Extron Electronics has announced the introduction of the HC 404, an easy-to-use AV system solution for small collaboration environments.

The HC 404 features a switching transmitter and scaling receiver that work together to extend video, audio and power up to 70m over a single Cat X cable. It also has two HDMI and VGA input at the transmitter and one HDMI input at the receiver.

“For customers searching for a simple collaboration solution that works right out of the box, the HC 404 system delivers,” says Extron vice president of sales and marketing Casey Hall.

Advanced Extron scaling technology in the receiver ensures excellent image quality with maximum detail and colour accuracy.

Automatic source switching, display control and integration with occupancy sensors are made possible thanks to built-in control capabilities that allow an intuitive and effortless user experience.

“The HC 404 automates common functions and enables users to quickly and effectively work together using any device, simply by plugging in their laptops or tablets to share projects,” says Casey.

An Extron ShareLink wireless collaboration gateway can be integrated to support bring your own device (BYOD) environments, while Ethernet connectivity facilitates management, monitoring and control of AV devices over a standard network infrastructure.

The HC 404 has been designed for professional integration and is ideal for discreet placement in lecterns, beneath tables, behind a display or wherever the application requires.
