Application Wiring
There are two different application methods with wiring examples shown below each.
APPLICATION 1 – BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting)
This first application for BYOM includes two different methods of wiring, depending on the
capabilities of the connected laptop.
The first method can be used if the laptop supports USB Type-C where a single USB Type-C can
be used to project video from the connected laptop as well as receive microphone audio and
camera video from the HT-MERCURY. This method supports DP1.4, USB3.0, USB2.0 and PD (max
60W).

Hall Technologies November 2, 2022 Page 8 of 31
The second method is used if the laptop does not support USB Type-C. In this method both HDMI
and USB-A to USB-B cables are needed. The laptop uses the HDMI to project video through the
HT-MERCURY to the connected display and uses the USB-A to USB-B cable for microphone audio
and camera video from the HT-MERCURY.
APPLICATION 2 – ZOOM ROOM + BYOM
This second application for BYOM includes integrating the HT-MERCURY with a Zoom Room PC.
This is accomplished by adding a USB Capture device to convert the HDMI video out of the HT-
MERCURY into the Room PC along with a USB cable. In this application the laptop is used as a
source into the Room PC through the HT-MERCURY and the Room PC can view the source along
with the camera for Zoom calls.
USB-B
USB-B
HT-Voyager Dongle

Bluetooth Pairing
The device can be controlled using the included Bluetooth remote controller once the two have
been paired with each other.
To pair with the Bluetooth remote controller:
1. Press and hold the pairing button located
on the right side (when looking at the front
of the HT-MERCURY). The front LED will
