To achieve the best performance using AVPro Edge’s USBC Wall Plate, a USB-C cable capable of 10Gbps must be used (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 is currently unsupported).
​
When looking for a proper cable, make sure it is labeled accordingly. A good cable should feature labels containing:

• USB 3.1 Gen 2
• SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps
• 10 Gbps

Finding cables with these labels helps prevent buying power only cables (unable to transmit video) or cables unable to transmit above 5Gbps.

The ideal audio/video distribution system for classrooms and conference rooms needs to be able to host presentations from a variety of sources - whether it’s a laptop, tablet, or phone. The connection needs to be quick and easy. With an ever-expanding bounty of operating systems, all processing differently, that task is a daunting one. ConferX offers a solution to this equation.

ConferX allows you to connect most sources through HDMI, USB-C, VGA and DisplayPort input ports. Once connected, the user can share their screen to any of the connected displays. Depending on your audio needs, you can also distribute and amplify the audio signal with independent audio control for each of the rooms. Audio auto-ducking features allow interoperability with pre-existing intercom systems alongside the newest 4K and multi-channel signals available.

To easily piece together your next ConferX System, we have built this step by step guide for selecting the correct products to meet your needs and AVPro standards.

Step 1: Gather the Needs of the Installation
This is the universal step for just about any project but one that can’t be overlooked. In order to put together a successful installation, the integrator needs to understand the needs and wants of the end user. This is where you will determine how many independent zones are needed, how many displays and speakers are in each zone, as well as where presenters will need to get connected.

​Step 2 - Choose The Transmitter
Luckily, ConferX offers many choices for getting sources connected to the system. We have under the table connection solutions for discrete permanent sources, as well as sleek, low profile wall plates that fit into any standard mud-ring.

• Under the Table Input HDBaseT Transmitter - AC-CXTT-AUHD-T
• In-Wall HDMI HDBaseT 4K Transmitter - AC-CXWP-HDMO-T
• In-Wall USB-C & HDMI HDBaseT 4K Transmitter - AC-CXWP-USBC-T
• In-Wall Mini DisplayPort & HDMI HDBaseT 4K Transmitter - AC-CXWP-MDP-T
• In-Wall VGA & HDMI HDBaseT 4K Transmitter - AC-CXWP-VGA-T

Step 3 - Select the Backbone (Switcher)
The backbone of every conference room needs to able to take in 4K video and multi-channel audio and direct them to the correct displays and audio systems completely independent of each other. To do this, ConferX has developed a wide range of choices for your next installation, each of which is able to handle the newest resolutions and audio codec’s being output from the latest computers and phones available.

• Two Input HDMI/HDBaseT Switch and Amplifier - AC-CX100-RAMP
• Four Input HDMI/HDBaseT Matrix Switch - AC-CX42-AUHD
• Six Input HDMI/HDBaseT Matrix Switch - AC-CX62-AUHD
• Eight Input HDMI/HDBaseT Matrix Switch - AC-CX84-AUHD

Step 4 - Choose the Receivers
Your receiver choices depend on how far you need to separate your backbone from the display, for short distances the 40 meter receiver will distribute your 4K signal just fine, but for ultra long runs you may need to go with the 100 meter option. Installing speakers in the room? Go with the AC-CX100-RAMP, even though it can be used as the backbone for a conference room, at it’s low price point you are able to use it as your receiver. This will allow you to connect speakers directly to the AC-CX100-RAMP and distribute amplified audio.​

• 70 Meter HDBaseT 4K Receiver
• 100 Meter HDBaseT 4K Receiver
• 100 Meter HDBaseT 4K Receiver and Audio Amplifier

Single Zone Perfect Package
Still not sure what to get? Don’t worry, this package will ensure you will be set up for an excellent, easy to use conference room or classroom.

• (X1)AC-CXWP-USBC-T
• (X1) AC-CXWP-MDP-T
• (X1) AC-CX62-AUHD
• (X2) AC-CX100-RAMP

Mira Connect from AVEO Systems Joins Partners with AVPro to Bring More Control Options to Integrators. ​

Mira Connect, the easy-to-configure and easy-to-use AV control system, now supports AVPro Edge video switchers. Mira Connect makes it easy for users to select video inputs and change sources to one or more displays or other devices, as well as control other conferencing equipment in the room, including Zoom Rooms video conferencing equipment, DSP audio systems, displays, and more.

With Mira Connect’s remote management capability, you’ll be able to control your AVPro Edge video switcher and the rest of the equipment in your room from your browser or mobile device.

To use outputs from an AVPro video switcher, add a display and enable an input on the display (HDMI 1 on an LG display, in this example).
Select ‘Use Sources Connected to Other Equipment…’. Select the AVPro Edge video switcher and then choose the desired output (Out 1 in this example) from the AVPro Edge video switcher that is connected to the display’s input.

Once the selections are made within Mira Portal, the display menus are immediately created on the associated Mira Connect panel. Users can readily and easily select which video input on the AVPro Edge video switcher to view on their display.
Below is an example of the Mira Connect user interface using two displays, each one using a different output from the AVPro Edge video switcher.

For more detailed instructions on controlling your AVPro video switcher with Mira Connect, see Aveo Systems’ AVPro Edge integration guide.

For information about Mira Connect, see the website and resource page. Mira Connect training videos show how to add different types of equipment, configure advanced settings, and customize the branding with a background image, colors, and logo.
