Extract from the full HETMA evaluation

Below are selected highlights from the official evaluation (extracts from the complete article):

U-BRIDGE 3 – Long-distance USB without compromise

“USB cameras could operate at full USB 3.0 speeds…over extended Cat6 cabling.”

This validation confirms that U-BRIDGE 3 effectively overcomes one of the biggest AV integration challenges in higher education: USB distance limitations. In real classroom deployments, evaluators maintained full performance even across long cable runs typical of lecture halls and labs. This enables flexible system design, allowing equipment to be optimally positioned without compromising signal quality or reliability.

CAM230 – Simplified multi-camera workflows

“Multiple camera sources feed a single USB connection…simplifying conferencing workflows.”

The CAM230 demonstrated its ability to streamline complex multi-camera environments by consolidating multiple inputs into one USB output. Evaluators highlighted how seamless switching between sources eliminates the need for reconfiguration within conferencing platforms like Zoom. This approach significantly reduces technical friction for instructors and IT teams while enhancing the overall teaching and collaboration experience.

TOGGLE ROOMS XT – Seamless BYOM switching

“Switching between the room system and laptop proved consistent and reliable.”

Testing showed that TOGGLE ROOMS XT delivers a smooth and dependable transition between a dedicated room PC and guest laptops. Multiple switching methods—including hardware controls, auto-detection, and software—performed consistently in real meeting room scenarios. This ensures a flexible and user-friendly BYOM/BYOD experience, ideal for dynamic campus environments and guest-driven collaboration.

Why this triple approval matters

Higher education institutions are rapidly evolving toward hybrid learning, flexible classrooms, and collaborative meeting spaces.

This transformation requires AV solutions that are:

Easy to deploy
Reliable over time
Compatible with existing ecosystems

INOGENI’s growing HETMA-approved portfolio directly answers these needs by focusing on practical integration—not complexity.

From extending USB up to 330 ft., to simplifying multi-camera teaching, to enabling seamless BYOD switching, these solutions are designed for real users, real rooms, and real challenges.

A complete, validated AV ecosystem

With six products now recognized by HETMA:

INOGENI delivers a cohesive, interoperable toolkit for campuses looking to standardize and scale their AV deployments.

What’s next

As universities continue investing in hybrid learning infrastructure, the need for proven, field-tested technology will only accelerate.

This triple HETMA approval reinforces INOGENI’s position as a trusted partner in higher education, delivering solutions that are engineered and manufactured in Canada, and validated where it matters most: in the classroom.
