Ethernet switch controller BARCO UNI-4000 Connect Kit for UNI-4000 series control systems

The BARCO UNI-4000 Connect Kit is an Ethernet switch engineered specifically for use with UNI-4000 series control systems. It provides wired network connectivity to link UNI-4000 controllers with BARCO devices and other networked equipment, enabling centralized control and reliable communication in professional AV installations. The device is intended to support the networking needs of control rooms, meeting spaces and fixed installations where stable, low-latency Ethernet connections are required.

Advantages

The Connect Kit offers a dedicated network path for UNI-4000 controllers, reducing configuration complexity when integrating multiple BARCO devices. As a wired Ethernet solution, it delivers predictable latency and stable throughput for control messaging and device management. The switch is designed to be compatible with the UNI-4000 control ecosystem, streamlining device discovery and communication for system integrators and AV technicians.

Suitable for

• Centralized AV control rooms using UNI-4000 systems
• Meeting rooms and conference spaces requiring wired control links
• Fixed installations where reliable Ethernet connectivity is needed for BARCO devices
• System integration projects that centralize device control and monitoring

Key specifications

• Function: Ethernet switching for UNI-4000 control systems
• Connectivity: Wired Ethernet ports for controller and device links
• Primary use: Network communication and centralized control of BARCO devices
• Deployment: Professional AV installations, control rooms, meeting spaces

How to use

Install the Connect Kit in the network infrastructure that serves the UNI-4000 controllers and connected BARCO devices. Connect the UNI-4000 controller and peripheral devices to the switch using standard Ethernet cabling. Ensure that the physical network connections follow site cabling practices and that power and grounding adhere to installation requirements. After connections are made, verify network communication and device discovery within the UNI-4000 control interface to confirm proper integration.

Usage recommendations

Place the Ethernet switch in a protected rack or cabinet with adequate ventilation and secure cabling. Use stranded or solid-core Ethernet cable types as recommended for your site runs, and follow local network policies for IP addressing and VLAN configuration when integrating with existing infrastructures.
