Network Guide
TeamConnect Bar
1. Introduction
This document is intended for system integrators and room planners and serves as a planning guide
for the network integration of the TeamConnect Bar (TC Bar) in a room.
The network guide contains recommendations for the optimal operation of the TC Bar, which is op-
erated in particular with extended or routed Sennheiser devices in a networked environment (e.g.
TeamConnect Ceiling Medium (TCC M)).
Furthermore, recommendations for setting up a Dante network are described in order to enable
smooth use of the TC Bar via Dante.
2. Requirements
2.1. Operating System
The TC Bar was designed for indoor use and is operated with network-capable PC or Mac devices.
The following system requirements apply for operation:
• Windows: 10 or later
• mac OS: 13 or later
• Android: 11 or later
• Installed DisplayLink® driver on used operating system
2.2. DisplayLink®
With DisplayLink®, you can quickly and easily connect multiple monitors to your PC via a simple
USB-C® connection. DisplayLink® technology is integrated into the TC Bar and does not require an
additional HDMI® cable from your PC or Mac to the TV screen.
f Check that the minimum version of the DisplayLink® driver is present on all user PCs / Macs
involved to be able to use the Plug & Play functionality for screen sharing.
f Mac devices may not have a DisplayLink® driver installed by default as Apple is a closed system.
In this case, it is necessary to install the minimum DisplayLink® driver version as indicated
below.

2.3. Network
When it comes to bandwidth requirements for high-quality audio and video conferencing, there are
a number of factors that can affect the input and output of both audio and video. An inadequate or
interrupted Internet connection is reflected, for example, in a disrupted image or sound or in an in-
correctly synchronized rendering of both formats.
Bandwidth and Speed
The Internet speed required for video conferencing should be as high as possible to ensure a smooth
conferencing experience. As a rule, the minimum bandwidth for transmitting and receiving video is
approximately the following:
• HD (1280 × 720): 2 Mbit/s
• Full-HD (1920 × 1080): 4 Mbit/s
• QHD (2560 × 1440): 6 Mbit/s
• 4K UHD (3840 × 2160): 10 Mbit/s
