The Ashton Bentley TX2/DX2/UX Meeting Room AV Pack combines a table hub, a room hub, and a USB smart switch so a meeting room can take a guest laptop over USB-C or HDMI, route video to one or two displays, and hand a video bar to the visitor.
The TX2 Table Hub and DX2 Room Hub connect over a single Cat6A or Cat7 cable up to 35 m (114 ft) and carry uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 video. The UX BYOM Smart Switch partners with the DX2 to move USB cameras, speakers, and video bars between a room PC and a laptop.
The DX2 includes a control processor with RS232, CEC, and IP control, plus a built-in web configurator. This is the US power version of the pack.
Ashton Bentley TX2/DX2/UX Features
- Single-cable table-to-room link. The TX2 and DX2 are joined by one Cat6A or Cat7 cable that carries video, audio, USB, and control, and powers the TX2 from the DX2. The manual rates the run at up to 35 m (114 ft), so the table hub can sit well away from the equipment.
- USB-C and HDMI table inputs. The TX2 has one USB-C and one HDMI laptop input. The USB-C port also passes gigabit network, USB 2.0 data at up to 350 Mbit/s, and up to 100W charging with the TX2 USB-C charging supply, so guests plug in one cable for video, network, and power.
- Uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 video. Video runs up to 4K at 60 Hz, 4:4:4, 8 bit over HDMI 2.0, with a 600 MHz maximum pixel clock and HDCP 1.4 and 2.2 support. Text and spreadsheets stay sharp on large displays, though 10-bit and 8K sources are not supported.
- Routing with two outputs. The DX2 adds two auxiliary HDMI inputs, such as a room PC, and two independently scalable HDMI outputs. Switching can follow the table input automatically when a source is connected, or be selected manually from the optional Tablebox Touch Panel.
- UX BYOM Smart Switch for USB peripherals. The UX has two USB-B host ports and three USB-A device ports, so a room PC and a guest laptop share one video bar, camera, or speaker. It reassigns the devices when the laptop connects, without the cable swapping common at a BYOM table.
- Dynamic 5V switching on the UX. When the UX changes host, it briefly turns off 5V on its device ports. Some video bars only leave device mode when USB power drops, and ordinary hubs keep power on, so this helps the bar detect the new laptop instead of locking up.
- Display and codec control in the DX2. The DX2 offers two RS232 display control ports, selectable CEC, a programmable Cisco codec control port, and an RS232 port for third-party control systems. Zoom Rooms Room Controls are supported, and a web configurator handles setup.
- Per-input EDID and HDCP control. Each input has independent EDID, chosen from presets or copied from the connected display, and HDCP can be turned off where it causes problems with video conferencing codecs. This helps when a codec or laptop refuses to negotiate a resolution.
Where the TX2/DX2/UX Fits
Conference rooms with a video bar: Connect the DX2 to a Teams or Zoom video bar through the UX and the TX2 to the table, so a guest's laptop takes over video, camera, and speakers together.
Dual-display boardrooms: The DX2 drives two HDMI outputs and two displays, with RS232 or CEC control of both screens and a room PC on an auxiliary input.
BYOM huddle and training rooms: The room PC stays permanently wired, and visitors connect one USB-C or HDMI cable at the table to present.
Managed corporate AV estates: The DX2 network port supports Telnet and status reporting, so IT teams can monitor many rooms.

Does the TX2/DX2/UX pack work with Mac laptops without drivers?
Yes. Ashton Bentley lists the X-Range as working with Mac or Windows laptops with no drivers, using USB-C Alt Mode video from the laptop.
How far apart can the TX2 and DX2 be installed?
They can be separated by up to 35 m (114 ft) of Cat6A or Cat7 cable. The manufacturer's X-Range brochure quotes 70 m, but the manual and product page say 35 m, so plan for 35 m.
Does the 100-00043-US support 4K at 60 Hz?
Yes. The TX2 and DX2 route up to 4K at 60 Hz, 4:4:4, 8 bit uncompressed video over HDMI 2.0, with HDCP 1.4 and 2.2 support.
Can the TX2 charge a laptop?
Yes. The TX2 USB-C input supports USB power delivery up to 100W when it is powered with the TX2 USB-C Charging PSU (100W), which Ashton Bentley lists for the TX2/DX2 kit.
What does the UX add to the TX2/DX2 kit?
It adds managed USB switching. The UX moves a video bar, camera, or speaker between the room PC and a visitor's laptop, and its dynamic 5V switching helps video bars leave device mode.
Does the UX need its own power supply in this pack?
No, not when it is connected to the DX2. In control mode the UX is powered from the DX2 over ABNET. A separate 24V supply is needed only for standalone use.
Can HDCP be turned off or EDID changed?
Yes. HDCP can be set per input or disabled, and EDID can be chosen from presets or copied from the connected display, which helps with codec compatibility.
Does this pack work with Zoom Rooms and Teams video bars?
Yes. The DX2 supports Zoom Rooms Room Controls, and the manufacturer describes video bars working in BYOD mode, with an embedded Teams or Zoom engine, or both.
