Anaheim, California (March 26, 2025) - Extron is pleased to introduce the UCS 504, a 4K collaboration switching transmitter and scaling receiver kit that combines AV and USB switching with twisted pair signal extension. With USB cameras, microphones, and other peripheral devices becoming more common in small meeting spaces, the ability to connect users' laptops to these devices at multiple locations in a room has become critical to a successful meeting experience. The UCS 504 supports switching up to six USB room devices, with one that supports rates up to USB 10 Gbps, and five that support rates up to High Speed (USB 2) while providing power. It also uses a single CATx cable to extend the video and High Speed (USB 2) signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) between the transmitter and receiver for streamlined installation. The UCS 504 makes it easy to integrate AV sources and USB cameras for Teams and Zoom meetings into conference and collaboration spaces no matter where the AV equipment is located.

"We've created a comprehensive USB-C switching and extension solution that addresses the rising need to support cameras and mics in UC meetings while powering those devices," says Casey Hall, Chief Marketing Officer for Extron. "The UCS 504 offers seamless connectivity and power delivery and streamlines installation extending signals over a single CATx cable, enhancing efficiency and creating successful meeting spaces."

The UCS 504 switcher/receiver kit includes a transmitter that supports USB-C and dual HDMI with USB inputs for BYOM laptops and a scaling receiver that provides an additional HDMI with USB input for a dedicated UC computer and an HDMI output to the room display. Six USB device connections support cameras or mics up to USB 10 Gbps and HDMI outputs enable resolutions up to 4K/60. The system supports auto-switching and automation capabilities including CEC, RS-232, or IR control to a display. The compact half rack width transmitter can mount under a table while the 1" (2.5 cm) high receiver easily mounts behind a display. Integrating traditional AV display switching with USB peripheral device switching in one unit takes collaboration between local and remote users to a new level.
