OVERVIEW AND USES
2
The PW1 is a desktop version of the PW1A, sharing the same electronic components, connectors, and user interaction. It has been developed to offer a
very convenient audio video hub where users are able to connect all their audio video equipment, including Blu-ray® players, DVD or gaming consoles,
iPod or iPhone devices for audio or video displays, laptops, and legacy components. Digitizing all analog and video sources, the PW1 connects to an
HDTV via a single HDMI™ cable. Via an RJ45 jack, it can be connected to the in-room Internet port. It can also charge up to two phones or MP3 players
thanks to its USB ports. It also provides two extra power plugs to power devices up to 10 Amperes.

PW1 CONNECTIONS
3
Via the following connectors, users can connect their audio video devices.
• The HDMI connector is ideal for Blu-ray players, Sony®PlayStation®3, Microsoft®Xbox®, as well as up-converter DVD players. The maximum
resolution supported by the PW1 is 1080p at 60 frames per second (1920x1080 progressive). The PW1 is HDMI 1.3*-compliant and displays True
Color when available. The resolution displayed by the PW1 depends on the source resolution as well as on the TV resolution.
• Laptops can display a resolution of up to SXGA (1280x1024 at 60Hz) via the VGA connector. Specificities of multiple video cards present in
laptops, and resolution supported by sinks (TVs), can limit the display output to a lower resolution (as low as 640x480 if the video card of the
laptop supports it). The VGA connector does not conduct audio signal. A 3.5mm cable is necessary to connect the audio output of the laptop to
the PW1. A VGA cable meeting the full VESA specifications is required. As such, pin-9 needs to be present on the VGA connector to enable the
automatic detection of a source.
*The PW1 HDMI input complies with the following standards: HDMI V.1.3
and HDCP V.1.2. Older versions of these standards may not be supported.

• The S-Video connector can display resolutions of up to 480i (NTSC) and 576i (PAL). As such, devices such as DVD players, and iPod and iPhone
devices can be connected and will display the resolution of the source up to 480i or 576i. The S-Video connector does not conduct audio. A 3.5mm
cable or a Left & Right RCA cable will be necessary to connect the audio output of the device to the PW1.
• The composite connector can display resolutions of up to 480i (NTSC) and 576i (PAL). As such, devices such as DVD players, digital cameras, and
iPod and iPhone devices can be connected and will display the resolution of the source at up to 480i or 576i. The composite connector does not
conduct audio. A 3.5mm cable or a Left & Right RCA cable is necessary to connect the audio output of the device to the PW1.
• The 18-pin connector supports all models of iPod, iPhone, and iPod touch via a 30-pin to 18-pin cable. It displays video resolution at up to 480i
(maximum iPod/iPhone output resolution) or 576i. It also charges iPod and iPhone devices.
• RJ45 pass-through. A CAT5 or CAT6 cable needs to be connected at the back of the unit to enable a hard-wire network connection.
• Both USB connectors will charge popular cellular phones such as the BlackBerry®. The original cable supplied by the cellular phone manufacturer
needs to be used to charge certain models.
• The 3.5mm audio connector can be used to connect any devices with a 3.5mm audio output to generate music through the PW1 into the speakers
of the HDTV.
• Power plugs and circuit breaker: The power within the PW1 system is distributed through the 15-Amp circuit breaker. The circuit breaker trips when
the total current drawn by the two AC plugs and the PW1 power supply board becomes equal to or greater than 15 Amps.
