"End users often want to control their huddle room AV using personal devices," said Casey Hall, VP of worldwide sales and marketing. "Upgrading an HC 400 Series collaboration system with LinkLicense is a simple, cost-effective way to let people use their tablet, laptop, or smart phone as the primary control interface."

The Bottom Line: The Extron HC 400 Series are easy-to-use AV systems for collaboration spaces. They combine video switching, scaling, signal extension, and system control into transmitter and receiver pairs that integrate with a variety of room configurations. Users can quickly share projects by simply connecting their laptop, tablet, or other source device.
