About the MediaPort 200

The MediaPort 200 is an HDMI and audio to USB converter that interfaces between
professional audiovisual equipment and computer-based conferencing software to facilitate
video conferencing with soft codecs. Incoming HDMI video at multiple resolutions is scaled
and output via USB to a computer.
Audio DSP allows for incoming audio signals, both digital (embedded HDMI and USB
playback) and analog (mic/line) to be manipulated and embedded on the USB outputs.
Other features include Auto Memory, Auto-Image, and internal test patterns.
Setup and control are provided via front panel buttons and an LCD screen, a front
panel USB Config port, a rear panel RS-232 port, and a rear panel Ethernet port. The
Windows-based PCS configuration program can be accessed through the USB Config and
Ethernet ports, while SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands can be issued via the RS-232,
USB Config, and Ethernet ports.
The 1U high, half rack wide, 9.5-inch (24.1 cm) deep enclosure can be placed on furniture
near table microphones and line level sources. It can also be mounted to a rack or under or
through furniture. For information on mounting options and UL rack mounting guidelines see
