It has eight HDMI inputs and eight independent HDMI outputs, as well as a USB 2.0 layer that provides the switching of four external USB peripherals (such as webcamera, speakerphone, multitouch display, etc.) to four independent computers or laptops. As an additional benefit, the device offers full 480Mbps data speed over USB 2.0.

The MMX8x8-HDMI-4K-A-USB20 offers 4+2 balanced, bi-directional, 5-pole Phoenix audio ports for embedding and de-embedding audio signals.

Bespoke USB functionality

Unique USB functions allow seamless integration in Unified Communication and small Video Conference rooms. The ”USB 5V Host Detect” function recognizes when a USB cable is connected and performs condition triggering for the Event Manager. For example, switch USB devices to the last connected USB laptop if configured accordingly. The ”USB 5V PWR Switch” turns ON or OFF peripherals’ 5Volt over the USB cable.

”USB Disconnect” helps Cisco Room Kit Mini and Touch 10 control unit to switch between Webcam and Webex video conferencing operation modes. It also solves the problem when Cisco Touch 10 gets locked in USB webcam operation and touch buttons become unavailable.
