The Kramer MTX3-42-HU switches two USB-C and two HDMI sources to two HDMI displays, with USB peripheral routing for a shared meeting-room setup.
MTX3-42-HU Detailed Features
- Connect several meeting-room sources. Two USB-C and two HDMI inputs feed a system with two HDMI display outputs. Participants can connect different device types while sharing the room's display and USB equipment.
- Switch presentation and USB connections together. Coupled AV and USB-host switching lets a selected computer use the room peripherals as it presents. This is useful when the meeting host changes between participants during a hybrid session.
- Support compatible USB-C laptops. DP Alt Mode USB-C connectivity carries presentation video alongside supported data functions. The unit supports charging up to 100W; the manufacturer describes the full connection arrangement using two USB-C cables.
- Share higher-bandwidth USB devices. USB 3.2 switching supports suitable cameras, audio devices, keyboards, and mice. Match each peripheral's bandwidth and connection requirements to the system before selecting cables and hosts.
- Send sound to a separate audio system. HDMI audio can be de-embedded to a balanced analog stereo output. This allows the room DSP or speakers to reproduce presentation audio alongside the video display.
- Simplify source selection. Configurable automatic switching can select a newly connected source. Manual controls remain available for rooms where presenters need to choose an input explicitly.
- Control presentation displays. CEC and serial control support automatic or manual display power operation. This can reduce the number of separate actions needed when starting or finishing a meeting.
- Integrate additional room devices. The control gateway supports CEC, RS-232, IR, and I/O functions for compatible equipment. IP control, browser setup, front-panel buttons, and contact closures provide several operating methods.
- Install in a compact equipment location. The fanless enclosure supports surface or dropped-ceiling mounting, with rack mounting available using the recommended adapter. Network authentication and remote management support managed installations.
