Kramer Electronics MTX2-42-T 4x2 4K60 USB-C/HDMI Matrix Transmitter

In a modern conference room, a presenter connects a laptop via USB-C while a desktop PC feeds HDMI, and the MTX2-42-T routes either source to a main display and a remote screen over HDBaseT. This 4x2 matrix transmitter handles four inputs—two HDMI and two USB-C—and delivers two outputs: one local HDMI and one HDBaseT for long-distance extension up to 100 meters. It supports 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) video, HDCP 2.2, and USB 2.0 extension, making it a versatile hub for collaboration spaces.
