Extron has released the UCS 303 Presentation Switcher with USB-C, a collaboration and presentation switcher designed to meet the unique needs of UC meeting spaces.

The UCS 303 makes it easy to integrate AV sources and USB cameras for Teams and Zoom meetings, into huddle, meeting and collaboration spaces.

“With the ever-increasing need for on-the-go collaborative spaces that help people meet, share information and connect, we are always looking for innovative ways to help our customers streamline the installation and maintenance of UC meeting rooms,” Extron chief marketing officer Casey Hall says.

“The UCS 303 4K Collaboration and Presentation Switcher makes it easy to integrate AV sources and USB cameras into UC Teams and Zoom meetings, while providing features that offer greater flexibility, convenience and a more intuitive user experience.”

With the UCS 303, meeting spaces can integrate a room’s USB cameras and microphones with users’ portable laptops into Teams or Zoom meetings.

Three inputs support the connection of USB, HDMI and DisplayPort sources, while five USB device ports connect to peripherals such as USB cameras and microphones. The USB-C input provides video/audio, USB and 60W of power to charge a user’s laptop computer.

The UCS 303 offers intuitive collaboration with auto switching which can prioritise inputs, providing natural switching and minimal user interaction with AV hardware. Small huddle spaces will benefit from UCS 303 support of TeamWork Show Me cables and retractors, which places control at users’ fingertips.
