2. System Configuration
This section introduces a typical configuration for a system that uses Vision Exchange.
HDMI input devices (such as PCs), USB input devices (such as network cameras), and user
devices (via wireless LAN connection) can be connected to the main unit.
Multiple content can be displayed and discussions/presentations conducted on output devices
such as HDMI displays and DisplayPort projectors connected to the main unit.
The following are supported by adding option functions.
Active learning by adding Mini PCs, called Pods, and connecting them to the main unit to
increase the number of participants
Video conferencing between main unit and other devices
Output streaming of images displayed on the main unit via the network to external devices
for recording images and viewing images from remote locations

7
Remote control of the main unit and Pods from a web browser on a computer or other device
is also supported.
License trial
Option functions can be used without limitation for a period of 3 minutes from start of use of
the corresponding function.
The function terminates after 3 minutes have elapsed (connection is automatically
disconnected).

3. Configuration Examples for Various Use Cases
This section describes samples of the required system configuration for various use cases. This
is intended as reference information for when designing a system.
Interactive Lecture
Basic configuration
An “interactive lecture” is a function that can be used with the minimum configuration. The
configuration for an interactive lecture is recommended as the base system when evaluating
the configuration for other extended configurations.
The interactive lecture configuration is based on a classroom or conference room, where the
images of computers etc. (user devices) possessed by each participant are displayed by a
projector, and the discussion proceeds while switching between the displayed images of
devices.
The required equipment is listed below.
Equipment Quantity Remarks
HDMI display 1 LCD TVs, such as BRAVIA, and projectors can be used.
More intuitive operation is possible using a touch panel type
display.
USB mouse 1 Used for operation of the main unit during installation,
operation, and maintenance.
Not required for operation if using a touch panel device.
However, the mouse is required for maintenance use.
USB keyboard 1 One USB keyboard is recommended for maintenance use.
A software keyboard can be used when it is necessary to
input characters while using the unit.

A network environment is not required to use the minimum configuration.
HDMI outputs of devices, such as notebook computers and cameras, can be connected
directly to the HDMI input connectors of the unit.
Up to four HDMI output devices can be connected with the PEQ-C130, and up to two with
the PEQ-C100.
The unit supports HDCP, enabling connection of a DVD or Blu-ray Disc player to the HDMI
input of the unit.
Extended configuration
This section introduces a sample configuration that provides more enhanced functionality.
In addition to the base configuration, two displays can be connected to the DISPLAY PORT
connectors. The second display can display a different image than the first display. For
example, different presentations can be shown on the two displays to support large-scale
lectures or meetings.
A second HDMI display can be connected when a DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter is connected to
the DISPLAY PORT connector.
Touch panel displays are used, which allows the presenter to conduct a smooth dynamic
session by simply swiping on the screen to switch the displayed image.
If a wireless LAN access point is available, wireless LAN compatible user devices (such as
notebook computers and mobile devices) can connect to support control of the main unit and
mirroring (transfer of screen image of user devices to main unit). A simple system can be
constructed using a wireless LAN access point that supports the DHCP function in a small-scale
configuration. The LAN connectors of the unit are auto MDI/MDI-X ports, enabling direct
connection of a wireless LAN access point using a single LAN cable.

The required equipment is listed below.
Equipment Quantity Remarks
HDMI display 1 Supports connection of an HDMI display.
DisplayPort display 1 Supports connection of an DisplayPort display.
USB-type touch panel 2 By associating two displays with a USB type touch
panel, you can operate by touching the screen of
each display. This provides more intuitive operation
than using a mouse.
USB mouse 1 Used for operation of the main unit during
installation, operation, and maintenance.
Not required for operation if using a touch panel
device. However, the mouse is required for
maintenance use.
USB keyboard 1 One USB keyboard is recommended for
maintenance use.
A software keyboard can be used when it is
necessary to input characters while using the unit.
