Solve USB tier limitations with U-CAM’s new application!
Did you know that excessive USB tiers (hubs) can disrupt video and audio performance, causing connectivity issues and bandwidth bottlenecks? In multi-USB device setups, these hidden limitations often lead to unreliable signal transmission—especially when using extenders.
The challenge: Too many USB hubs in large AV setups
Large conference rooms and AV installations often require multiple USB devices—such as cameras, microphones, and switchers—to function seamlessly. However, when a videoconferencing camera is connected through a USB extender, followed by a USB switcher, another extender, and finally to the laptop, the USB hub tiers multiply. This excessive layering of USB devices can cause serious performance issues, including:
- Bandwidth limitations impact video and audio quality
- Connection instability causes devices to drop or fail to be recognized
- Complex troubleshooting makes installations harder to manage
The solution? INOGENI’s U-CAM – The USB tier solver
U-CAM optimizes USB 2.0 video and audio feeds by effectively resetting USB hub tiers behind its processing unit. Instead of cascading multiple USB hubs and extenders, U-CAM re-encodes video and audio into a fresh USB composite device, significantly improving connectivity and stability. This ensures a stable, seamless connection to your laptop without overwhelming the USB structure.
Optimize USB 2.0 video and audio feeds with U-CAM
Achieve seamless multi-USB device integration by using U-CAM to hide USB tiers, ensuring a reliable laptop connection without excessive hubs or extenders.
Key considerations
- Limited camera control: Intelligent camera control (e.g., speaker tracking, auto-framing) will not be supported in Teams or Zoom when U-CAM is in the signal path.
- Device visibility: Some PC applications may not detect the end-camera when routed through U-CAM.
- Compatibility scope: U-CAM works with cameras and audio devices but does not translate HID interfaces (e.g. touchscreen controls).
- Clarification on functionality: U-CAM does not reset all USB tiers— it re-encodes video and audio into a new USB device for improved performance.
