The Under-desk and Under-desk double mounting kit makes it easy to mount a single device
on any at surface, e.g. furniture. 1U high rack shelf provides mounting holes for fastening two
half-rack or four quarter-rack sized units. Pocket-sized devices can also be fastened to the
¢
Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.
The receiver is quarter-rack sized.
Under-desk double mounting kit
1U high rack shelf
Connect the receiver and the compatible transmitter or matrix output board
using a multimode single ber optical cable.
Connect the sink device (e.g. projector) to the HDMI output port of the receiver
by an HDMI cable.
Optionally for RS-232 control: connect a controller/controlled device (e.g.
projector) to the RS-232 port.
Optionally connect an analog audio device (e.g. active speakers) to the 5-pole
Phoenix audio output port.
Optionally for USB HID extension: connect at least one USB HID device (e.g.
keyboard and/or mouse) to the receiver. (Also connect the controlled device (e.g.
PC) to the transmitter.)
Optionally for USB control: connect the receiver to the controller device (e.g.
laptop) by a USB mini B-type cable.
Connect the power adaptor to the DC input on the receiver rst, then to the
AC power socket.
