Audio connection

About audio
The ClickShare Button captures the audio output of the user's laptop and sends it to the Base Unit together with the video signal.
The Base Unit will then mix the audio signals from all Buttons that are sharing their content. The mixed audio will be output at line
levels from the mini jack socket (3.5mm) (green connector on the back of the Base unit) or via the DisplayPort connector depending
on the selection in the Web interface..
It is up to the user to decide whether or not to send the audio signal together with the video signal. The user can decide this by
using the same tools as he would to control the laptop's speakers or a headphone: the audio controls of the operating system (eg for
Windows: Control Panel > Sounds and audio devices) or the physical buttons on the keyboard of their laptop (mute/unmute, lower
volume, higher volume).
There will be synchronization between the audio and video signal.
Audio via DisplayPort
When your display is connected via DisplayPort and it supports audio than a separate audio connection is not necessary. The audio
signal can be sent together with the video signal to the display. Set in the web interface the audio setting to digital.
How to connect separate audio
1. Connect an audio cable with mini jack socket (3.5mm) into the audio out of the Base unit.
