The Concept
The Webcam and USB microphone (D2) are connected to the Mac Mini computer(U3) through a USB HUB
(Taurus UCX). Zoom running on the computer sends video and embedded audio signal to the Taurus HDMI
input (I3).
The switcher forwards analog audio to the active speakers and digital video to the HDMI display.
