Equipment Rack Location

When determining where to place your equipment rack, keep in mind the distance between the rack and the
displays. These must be in somewhat close proximity due to the physical limitations of HDMI transmission.
If the distance is too great, you may need to purchase extender cables and an HDMI amplifier.
For more information about recommended extender cables as well as recommended equipment racks, refer

One of the best places to place the equipment rack is in a server room behind the wall on which the displays
are located. If the room behind that wall is available and you place your equipment rack in that room, you
reap multiple benefits:
 The noise and heat associated with the equipment rack is removed from the VidyoPanorama room.
 The distance between the displays and the equipment rack can be minimized (thereby reducing the
need to purchase extender cables).

You can recess the camera in the wall between or above the displays and have access to the back of
the camera from that server room.
If a separate server room is not available and you must place the equipment rack in the VidyoPanorama
room, you should purchase an equipment rack that has an office-quality appearance (such as the Kell
Systems equipment rack recommended by Vidyo). The illustrations on page
location for the equipment rack in the VidyoPanorama room. By placing the rack near the displays as
shown, you minimize the length of the cables needed to connect to the displays and other equipment in the
room.
The Kell Systems equipment rack recommended by Vidyo for use in the conference room has the following
specifications when populated with three Decoder Nodes and one Controller Node:

40.5 dBA total noise generated by the rack when measured 39.37" (1.00 m) in front of the rack.
