INTRODUCTION
The HuddleVU system allows for multiple users to share and view their laptops, tablets, and smart phones
screens on a main display. Unlike conventional presentation systems, anyone participating can lead the
presentation at any given time at the push of a button. LED’s indicate which user is currently live and when
the system is busy.
HuddleVU creates the ideal environment for people to view and share ideas. The systems include all the
necessary video switching equipment, control hardware, display power control and color-coded captive HDMI
cables. It is a very simple yet effective system to quickly install and use.
There are two model styles available:
The HV-1000 single table box system employs a single FSR HV-T6 table box that allows 1 to
4 users to plug in and power their laptops or other input devices and simply push a button to
display their desktop information on the main display. Any user can switch to their own laptops,
tablets, and smartphones at any time simply by pushing their button on the T6 housing.
The individual HV systems accommodate from 3 to 7 users depending on the model. Each user
has their own FSR HV-T3 table box to plug into. Each table box contains a pullout HDMI cable
and an AC outlet. A single push of a button on each T3 is all that is needed to display the laptop
or iPad’s desktop information onto the main display. An HV-CTL Controller and up to two DV-
HSW-41 HDMI Switchers are included on all systems. The HV-CTL has a power switch, two
AC outlets to power the DV-HSW-41 HDMI Switchers and an additional AC outlet to power the
main display. The HV-CTL is the main termination point for the system components. When
four or less inputs are used the HV-CTL switching can be serially controlled by an external
control system.
FEATURES:
• Single button press user selection
• No software or programming required
• Simple installation
• Create attractive workspaces
• Hardware and cables included
• Conversion kits available for VGA and audio input
• Systems with four or less inputs can be controlled by an external control system
APPLICATIONS:
• Classrooms
• Libraries
• Conference Rooms
• Educational Facilities
• Corporate Teleconference Rooms
• Learning Centers
• Training Rooms
