MediaPort
®
300 • Setup Guide
The MediaPort 300 is an HDMI and audio to USB scaling bridge that interfaces between pro AV
equipment and computer-based video conferencing and recording software. Incoming HDMI video is scaled and output via USB to a
host computer. Bi-directional audio is supported over the USB bus, including one stereo pair from the PC for application playback and
far-end communication audio, and one stereo pair to the PC for near-end local audio to be sent to the far end. Setup and control are
available via a front panel USB-C Configuration port and a rear panel Ethernet port. Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands and the
Windows
®
-based Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS) simplify initial configuration and real-time control. The 1-inch (2.54 cm)
high, half rack wide, 6 inches (15.24 cm) deep enclosure can be optionally mounted to a rack shelf, or under or through furniture.
