HDMI capture box
DarkCrystal 750
(Model name:
CD750)

Box for capturing the HDMI output from a laptop
computer or camera and importing into a Pod via USB
3.0.

computer or camera on the Pod display.
USB mouse
Number of
Pods
Not required for operation if using a touch panel
device, but a mouse is required for system
maintenance.
USB keyboard
Maintenance
requirement
One USB keyboard is recommended for maintenance
use.
A software keyboard can be used when it is necessary
to input characters while using the unit.
Wireless LAN access
point
1
One access point can be used in a small-scale
configuration.
Network bandwidth is discussed in a later section.
Connect to wireless LAN compatible user devices
used for remote control of the main unit and
mirroring (transfer of screen image).
Each user device can operate using a fixed IP
address, but an access point that supports a DHCP
server function is recommended for more
streamlined operation.
Layer 2 switch
1
One access point can be used in a small-scale
configuration.
Network bandwidth is discussed in a later section.
Configuration with instructor and participants on separate networks
In “Basic configuration of proposed application” (page 18), both the instructor and participants
used the same network segment, which allows the participants to mirror devices to the main
unit and perform other functions on the main unit, not just the Pods.
If this is not required, the access control function of Vision Exchange can be used on the same
network segment, or the main unit can be configured to limit the number of devices that can
connect to the main unit for mirroring to prevent access by participants as described earlier.
Alternatively, the network for instructor and network for participants can be separate.
The configuration is shown below.
