UX BYOM Smart Switch

UX BYOM Smart Switch in UAE – Available Models

• The UX has:
  2 host ports to connect to laptop/room PC
  3 device ports for connecting speaker bars, cameras etc.
• Designed to partner the Ashton Bentley Interconnect Kit (DX2 Room Hub + TX2 Table Hub).

Two modes of operation:
Control.

The DX2 switches USB devices away from Room PC/NUC to the laptop. In this mode the UX is powered from the DX2 via the ABNET connection.

Standalone.
When a laptop USB connection is detected, the USB devices are automatically switched from Room PC/NUC to the laptop. When the laptop is disconnected, the devices switch back to the room PC. In this mode the UX requires a separate PSU.

Dynamic USB 3.0 5V power switching

Why is USB power switching/control important?
Some Videobars can only switch in and out of device mode if 5v is present in the USB connection.

Most 3rd party USB hubs permanently power the USB sockets when a power supply is attached, and so the Videobar ‘remains’ in device mode and many fail to detect when a new laptop is connected. With our dynamic 5v switching, when the UX switches host, the 5v on the USB device ports are automatically turned off momentarily allowing the Videobar to revert to ‘normal’ mode. This unique feature prevents devices locking up or going into ‘device mode’ when they
should not

System Basics.
The BX USB-C Breakout Hub is installed close to the USB-C device, which could be under a table/desk or in a lectern. Video, audio and USB connectivity to peripheral devices. Also connects to the building network. Charge your laptop via the USB-C connection by using the optional PSU.

If used in Standalone mode (without a TX2 / DX2) you will require the optional power supply (part no. 900-00585) to power the UX. There is no configuration required for this mode of operation. When laptop USB connection is detected by the UX the USB devices are automatically switched from Room PC/NUC to the laptop. When the laptop is disconnected, the devices switch back to the room PC.

When the UX is switching between hosts, the USB power to the device ports will turn off momentarily, in order to ensure the connected devices initialize correctly with the new host.
