3 Smarter AV Designs Made Possible with INOGENI’s TOGGLE DOCK 2x1 
When designing meeting spaces, cost and complexity often spike the moment users need to share USB peripherals across multiple sources. TOGGLE DOCK 2x1 flips that equation. It offers integrators a way to deliver clean, functional USB switching without the need for high-end automation or expensive matrices. Here are three scenarios where it shines brightest:
1. Medium Conference Room with Dual-Use: Room PC + BYOD
Challenge: The room has a fixed UC engine (e.g., Zoom Room or Teams Room), but users often need to connect their own laptop for a different platform. IT doesn’t want to run separate USB lines or rely on users re-plugging gear.
Challenge: The room has a fixed UC engine (e.g., Zoom Room or Teams Room), but users often need to connect their own laptop for a different platform. IT doesn’t want to run separate USB lines or rely on users re-plugging gear.
Traditional (complex) approach:
- USB matrix switcher or full AV-over-IP USB routing
- Programming-intensive control solution to handle switching logic
- Higher cost, more points of failure
TOGGLE DOCK approach:
- Plug camera and audio peripherals into TOGGLE DOCK
- Connect TOGGLE DOCK to both the room PC and a table USB-C input
- Trigger switching via contact closure (tied to HDMI input) or manual button
Result: Automatic USB follow-switching tied to video source. No control processor, no UI programming, and zero user training.
2. Small Meeting Room or Huddle Space with Shared Display and Webcam
Challenge: The room has a wall-mounted display, a USB camera, and users rotate between using a thin client and their personal laptops. You need a simple USB share point with no support overhead.
Traditional (costly) approach:
- High-end USB switcher with built-in hub
- Programming a touch panel or training users on a manual patch panel
TOGGLE DOCK approach:
- Mount the TOGGLE DOCK behind the display
- Route webcam and speakerphone into the dock
- Use a pushbutton on the table for source switching
Result: Seamless user switching between thin client and laptop. No recurring support issues and minimal hardware investment.
3. Training Room with an Interactive Touch Display
Challenge: Both the instructor’s laptop and the room’s in-wall PC need access to the USB touch interface of a large-format display.
Traditional (clunky) approach:
- Manual USB disconnection/reconnection
- Users forgetting to switch USB, leaving touch disabled
- Risk of cable/port damage
TOGGLE DOCK approach:
- Connect the display’s touch USB to TOGGLE DOCK
- Tie HDMI switching to the dock’s contact closure
- When the video source changes, the USB follows automatically
Result: Clean switching between touch control for both sources, all behind the scenes, saving hardware and ensuring a better user experience. INOGENI’s TOGGLE DOCK 2x1 gives integrators a way to deliver hybrid flexibility with fewer boxes, fewer headaches, and a lower total install cost.
