Alfatron Electronics Announces SCK51TS-D Dante and HDBaseT
Presentation Switcher
The newly introduced SCK51TS-D switcher has a built-in Dante audio input and output interface
Alfatron Electronics, a manufacturer of products for the AV market, introduced the
SCK51TS-D
Presentation Switcher. With support for video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, 8-bit deep
colour,
auto or manual switching, and HDCP 2.2 compliance, the new SCK51TS-D is a seamless 5 x 1
presentation switcher that makes the ideal solution for intuitive control in today's software-based
video teleconferencing rooms.
The SCK51TS-D provides five video inputs- two USB C and three HDMI inputs. Each USB C input supports
LT DP mode up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8-bit deep colour, USB 2.0 data, and 60W power charging to a USB C
source device. It also features Ethernet over USB C functionality to enable a USB C source device to
seamlessly access the Internet. Local USB KVM switching and extending USB 2.0 over HDBT are also
supported to connect external USB 2.0 devices such as cameras for a video conference. Equally
notable, the SCK51TS-D offers both multiview and single view video output capability. With the
multiview function, multiple sources can be displayed on a single screen.
The SCK51TS-D switcher has a built-in Dante audio input and output interface, and it can easily be
connected to any existing Dante enabled audio processing system. The switcher can be controlled via
the front panel buttons, a remote control, API commands using RS 232, or TCP/IP. The integrated Web
server/GUI features A/V control, automatic display control, and input EDID management, making the
unit ideal for software-based video teleconferencing applications.
Kevin Gelman, National Sales Director, CFO at Alfatron Electronics, commented on the new SCK51TS-D
Presentation Switcher, "Consisting of two components-the switcher and receiver-the SCK51TS-D is a
comprehensive control and management system for today's most advanced video conferencing
environments. With the ability to manage uncompressed 4K signal over HDBT 3.0 up to 132 feet via a
single Cat6a cable or uncompressed 1080P signals over HDBT 3.0 to a distance of 230 feet via a
single Cat6a cable, this system makes it easy to accommodate a wide range of source devices. Equally
noteworthy, this system provides audio DSP to manage gain, equalizer, volume, and delay - ensuring
that the sound quality will be every bit as impressive as the on-screen imagery. Simply put, the
SCK51TS-D provides all the right tools to ensure maximum engagement of the people in attendance."
