VINX-1x0-HDMI Extenders – User's Manual 33
4.4. USB Interface
USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 data transmission operates between an Encoder and a certain Decoder device. Connect the
host device (e.g. a computer) to the Encoder and the USB devices to the Decoder. Supported USB devices:
▪ USB HID devices: keyboard, mouse, presenter.
▪ Mass storage devices:
ATTENTION! The USB ports are not recommended for time-sensitive applications (e.g. webcam).
The transmission works in Unicast and Multicast mode as well, but in latter case, the desired Decoder has
to be selected by any of the following ways:
▪ Pressing the Mode button on the front panel for less, than three seconds (the connected display device
will show Starting USB, the other Sinks will show Stopping USB on the screen),
▪ Pressing the Acquire USB connection button in the Advanced tab on the built-in web page (see the USB
Settings (Multicast Mode) section), or
▪
The USB devices connected to the other Decoders will be still powered but the data transmission is
suspended.
ATTENTION! USB 1.1 ports can be used for the stream changing, see the Keyboard Shortcuts section.
ATTENTION! The active Decoder works like an extended USB hub connected to a computer. Pay attention
to the storage device to remove safely before unplugging it or interrupting during a disc operation.
INFO: The USB transmission is automatically enabled between the Encoder and the Decoder in Unicast
mode.
