Description
Bring Collaboration Spaces to the Next Level
The UCX-1×1-C40 USB Type-C docking station enhances and extends the possibilities of a meeting room and allows meeting participants to easily use their own devices such as laptops, and preferred video conference platforms while also utilizing the available assets of the meeting space, just like the HDMI displays, room cameras and other USB peripherals.
Optionally, a configurable welcome screen can create a professional corporate impression and/or help the user set up the room.
Supporting 5K
Taurus devices deliver flawless switching for 5K 21:9 ultrawide displays, unlocking a new level of visual performance for modern meeting and control environments. Designed to enhance layouts like Microsoft Teams Front Row and other collaboration platforms, Taurus provides expanded screen real estate for design, data visualization, and multi-window workflows. With uncompressed HDMI 2.0 video and ultra-low latency, it’s the ideal choice for simulation, engineering, broadcast, and executive boardroom applications.
Exploit the Possibilities of USB connectivity
The device utilizes USB-C connectivity for simplified transmission of video, audio, control signals, and power, supporting data speeds of up to 5 Gbps under USB 3.1 Gen1. It enables video resolutions up to 5K (5120×2160) via HDMI 2.0 at 30Hz 4:4:4 or 60Hz 4:2:0, as well as 4K@60Hz at 4:4:4. Users who connect their laptop or other mobile device via USB-C can also enjoy charging up to 100W, thus eliminating the need to look for a wall plug and to avoid sudden interruption of meetings.
The device is designed to be a centerpiece of any collaboration space, and can be connected to three USB peripherals via USB-A type connectors.
Additional Features and Capabilities
Security is always a key concern to our customers, therefore our engineers ensured that the UCX-1×1-C40 adheres to the strictest security standards.
The Taurus UCX offers noiseless operation, no fan in the device.
In today’s collaboration environments, it is key that the technology offers flexible and versatile ways for participants to unlock the full potential of a collaboration space and to not be limited by the default options offered by their meeting rooms.
The Taurus UCX product family is Lightware’s ground-breaking innovation offered for the increasingly growing demand for cutting-edge solutions in the world of Unified Communications.
Supporting SNMPv3
SNMP is an industry standard IT protocol used for network device and application monitoring from small systems up to global enterprise level IT environments. Lightware Taurus video switchers are supporting SNMPv3 -the latest and most secure version- and can be integrated to standard IT device monitoring systems like SolarWinds, Nagios, Zabbix, etc.
This way there is no need to create and setup custom AV monitoring solutions neither to invest energy in maintaining those. Lightware Taurus devices can be added to the IT enterprise network and device monitoring system easily and hustle free using the well known standard applications.
Remote System Logging (Syslog)
Taurus devices now support remote system logging via industry-standard Syslog protocols (RFC3164 and RFC5424). This allows seamless integration with external SIEM and log monitoring systems.
- Forward logs via TCP, UDP, TLS
- Choose between human-readable and structured formats
- Easy configuration via LW3 protocol
- Local journald logging remains unaffected
