Boom ARC
$699.00
the smart bridge for seamless host switching
Boom ARC is the smart bridge for seamless host switching — instantly switching any room from an in-room PC (MTR, Zoom Room, Google Meet compute) to a guest BYOM laptop with a single USB‑C connection. No re-cabling. A 4×2 matrix routes video to dual 4K displays while the built‑in KVM shares cameras, speakerphones, and touch with the active host. Choose hands‑free Auto mode or take control with Conference, Manual, Mirror, and Matrix modes, plus EDID/CEC management and RS‑232/TCP/IP control for rock‑solid compatibility.
Instant Host Switching: Switch the room from the in-room PC to a guest BYOM laptop in seconds with one USB‑C connection — no re-cabling, no delays.
Shared USB Devices (Built‑In KVM): Cameras, speakerphones, touch, and USB accessories automatically follow the active host for smooth hand‑offs.
Flexible Room Modes + Control: Auto, Conference, Manual, Mirror, and Matrix modes — plus EDID/CEC and RS‑232/TCP/IP control — keep switching consistent and reliable.
