every meeting easier and more productive,” Derek says.
