As more classrooms and business environments move to collaborative, open spaces, instructors and corporate leaders are looking for AV and videoconferencing systems that fit adaptive spaces that can be rearranged and reconfigured as needed.
Today, room combining often must meet the needs for HyFlex, or hybrid-flexible, learning too. HyFlex combines face-to-face instruction with real-time or post-session online access to offer participants the choice of various modes of engagement.

TEKVOX raises the bar for distance engagement in both the educational and corporate markets with its groundbreaking 1201-MV Universal Switcher. The latest in TEKVOX’s prestigious line of switchers delivers true Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) video conferencing by eliminating the need for a conventional in-room PC to drive the conference’s technical components.
“Laptops today are powerful, and a lot of video conference participants would really prefer to present from them,” notes TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart. “But they’d have to connect the laptop to the eyes and ears—cameras, mics, speakers—of the conference room and play out the content.
Before, that meant running a lot of cables to the conference table or using a separate PC. Now, they can use the 1201-MV and its built-in USB 3.0 hub to gain immediate access to far-end USB mics and cameras. The full infrastructure of a modern conference room has become plug-and-play.”
The 1201-MV is not just another switcher; it features a two-way USB hub at the far end, which allows any connected laptop to host meetings from the conference room using the installed technology. This groundbreaking capability does away with the need for a dedicated conferencing PC, and removes the security risks and overall annoyance associated with the old use model.
The introduction of the 1201-MV demonstrates TEKVOX’s continued commitment to increase product functionality and reduce the amount of hardware required for successful video conferencing.
The 1201-MV utilizes 6-Play HDBase-T to transport 4K video, digital audio, PoC, RS232, LAN, and USB over a single cable. It also includes a native USB-C input with up to 60W of power charging for a tablet or laptop. It features 12 flexible multiview modes for viewing up to four sources at once without additional hardware, something that was not possible with previous 1201 switchers. Finally, the 1201-MV features auto-switching—a useful function for collaboration & conferencing—and a breakaway HDMI output.
The 1201-MV is available now with an MSRP of $2,998. The switcher is shipped fully functional, pre-programmed, and rigorously tested.

TEKVOX’s new Camera Extender Set improves the capabilities of HDMI cameras in classrooms, auditoriums, lecture halls, and conference centers facilitating distance engagement.
The Camera Extender Set allows integrators to mount an HDMI camera anywhere, without needing an AC outlet at the camera. Using a single CAT cable, the 79086S transports 4K video, bi-directional LAN and RS232, and 2.5A of 12V power to drive a camera at the far-end.
A single outlet at the receiver-end can power the transmitter, receiver, and camera, eliminating the need for a far-end outlet.
Typically, the availability of an AC outlet constrains the placement of HDMI cameras. The 79086S, however, drives the most advanced 4K HDMI camera without any additional power connections, entirely removing that constraint. Greater freedom allows integrators to install the camera wherever it’s needed most, resulting in a cleaner system and a superior user experience.
“The camera extender set significantly lowers the cost of installing a camera, and eliminates the obstacles associated with getting power to a camera,” says TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart. “It’s the ideal solution anywhere integrators want to deploy an HDMI camera over HDBase-T for video conferencing and distance learning.”
The 79086S Camera Extender Set streamlines the installation of HDMI cameras by offering greater freedom of placement, resulting in an enhanced user experience without sacrificing the advanced functionality of a 4K HDBaseT extender pair.
It is available now with an MSRP of $875.

The latest in TEKVOX’s prestigious line of 1201 presentation switchers, the 1201-MV offers even more advanced features to further enhance the company’s popular Drop-In A/V systems.
“The new 1201-MV has all the power and sophistication customers have come to expect from a 1201 switcher, plus an array of cutting-edge features designed for easier integration and more versatile, responsive operation,” says TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart.
As TEKVOX moves to make all of its solutions compatible with 4K, the 1201-MV supports video resolutions up to 4Kx2K@60Hz 4:4:4.
The switcher features five HDMI inputs, as well as one USB-C input with up to 60W of power charging. It offers simultaneous HDMI and HDBase-T video outputs, with the HDMI output capable of acting as either a system confidence monitor or a PC monitor, depending on the application. These capabilities make the switcher more versatile, and reduce the amount of equipment and cabling required for a complete system.
For maximum convenience, the 1201-MV provides USB pass-through ports for a PC and peripheral devices. This allows a single mouse and keyboard to control both the PC and a connected USB-C source, depending on which is selected.
The new 1201-MV offers robust multiview and features 12 flexible configurations, allowing users to view up to four sources at once without additional hardware. “This was not possible with our previous 1201 switchers, and allows our clients to use their systems exactly as they want,” says Reinhart.
The switcher also supports automatic source detection & switching, an in-demand function especially useful for collaboration and conferencing solutions.
The 1201-MV’s HDBase-T output can travel up to 330 feet (100m) without any additional amplification, and supports PoH for remotely powering the receiver, resulting in convenient, single-cable installation. The 1201-MV also features sophisticated audio embedding & de-embedding, ensuring clear, reliable sound regardless of how it’s used. Finally, the switcher can be controlled via IR remote, RS-232, or TCP/IP commands for versatile, responsive operation & easy integration into any system.
The 1201-MV is available now with an MSRP of $2,995. The switcher is shipped fully functional, pre-programmed, and rigorously tested.
