Vanco International is launching the EVEXUSB32 HDBaseT USB 3.2 Extender. This USB-C host has an extension range of 328 feet (100m). The EVEXUSB32 leverages HDBaseT-USB3 chipsets to extend full USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 over a single Cat6/6A cable. It is backwards-compatible with all prior USB standards and includes both USB-A and USB-C ports for new and legacy device support.

[Trends, Technologies, and What to Expect in Vegas]

The EVEXUSB32 consists of two devices: the host and the receiver. Leveraging PoH, only one unit—the host or receiver—needs to be connected to external power. The host unit features a single USB-C port, while the receiver has three USB-A ports and one USB-C port. This configuration allows the simultaneous connection of up to four peripherals. The receive unit also offers ample power delivery: the USB-C port and one USB-A port deliver up to 1.5A each, while the remaining two USB-A ports offer 1A each. 

The EVEXUSB32 delivers up to 5 Gbps data throughout for USB data and control. In addition to USB signal extension, EVEXUSB32 features passthroughs for RS-232 controls and FSYNC (frame synchronization) for multi-camera videoconferencing or production setups.

AtlasIED will highlight the new CLA series of amplifiers at Booth C8634. The CLA Series incorporates patent-pending Power Share technology, allowing for controllable power levels to be accurately applied to different zones regardless of the load impedance.

An analog multi-select knob on the amplifier allows for simplistic power share modifications; each pair of channels can share the power load in four pre-determined increments, and power-sharing is configurable between each pair of channels, regardless of the load on individual channels. 

The multi-impedance amplifiers are designed for versatility in both commercial distributed systems and sound reinforcement low impedance applications. This makes the CLA Series ideal for use in restaurants, presentation rooms, classrooms, conference rooms, and retail background/foreground music applications.

A powerful addition to its AV product lineup, the series includes the CLA804, CLA404, CLA402, and CLA202, two or four-channel amplifiers that range from 200 to 800 watts.
