UCX-1x1-C60 USB Type-C Docking Station

Lightware’s docking station that exploits the USB-C connectivity for a simplified transmission of 4K video, audio, control signals and power providing meeting participants, utilizing data speeds of up to 5 Gbps under the USB 3.1 Gen1 providing video resolution capabilities up to 4K@60Hz at 4:4:4 as well as comprehensive and secure Ethernet, and now also DSC (Display Stream Compression) for delivering high-quality video even over limited-bandwidth USB-C connections. The device has a charging ability of up to 100W on the USB Type-C port.

Bring Collaboration Spaces to the Next Level

The UCX-1x1-C60 USB Type-C docking station enhances and extends the possibilities of a meeting room and allows meeting participants to easily use their own devices such as laptops, and preferred video conference platforms while also utilizing the available assets of the meeting space, just like the HDMI displays, room cameras and other USB peripherals.

Optionally, a configurable welcome screen can create a professional corporate impression and/or help the user set up the room.

Supporting 5K

Taurus devices deliver flawless switching for 5K 21:9 ultrawide displays, unlocking a new level of visual performance for modern meeting and control environments. Designed to enhance layouts like Microsoft Teams Front Row and other collaboration platforms, Taurus provides expanded screen real estate for design, data visualization, and multi-window workflows. With uncompressed HDMI 2.0 video and ultra-low latency, it’s the ideal choice for simulation, engineering, broadcast, and executive boardroom applications.

DSC Support — High-Performance Video & USB3, Finally Together

In its >DSC over DP Alt Mode, full-bandwidth USB 3, and integrated Ethernet. DSC (Display Stream Compression) enables 4K60 4:4:4 video on just two DP lanes, leaving the remaining lanes available for super-speed USB 3, so a single USB-C cable can deliver premium video and professional-grade USB peripherals simultaneously.

This is a major advantage, ensuring smooth operation of USB3 cameras, audio devices, and touch displays while maintaining perfect 4K60 image quality. It also provides a more reliable BYOD experience in modern hybrid meeting rooms, even when laptops have limited DP bandwidth, and improves stability with long or lower-quality USB-C cables by reducing video bandwidth load.

macOS supports DSC at the hardware level, though the OS may still restrict certain high-resolution or HDR modes, and DSC behavior can vary across versions. To work properly, the laptop must support DSC and the connection must use DP Alt Mode.

Exploit the Possibilities of USB connectivity

The device utilizes USB-C connectivity for simplified transmission of video, audio, control signals, and power, supporting data speeds of up to 5 Gbps under USB 3.1 Gen1. It enables video resolutions up to 5K (5120×2160) via HDMI 2.0 at 30Hz 4:4:4 or 60Hz 4:2:0, as well as 4K@60Hz at 4:4:4. Users who connect their laptop or other mobile device via USB-C can also enjoy charging up to 100W, thus eliminating the need to look for a wall plug and to avoid sudden interruption of meetings.

The device is designed to be a centerpiece of any collaboration space, and can be connected to three USB peripherals via 1x USB-A type and 2 USB-C connectors.

Additional Features and Capabilities

Security is always a key concern to our customers, therefore our engineers ensured that the UCX-1x1-C60 adheres to the strictest security standards.

The Taurus UCX offers noiseless operation, no fan in the device.

In today’s collaboration environments, it is key that the technology offers flexible and versatile ways for participants to unlock the full potential of a collaboration space and to not be limited by the default options offered by their meeting rooms.

The Taurus UCX product family is Lightware’s ground-breaking innovation offered for the increasingly growing demand for cutting-edge solutions in the world of Unified Communications.

Remote System Logging (Syslog)

Taurus devices now support remote system logging via industry-standard Syslog protocols (RFC3164 and RFC5424). This allows seamless integration with external SIEM and log monitoring systems.

• Forward logs via TCP, UDP, TLS

• Choose between human-readable and structured formats

• Easy configuration via LW3 protocol

• Local journald logging remains unaffected
