available for future reference.
Introduction
Lightware’s universal switcher enhances and extends
the possibilities of a meeting room and allows meeting
participants to easily use their own devices such as
laptops, and preferred video conference platforms while
also to utilize the available assets of the meeting space,
just like the HDMI displays, room cameras and other USB
peripherals.
The device utilizes the USB-C connectivity for a simplied
transmission of 4K video, audio, control signals and power,
and allows data speeds of up to 5 Gbps under the USB
3.1 Gen1 and allowing video resolution capabilities up to
4K@60Hz at 4:4:4.
The UCX-4x2-HC30D model also thrives when it
comes to audio capabilities, offering analog audio
de-embedding feature as well as support for DANTE/
AES67 network connection to send DANTE/AES67
audio stream directly to a dedicated audio system.

GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output Ports)
The device has seven GPIO pins that operate at TTL
digital signal levels and can be set to high or low level
(Push-Pull). The direction of the pins can be input or output (adjustable). The signal levels are
the following:
Input voltage (V) Output voltage (V) Max. current (mA)
Logic low level 0 - 0.8 0 - 0.5 30
Logic high level 2 -5 4.5 - 5 18
Plug pin assignment 1-6: Congurable, 7: 5V (max. 500 mA); 8: Ground
The recommended cable for the connectors is the AWG24 (0.2 mm
used ‘alarm cable’ with 4x0.22 mm2 wires.
The maximum total current for the six GPIO pins is 180 mA, the max. supported input/
output voltage is 5V.
