MediaPort 300 USB Enumeration 

The host PC or Mac detects the MediaPort 300 and installs generic USB UVC (universal video codec) and 
UAC (universal audio codec) drivers, a process known as “enumerating”.

Speaker Pop-up Menu

By default the MediaPort 300 enumerates as a generic webcam plus a non-echo cancelling speakerphone.  
Via Extron PCS or SIS command the MediaPort can alternatively be configured to enumerate as a 
speakerphone with echo cancellation (if using an external digital Signal Processor [DSP]), or can be 
configured to enumerate as only a video or only an audio device.  
Configure Windows for the MediaPort 300 as follows:

1. 

Connect a USB-C cable from the MediaPort 300 rear panel USB-C port to a USB port on a Windows 
PC. The required drivers install automatically. A message at the PC notifies you when driver 
installation is complete.
