4.8 Audio connection
About audio
The ClickShare Button captures the audio o utput of the user ’s laptop and sends it to the Base U nit together with the video signal.
The B ase Unit will then mix the audio signals from all Buttons that are sharing their content. T he mixed audio will be outp ut at line
levels from the m ini jack so cket (3.5mm) (green connector on the back of the Base unit) o r via the DisplayPort connector depending
on the selection in the Web interface..
It is up to the us er to decide whether or not to send the audio signal together with the video signal. The user can decide this by
using the same tools as he would to control the laptop’s speakers or a headphone: the audio c ontrols of the ope rating system (eg for
Windows: Control Panel > Sounds and audio dev ices) or the physical buttons on the keyboard of their laptop (mute/unmute, lower
volume, higher volum e).
There will be synchronization between the audio and video signal.
