3x1 4K60 USB C/HDMI Switcher

The SWT3-31-HU is a high-performance 3x1 automatic switcher built around one USB-C input, two HDMI/USB inputs, and one HDMI output. Alongside 4K video switching at 60 Hz and 18 Gbps bandwidth, it switches connected USB peripherals to the active USB host. This coordination of video and USB switching supports hybrid meetings in which room participants and online participants share devices such as a room camera and microphone.

Ideal Use Cases

The most direct application is a hybrid meeting room with several possible host computers and one HDMI destination. A presenter can use the USB-C input, while two additional systems can occupy the HDMI/USB inputs. The shared USB workflow lets the selected host use connected room peripherals, allowing the camera and microphone to serve the active meeting computer. This arrangement is relevant where in-room content and online participation must work together and different presenters need access to the same room devices. Its 3x1 topology is a clear fit for installations requiring three selectable sources to feed one HDMI output.

Why Choose This Model

The defining reason to choose the SWT3-31-HU is its combination of source switching and USB peripheral switching. Instead of treating the video source and room peripherals as unrelated signal paths, the unit makes connected USB devices available to the active USB host. This gives the USB-C input and two HDMI/USB inputs a coordinated role within the meeting-room system. The product is specified as an auto-switcher, supporting a streamlined workflow when the active source changes. Its documented 4K60 performance and 18 Gbps bandwidth also provide a clear video capability for system planning.

Installation and Integration

System design begins with the switcher's single HDMI output. Connect the USB-C host to the dedicated USB-C input, place the other host systems on the two HDMI/USB inputs, and route the HDMI output to the room's HDMI destination. Connected USB peripherals, including a room camera or microphone, can then be switched for use by the active USB host. During integration, source and destination equipment should be configured around the stated 4K-at-60-Hz performance and 18 Gbps bandwidth. The three-input layout should also be mapped clearly so users know which USB-C or HDMI/USB position corresponds to each available host.

Performance Highlights

The SWT3-31-HU carries a 4K60 designation, with a specified refresh rate of 60 Hz and bandwidth of 18 Gbps. These figures define its documented video-switching performance for a system using 4K sources and an HDMI output. Its performance profile is focused on routing the selected source while maintaining the USB relationship with the active host. The supplied data does not specify HDR, HDCP, scaling, audio-format support, or other video-processing functions, so system selection should be based on the stated 4K60 and 18 Gbps capabilities rather than assumptions about unlisted features.

What Makes It Different

The central distinction is the host-following USB peripheral workflow. In a hybrid meeting, displaying the selected computer is only part of the task; that computer may also need access to the room camera and microphone for communication with online participants. The SWT3-31-HU addresses both requirements by switching connected USB peripherals for use by the active USB host. It also provides a mixed source configuration instead of limiting every connection to one input type: one source position is USB-C, while two are HDMI/USB. All three feed the same HDMI output, keeping the product's role focused and clearly defined.

Final Assessment

The SWT3-31-HU is a strong match for a hybrid meeting installation requiring one USB-C input, two HDMI/USB inputs, one HDMI output, automatic source switching, and shared USB room peripherals. Its 4K60 operation and 18 Gbps bandwidth establish the video performance, while active-host peripheral switching addresses the practical need to move a camera or microphone between meeting computers. For a three-source, single-output room built around both local presentation and online participation, this model combines the essential video and USB switching functions in one coordinated workflow.
