Lightware is enhancing its Taurus UCX family with the HC60 lineup, a hardware upgrade to the existing HC40 models. Driven by technological advances and supply chain improvements, the HC60 fully replaces HC40 units, offering the same capabilities while ensuring wider availability, long-term compatibility, and enhanced performance.
Key upgrades include improved video processing, a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet switch, and modern dual USB-C ports replacing USB-A. Support for Display Stream Compression (DSC) enables 2-lane 4K@60 with minimal compression, providing higher bandwidth, reliability, and seamless integration in today’s AV environments.
“The new HC60 product lineup represents our commitment to anticipating the needs of tomorrow’s meeting rooms and learning environments,” says Gergely Vida, CEO at Lightware. “With enhanced performance, simplified set-up and improved compatibility, integrators can save time while delivering better, future-proof experiences for end users.”
