5. About Your CB300-101
Easy collaborative control of display input switching
Automatically powers display ON and OFF (with CEC monitors)
HDMI compliant cable with internal boost
Compact design allows for easy plug & play
Use as many collaborative controllers as the number of HDMI inputs available
Compatible with all switchers and displays that comply with CEC commands
10 feet of high-quality flat cable
The CB300-101 HDMI cable is a revolutionary HDMI collaborative display controller that allows cooperative display control using a high
quality CEC controller and cable in a single assembly. Multiple CB300-101 HDMI cables allow multiple users to connect to one display
and work together as they seamlessly switch between multiple sources, allowing for collaborative teamwork and cable organization. .
The HDMI cable contains a built-in amplifier to maintain HDMI signal integrity. The CB300-101 has 10 ft. of high quality flat cable.
In a typical application, users connect the flat HDMI cable to a monitor input and then connect the other end of the cable to the source.
As soon as the ShareTime compact unit is plugged into an HDMI laptop output, a white light flashes briefly indicating a connection and
then the LED flashes to indicate the input number of the TV. The LED then turns a solid green and the video is displayed on the TV.
If the TV is in stand-by mode, the CB300-101 automatically turns it on and selects the proper input to assure that the image is properly
displayed. Any number of ShareTime units can be used together to form a collaboration station with a single TV. The CB300-101
constantly monitors its environment by default. When the last CB300-101 is disconnected from the HDMI source, the TV is turned off
after the configured shutdown time.
The CB300-101 can easily be used with any CEC compatible switchers to create a larger multiuser collaborative solution. Its small and
flat cable design allows users to have an easy plug and play experience with instant collaboration. The launch of the UT260-041 and
UT260-052 under table HDMI switchers, is a great addition to the overall collaborative experience.
