into port 2.
Using the correct HDMI and DVI cables
When connecting HDMI or DVI cables to the camera inputs, the PC input, and the
telepresence screen display outputs, ensure you use the correct gauge of HDMI/DVI
cable. For short cable lengths of up to 5m (17 feet), use 28AWG or thicker core. For longer
lengths, use 24AWG or thicker. StarLeaf does not support the use of HDMI or DVI cables of
longer than 15m (49 feet) with the codec.
Connecting your laptop to the codec
You can connect your laptop, in order to share content, in one of two ways:
StarLeaf installation guide, 04 May 2020 Page 5 of 35

About the codec
StarLeaf Pronto
StarLeaf Pronto allows users to meet and share in an instant. When you connect Pronto to
your laptop, your screen and audio are shared with the room so that you are ready to
present immediately. Your StarLeaf meetings are also synchronized with the room
allowing you to join with one touch.
Go to Installing Pronto Cable USB for more information.
DVI-I cable
Connect the DVI-I to DVI-I cable to Computer-In DVI-I on the rear of the codec. For the
convenience of the Group Telepresence users, leave the other end of the cable on the
meeting room table. This allows users to connect a laptop to the Group Telepresence
system when they need to do so. The Group Telepresence system includes a selection of
adaptors to be used with the DVI-I to DVI-I cable where the video output of a PCis other
than DVI-I (for example, VGA, HDMI, DVI-D).
Audio connectors and voltage levels
The audio voltage levels used by the XLR inputs, audio line-in and audio line-out are
specified in the tables below. These levels can be adjusted in Portal > Room system > Edit
room system > Audio and video settings.
For inputs, the table specifies the:

nOutput voltage when muted, no load is 35.3V +/- 4%
nPower output source impedance is 1.975kOhms +/- 2%
3.5mm audio connector pinout
All StarLeaf room systems use a standard 3.5mm connector:
Left signal = tip
Right signal = middle
Ground = back
Extending the camera cables
StarLeaf room systems that use a PTZ camera are provided with camera connection
cables of 5m in length. If you need to install the camera further than 5m from the room
system, you must extend those cables.
You can extend those cables using a third-party product called an extender. This product
effectively carries the media and camera-control signals across a cat 6 Ethernet cable.
StarLeaf has partnered with Sound Control Technologies to provide this solution which is
available at https://www.soundcontrol.net/solutions/#

How to install GT Mini 3330
How to install GT Mini 3330
Before installing a StarLeaf product, read the safety information at
www.starleaf.com/safety.
Pre-requisites
Before installing the room system, ensure you have the following:
nA StarLeaf account
nOne or two telepresence screens that support a 1080p60 input format (use televisions
that have an audio-output capability, or alternatively, you can connect loud speakers
to the codec). If the televisions have an option to enable "Game Mode" or "PC Mode",
then do so as this reduces media processing delays and improves video experience
nSupported video camera
nNetwork connection routable to the public Internet
nMicrophone
nStarLeaf touchscreen controller (not installed)
Unpack the room system. The package contents is:
nCodec
nInstallation sheet
nAC/DC adaptor
nCables
lPower cable
lHDMI to HDMI cables (two) (connects codec to screens)
lDVI-I to DVI-I cable (connects codec to PC video)
lNetwork cable
nAdaptors for the codec-to-PC cable
lDVI-I to HDMI
lDVI-I to VGA
lDVI-I to DVI-D
Positioning the codec
1. Ensure you have chosen an appropriate installation site:
lThe codec must be accessible with all cables easily connected
lYou must provide ventilation for the codec; leave a space of at least 10cm (4
inches) behind, in front, and to the left and right of the codec
lEnsure that the power switch is easily accessible; the power switch is the main
disconnect device for the codec
lUse a grounded AC power outlet for the codec
2. Place the unit on a firm horizontal surface. If you intend to mount the unit, refer to GT
Mini dimensions and mounting (p8).
Connecting cables to the codec
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the StarLeaf Controller port on the codec to the
network port (PoE) on the rear of the touchscreen controller. The network port on the
touchscreen controller is marked with this symbol:
StarLeaf installation guide, 04 May 2020 Page 12 of 35

How to install GT Mini 3330
Note: The touchscreen controller must connect directly to the codec; do not
connect the touchscreen controller via a switch to the codec.
Note: If you are using the StarLeaf Conference Phone 2220, refer to Installing the
Conference Phone 2220 (p27).
2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Network port on the rear of the codec to an
Ethernet switch in your network. The Ethernet port is a 10/100/1000 Mbit/s auto-sensing
port and is set to ‘auto’ by default.
Note: In all cases, the speed and duplex settings at either end of the connection must
be identical. Using non-matching settings causes severe packet loss.
To configure the network speed and duplex settings of the codec’s Network port: on
the touchscreen controller that you have connected to the codec, go to settings >
networking > network port speed.
3. Connect one telepresence screen to Video Out A. If you have a second telepresence
screen, connect it to Video Out B. (Note: on older systems, if you have only one screen,
connect it to the port labeled: HDMI 2.)
4. Connect the camera. One of:
lPTZ camera: connect the camera to Camera Control and to Camera In and then
connect power to the camera
lWebcam: connect the camera to the lower of the two USB ports
5. Connect the microphone to Microphone 1. (Note that you can, instead, use a
microphone connected to Audio In. If you do so, refer to Using the line-in connector
and to Audio settings for Group Telepresence (p21)).
6. Using the supplied AC/DC adaptor and power cable, connect power to the codec.
The power LED on the side of the codec lights.

Mounting the camera
StarLeaf recommends that when you mount the camera, you place it at the top of the
screen, as opposed to the base. This makes it easier for you to see the participants on the
screen while still appearing to make eye contact.
If you have a dual-screen system, ensure that the camera is mounted on the screen that
will display the view of the main video (telepresence screen 1).
Connecting to the StarLeaf platform
Provisioning the room system through the Portal
Either you or your reseller can register the room system using the StarLeaf Portal. To do this:
1. In the StarLeaf Portal, choose Room systems > Add room system. You can see the Add
room system page:
a. Type a Name for the room system. The room system displays the name on the
touchscreen controller and users are able to find this name in the directory. Users
are also able to invite this room system to their scheduled conferences.
b. If required, enable video mail. If enabled, this room system is able to receive voice
and video mail. Deselecting this option means that this room system does not
display the messages button on the touchscreen controller and this is often the
preferred option for room systems.
c. If the display of this room system should use a language other than the default
language for this customer, select the Language.
