4×2 HDMI & USB-C Huddle Room Matrix Switcher
4K60 4:4:4, Dual HDMI Outputs, 100W USB-C PD, USB 3.2 KVM & Dual 1G Ethernet with 802.1x — For Dual-Display BYOD Rooms
Resellers, installers, schools and businesses. Approval is usually the same working day.
The COL-HUD-42 brings full matrix switching to the huddle room — four sources route independently to two displays, giving dual-display rooms the flexibility to show different content on each screen simultaneously. Two USB-C inputs deliver DP Alt mode 4K60 4:4:4, USB 3.2 Gen 1 KVM, 1G Ethernet, and up to 100W PD charging; two HDMI inputs handle legacy and fixed sources. All four can be routed to either output independently.
Built on the same platform as the COL-HUD-21 and COL-HUD-21D, the COL-HUD-42 adds a second HDMI output, four sources, and dual host ports — while keeping the same balanced audio I/O, dual 1G Ethernet with 802.1x/VLAN, CEC/IR/RS-232 display control, and Web GUI that IT teams rely on across the family. The step-up choice for medium conference rooms, training spaces, and any room where two independent display zones are required.
