Extron has released the UCS 601 Pro 4K USB-C dock to adeptly connect USB-C laptops to HDMI displays, supporting up to three USB devices and ensuring high data rates of up to USB 10Gbps.

Perfectly tailored for platforms such as Teams, Zoom and other UC applications, the UCS 601 4K USB-C Dock is the optimal Pro AV docking solution for environments that require minimal AV hardware yet desire maximum functionality.

“With USB cameras, microphones and other peripheral devices becoming more common in small huddle spaces, we are always looking for innovative ways to streamline the meeting experience for end users,” Extron chief marketing officer Casey Hall says.

“The UCS 601 Pro 4K USB-C Dock leverages the full power of USB-C connections by providing a single connection for video, USB data and power for USB-C laptops. This takes small collaboration spaces with local and remote users to a new level.”

The HDMI output is engineered to support resolutions up to 4K, while the USB-C input efficiently handles video/audio, USB data and even charges the user’s laptop with its integrated 60W power supply.

The user-friendly UCS 601 offers intuitive collaboration in UC spaces, including simple rooms without a control system. It will automatically connect laptops to the room’s display and USB cameras or other room devices. As laptops are disconnected, the display will automatically go into standby mode, offering an automated approach to energy savings.

Its compact one-quarter rack width 2.5cm high metal enclosure makes it easy to mount within furniture or under a table using the included ZipClip 200 mounting accessory or in an equipment rack using an optional rack mounting shelf.
