Overview

1.1 Introduction

Vuzix M400C is a USB-C multi-function device packaged in a smart glasses form factor. M400C
includes a display, camera, touchpad, and other components. Figure 1.1 shows the block diagram
of M400C.
M400C uses USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode to connect as a display to the host PC. The
other functions (audio, sensors, etc.) are provided over USB, and will function normally if the host
does not support USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode. If the host does not support USB 3.0, then
the camera frame rate will additionally be limited.
Since M400C operates as a USB-C peripheral, a host PC is required. M400C is designed to
work with the dynaEdge DE-200 as well as other PCs that support USB-C DisplayPort Alternate
Mode, in addition to select cellphones such as the LG V50.
