These devices also retain the advantages of the already-familiar universal matrix switchers, such as easy and straightforward connectivity, simplified and automated controls, or HDMI and USB-C right at hand.
In the case of the newly introduced product variants, it is true that the switcher also thrives when it comes to audio capabilities, offering analog audio de-embedding features as well as support for DANTE/AES67 network connection to send DANTE/AES67 audio stream directly to a dedicated audio system.
In addition, the BRIDGED DANTE Bidirectional Dante variant is recommended for medium-sized rooms and auditoriums, beacuse of the built in DSP. The UCX-4x3-HC40-BD universal matrix switcher with Dante USB Audio Bridge feature facilitates two-way Dante functions, enabling its use in meeting rooms equipped with a Dante microphone or other DANTE sources, all without the need for an external DSP or Dante/USB dongle.
Dante operates bidirectionally with 2 input channels and 2 output channels.
In addition to the DSP functionality, the Taurus device includes a Dante-to-USB bridge. This bridge enables bi-directional conversion between Dante and USB, allowing the computer to recognize the Taurus as a USB audio device. When connected via USB to a PC, the Taurus can be renamed as a USB audio device.
