    After making a connection, the decoder side will see, hear, and control encoder-side source by default. On the encoder side, the NGS-D200 loopback feature allows video, audio, and peripheral (USB) signals and data to pass through for connection to a monitor, speakers and the source. This enables collaboration between the two sites as the user at the encoder side can continue to operate their workstation as it is being shared with the decoder side.
