About this Guide

The MediaPort 200 User Guide describes the Extron MediaPort 200 HDMI and Audio to USB Scaling Bridge and provides instructions for experienced installers to install, configure, and operate it.

This guide contains two different work flows that provide unique instructions and information, one for each mode of operation for the MediaPort 200. These modes are Standalone MediaPort 200 and Mediaport 200 with external DSP with AEC (see

Theory of Operation on page 7). While much of the information is universally

applicable, pages that contain information unique to a specific audio mode are marked with Standalone MediaPort 200 or MediaPort 200 with External DSP with AEC on the right margin on the side of the page.

In this guide, the terms “MediaPort 200” and “MediaPort,” are used interchangeably to refer to this product. The terms “external DSP matrix processor, “external DSP Processor,” and “DSP” are also used interchangeably.

About the MediaPort 200

The MediaPort 200 is an HDMI and audio to USB scaling bridge that interfaces between professional audiovisual equipment and computer-based conferencing software to facilitate video conferencing with soft codecs. Incoming HDMI video at multiple resolutions is scaled and output via USB to a computer. Other features include Auto Memory, Auto-Image, and internal test patterns.

Audio DSP allows for incoming audio signals, both digital (embedded HDMI and USB playback) and analog (mic/line) to be manipulated and embedded on the USB output.

Setup and control are provided via Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS), front panel buttons, an LCD screen, and SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands. The MediaPort can be configured and controlled by a host PC running the Windows-based PCS configuration software via the USB Config and Ethernet ports, while SIS commands can be issued via the RS-232, USB Config, and Ethernet ports.

The 1U high, half rack wide, 9.5 inches (24.1cm) deep enclosure can be placed on or underneath furniture near table microphones and line level sources, or may be rack mounted. For information on mounting options and UL rack mounting guidelines see

Mounting on page 156.

MediaPort 200 • Introduction 1

Features

• Integrates pro AV sources or systems into software codec applications – Sends

audio and video signals from a presentation source or switcher to a computer, for integration with software and cloud-based communication platforms.

• Inputs –

• One HDMI with buffered loop-through

• One stereo balanced/unbalanced audio input on captive screw

• One mic or line balanced/unbalanced audio input on captive screw

• One USB 2.0 four-channel audio input with stereo playback and stereo

communications

• Outputs –

• One USB 2.0 for streaming video and two-channel audio output

• One stereo balanced/unbalanced audio output on captive screw

• Balanced/unbalanced mono AEC reference and auxiliary audio mono outputs on

captive screw

• USB 2.0 device connection uses generic USB drivers for universal

compatibility– The MediaPort 200 incorporates industry standard UVC - USB Video Class and UAC - USB Audio Class drivers, providing universal compatibility with Windows®, Mac OS®, Linux and other operating systems.

• Video scaling provides USB output from 320x180 to 1080p/24 to match

common software codec requirements – Ensures optimal quality of camera or computer video content for far-end conferencing.

• Scaled USB streaming video output with MJPEG encoding.

• Integrated audio DSP – Provides audio mixing and signal processing capabilities,

including mixing and routing for 4x2 audio. The DSP is optimized for integration with mic and program audio sources as well as software codecs, hardware codecs, external DSP, and sound reinforcement.

• AEC reference output – This output provides far-end audio to an external

AEC-equipped DSP. This audio is used by the external DSP as a reference signal for AEC-acoustic echo cancellation processing, to ensure echo-free conferencing for far-end participants.

• HDCP-compliant HDMI input and loop-through – Provides an output signal for local

display, an AV system, or a hardware codec, enabling the content to be monitored or shared without the need for a separate distribution amplifier. Both the HDMI input and loop-through are HDCP compliant.

• HDMI audio de-embedding – Embedded HDMI two-channel PCM audio can be

extracted to the integrated DSP for processing and mixing.

• USB 4x2 audio interface – The USB connection provides a 4x2 channel audio

interface with a computer, similar to a standard USB sound card with send and return audio capability. This allows the MediaPort 200 to send a two-channel audio source mix to the personal computer, and the computer to deliver its program audio plus two-channel communication audio from the soft codec’s far-end to the MediaPort 200.

• Supports popular software communications platforms including Microsoft®

Lync®/ Skype® for Business, Adobe® Connect™, and Cisco® WebEx®.

• Accepts HDMI computer and video resolutions up to 1080p/60 and 1920x1200

MediaPort 200 • Introduction 2

• High performance deinterlacing for signals up to 1080i – Features highly accurate

deinterlacing for 480i/576i/1080i signals. This ensures absolute detail and fidelity in the reconstructed progressive video frames, including 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown for interlaced signals originating from film content.

• Mic/line input with 48 volt phantom power – A mic or line level audio source can

be mixed with program audio. Selectable 48 volt phantom power allows the use of condenser microphones.

• Front panel LED indicators for HDMI and USB signal status – Provides visual

feedback for HDMI input and loop-through signal presence, HDCP status, plus USB signal presence for the host computer, video send, audio send, and audio return.

• Logo image display – The MediaPort 200 can be set to automatically display a

user-supplied image file whenever no signal is present at the HDMI input.

• Aspect ratio control – The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by

selecting a FILL mode or a FOLLOW mode.

• Auto Input Memory – When activated, the unit automatically stores size, position, and

picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.

• Internal video test patterns and pink noise generator for calibration and setup–

The MediaPort 200 offers several video test patterns to facilitate proper system setup and calibration, and can provide an active output when an input video source is not available. The pink noise generator is selectable for all audio outputs, including USB audio to the computer, and aids in optimizing audio output signals.

• Picture controls for brightness, contrast, horizontal and vertical positioning,

and sizing.

• User-selectable HDCP authorization – Allows the unit to appear HDCP compliant

or non-HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non-HDCP mode.

• HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content is

sent to a non-compliant destination – A full-screen green signal is sent when HDCP-encrypted content is routed to the USB output, or to a non-HDCP compliant display on the HDMI loop output, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed.

• EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between

connected devices – EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs content for display.

• Auto-Image™ setup – When activated, the unit automatically optimizes the image

by analyzing and adjusting to the video input signal. This can save time and effort in settings up a newly connected source, particularly in presentation environments where different guest presenter laptops with various output resolutions will be connected.

• User image presets – 16 memory presets are available to store and recall optimized

image settings.

• Parametric EQ, filters, and compression on all inputs – Equalization and filters are

available to fine-tune acoustic characteristics of microphones and program sources. Compression is available to compensate for source signals with widely varying or unpredictable signal levels.

MediaPort 200 • Introduction 3

• Parametric EQ, filters, and limiter on USB and line outputs – The MediaPort 200

provides nine-band equalization for room tuning. It also detects actual onset of clipping by comparing input and output waveforms. Gain is automatically reduced without audible artifacts to protect the audio system from clipping distortion.

• Microphone and USB audio ducking – Automatically lowers program audio volume

when a microphone or far-end USB audio signal is detected, eliminating the need for a separate audio ducking processor.

• 24-bit/48 kHz analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog audio converters – High

performance converters preserve audio signal integrity for input and output signal conversion.

• Fixed, low latency DSP processing – Input to output latency is fixed within the

MediaPort 200, regardless of the number of active channels or processes, maintaining audio and video synchronization.

• User-definable DSP audio presets allow quick recall of commonly used

configurations – Up to 16 user presets can be created using the Extron PCS software application. Once created, presets can easily be recalled from the PCS software or a control system.

• Mute and gain audio group masters – The MediaPort 200 provides pre-configured

group masters for consolidated mute and gain, simplifying real-time system control.

• Soft limits provide optimal master volume adjustment range – When using

external volume control, the master volume range can be regulated with soft limits to maintain optimal minimum and maximum levels. This prevents operators from working with digital I/O, RS-232, or Ethernet control from exceeding pre-defined limits.

• Live DSP configuration – Allows live parameter adjustments while previewing or

metering them in real-time. This avoids the need to compile and upload a configuration file to the device.

• Front panel controls with LCD display – Allows convenient access to configuration

and status of the MediaPort 200.

• Front panel USB configuration port – Enables easy configuration without having to

access the rear panel.

• Two digital input and two digital output control ports – Allow external triggering

such as a mic activation and muting, as well as illuminating mic status LEDs. Digital inputs can also be used for recalling DSP presets and adjusting volume via contact closure.

• +12 VDC, 100 mA remote power – Provides remote power for various applications,

such as LED illumination for mic status and mute.

• Front panel security lockout – Locks out all front panel functions; all functions,

however, are available through Ethernet, USB, and RS-232 control.

• RS-232 control port – Enables the use of serial commands for integration into a

control system. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

• Built-in Web pages – Enables the use of a standard browser for monitoring or updates

over an intuitive Web interface.

• Easy setup and commissioning with Extron PCS - Product Configuration

Software – Conveniently configure multiple products using a single software application. The software also allows configuration files to be downloaded for archiving or configuring multiple systems.

MediaPort 200 • Introduction 4

USB Video

Audio Functions

• Compact 1U, half rack width metal enclosure – The half rack width enclosure is

designed for flexible mounting using a wide variety of Extron furniture and rack mounting kits available separately. Passive convection cooling ensures silent operation.

• Includes LockIt® HDMI cable lacing bracket.

• Highly reliable, energy-efficient internal universal power supply – The

100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.

When the host PC is connected to the MediaPort’s rear panel USB B port, the host PC requests a list of supported resolutions and refresh rates, which are supplied by the MediaPort 200. When a Universal Communications (UC) application on the host PC is launched, it requests the desired video resolution in real time from the MediaPort 200 based on host PC hardware usage, available network bandwidth, and far-end UC application window size.

This means that output resolution is determined by the UC application. It is not possible to force the MediaPort to output a specific resolution.

The MediaPort processes audio outside of the computer via a single USB connector, enabling it to be used in a PC-based, software video conference without having to take an analog output from the built-in sound card of the computer.

The audio functions of the MediaPort 200 are unique depending on whether the device is operating as a standalone device or in conjunction with an external DSP processor with AEC (see Setting Audio Modes on page 17).

MediaPort 200 • Introduction 6

Theory of Operation

This section contains a discussion on how the MediaPort 200 can be implemented, including its two audio modes. Additionally, this section covers the signal flow within the MediaPort 200 in these two modes. The following topics are discussed:

• MediaPort 200 Operational Modes

• Speakerphones and AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation)

• Standalone Mode

• External DSP with AEC Mode

• MediaPort 200 Signal Flow

• Setting Audio Modes

MediaPort 200 Operational Modes

The MediaPort works in conjunction with a computer “soft-conferencing” application to create a hands-free conferencing environment, and is recognized by the host computer as either a speakerphone or an echo cancelling speakerphone, depending on which audio mode is enabled. The MediaPort connects to a sound system and computer to bring the far end audio and video into the local room, as well as program audio from the computer or one of the MediaPort line-level inputs. The MediaPort accepts a single microphone at the Mic/Line input, or can accept a microphone mix from an external DSP matrix processor. The following MediaPort audio modes are selectable in the Extron Product Configuration software:

• Standalone (no external DSP) – This is the default setting. In this mode, the

computer recognizes the MediaPort as a Speakerphone and applies echo-cancellation in the unified communications software. This mode is intended for use with a single microphone connected to the Mic/Line input.

• External DSP with AEC – In this mode, the computer recognizes the MediaPort as

an Echo Cancelling Speakerphone which is intended to prevent AEC from being applied in the unified communications software. This mode is intended for use when a mic mix from an external DSP matrix processor with AEC (acoustic echo cancellation) is connected to the Mic/Line input.

It is important to select the correct mode before configuring the MediaPort 200 with the host computer. Changing the audio mode causes the MediaPort to reboot, after which the computer recognizes the MediaPort as a different device in the newly established mode (see

Setting Audio Modes on page 17 for more information).

MediaPort 200 • Theory of Operation 7

Speakerphones and AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation)

When a microphone or microphone mix is connected to the MediaPort and the MediaPort is connected to a sound system to amplify audio from the far end of the conference, the MediaPort functions in the same way as a speakerphone. In a conference call, when the far end talker is amplified in the local room, that signal can be picked up by the local microphones and sent back to the far end. That audio is delayed and then heard by the far end talker as an echo of their voice.

This echo is often referred to as “acoustic echo” because it travels through the acoustic space from the sound system to the microphones. A specific type of processing, called “acoustic echo cancellation,” or AEC, is used to cancel the echo signal and prevent it from being sent back to the far end.

Standalone Mode

In the Standalone audio mode, the computer recognizes the MediaPort as a

Speakerphone. In this mode, Speakerphone – MediaPort 200 is chosen as the audio

device in a soft conferencing application such as Skype for Business and in Windows. When a speakerphone is the selected audio device, the host conferencing application uses its built-in AEC to cancel the acoustic echo.

External DSP with AEC Mode

In the External DSP with AEC audio mode, the computer recognizes the MediaPort as an Echo Cancelling Speakerphone. In this mode, Echo Cancelling Speakerphone

– MediaPort 200 is chosen as the audio device in a soft conferencing application such

as Skype for Business and in Windows. When an echo cancelling speakerphone is the selected audio device, the soft conferencing application AEC should be turned off automatically. In this case, an external DSP is connected to the MediaPort Mic/Line input with the AEC applied in the external DSP processor.

MediaPort 200 • Theory of Operation 8

MediaPort 200 Signal Flow

This section provides a more advanced understanding of the MediaPort signal flow. As stated, MediaPort fits into multiple conferencing applications, with little or no additional configuration other than setting proper gain structure and run-time mix level controls.

• Set to Stereo Mode (default, dual mono available). Line input L is routed to Line

output L; Line input R is routed to Line output R. The following line inputs are routed to Line output L/R:

• USB Playback

• HDMI In

• Line In

• USB Communications – There is an option to mute this signal to the line output

• Includes both line input signals and USB communications signal (unless USB

communications is muted), which is useful when connected to an external DSP.

NOTE: Mic/Line input is not routed to Line Out.

•

AEC Ref Out — Only the USB Communications signal, summed to mono, is routed to the Ref output.

•

Aux Out — Only the Mic/Line Input signal is routed to the Aux output.

A master volume is a control that adjusts multiple sub-controls, and is used to set a listening level that is appropriate for the end-user. In figure 7 below, master volume controls are color-coded to associate the master control with the sub-controls that are affected and can be found in the Mix tab of the Extron Product Configuration Software (see Mix Tab on page 56). In this case, all of the sub-controls are points in the mix matrix, or “mix-points.” Master Volume controls shown are as follows:

Room Volume (Near End)

This master volume control is shown in red (see figure 7 on the previous page) and the mix-points it controls are also shown in red. This control is used to set the master volume or “listening level” in the local, or “near” room.

When the MediaPort is used with an external DSP with AEC, the Line output is no longer connected to a sound reinforcement system, but is instead connected to the DSP. In this case, volume control is handled in the DSP. Since the Room Volume control in the MediaPort is no longer be used for room volume, the Room Volume control should be set to the 0 dB setting, or unity gain, to achieve the best signal to noise ratio between the MediaPort and the DSP.

Figure 8 A and B below shows the signal routing scheme for when the USB communications audio signal is sent to the Line output and Ref output, as well as when it is just sent to the Ref output.

When the Mix USB Communications in the box in the Near End panel of the Mix tab is checked, USB communications audio is only sent to the Ref output and the Line output. This setting is used when the Line output is connected to a sound system, and not to a DSP.

When the Mix USB Communications box is unchecked, USB communications is not routed to the Line output, and is sent only to the Ref output. This setting is used when the Line output is connected to a DSP, and not to a sound system. This is so that program audio and USB communications audio can be managed separately in the DSP. Alternatively, this setting can also be used to send program and USB Communications audio to separate sound systems.

Typically, mic audio level is set higher than program audio. It is recommended that the Mic level control be set to 0 dB, or unity gain, which is the optimal level sent to the USB Out and received by the computer. Program volume is then set relative to the mic volume, providing a good listening level such that the far end does not need to make an adjustment to their volume control to compensate for discrepancies between mic and program volume levels.

NOTE: The ducker can be used so that when the microphone (a talker) and program

material are active simultaneously, speech takes precedence over program so that speech can remain intelligible (see Ducking on page 55 for more information).

MediaPort 200 • Theory of Operation 15

AEC Ref and Aux Outputs

USB COMMUNICATIONS

These two outputs provide special routing capabilities that make it easy to use the MediaPort 200 with an external DSP with AEC and/or a hardware video conferencing device (video codec). The Ref output carries the only far end USB communications audio, while the Aux output carries only the audio signal from the MediaPort Mic/Line input.

Figure 10 below highlights the routing to these two outputs. There are no master controls for these signal paths. Level is set on the input gain controls and the output attenuation controls.

Set the input gain for optimal signal levels in the Input tab in PCS (see Input Tab on page 51). Settings for Ref and Aux outputs attenuation controls may remain at 0 dB for unity gain in most cases. Adjust the output controls if the device connected to these outputs requires a lower signal level, though it is recommended to adjust the input level of the connected device in this case.

Setting Audio Modes

Before beginning the setup and configuration of the MediaPort 200, it is important that the device be set in the desired audio mode. Depending on which audio mode is selected (Standalone or External DSP with AEC), Windows sees the MediaPort in each mode as a different device and does not retain settings made in one mode to another.

NOTE: Beginning configuration of the MediaPort 200 before setting the desired audio

mode requires the configuration process to be repeated, as when the audio mode is changed, Windows views the MediaPort as a different device.

Standalone Mode

In Standalone audio mode, Windows enumerates the MediaPort 200 as a Speakerphone, which then signals to the Unified Communications (UC) application that AEC needs to be applied at the UC application level in the signal chain. See General Settings Tab on page 59 for information on how to select audio modes.

External DSP with AEC Mode

In External DSP with AEC mode, Windows enumerates the MediaPort 200 as an Echo

Cancelling Speakerphone, which then signals to the UC application that AEC is applied

at the external DSP level in the signal chain. See General Settings Tab on page 59 for information on how to select audio modes.

NOTES: If the MediaPort 200 is not set in the correct audio mode, two major issues can

occur:

• A MediaPort set in Standalone audio mode, while an external DSP with AEC is in

• A MediaPort set in External DSP with AEC audio mode while no external DSP with

use, produces two echo cancelling stages potentially causing adverse audio effects.

AEC is connected, may prevent an echo cancelling stage from being introduced at the UC application level, producing unwanted acoustic echo.

ATTENTION:

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal

length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If the exposed portion is longer, the wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If the exposed wires are shorter, they can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de

les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.

• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become

loose over time.

• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien ﬁxés

dans les terminaisons des <connecteurs> à vis captives et pourraient sortir.

• For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. Do not

Program Mix Panel — Contains level and mute control for USB Playback, HDMI, and

Line In audio signal for up to 100 dB of attenuation or up to 12 dB of gain to be sent

to local sound reinforcement and the far end. Faders or text fields can be used to set proper mix level. Mute buttons are also available for each channel. The mix created in this panel is then sent to the Near End panel as well as to the Program fader of the Mix

to Far End panel.

From Far End Panel — Contains level and mute control for the USBCommunications

signal from the far end for up to 100 dB of attenuation or up to 12 dB of gain to be sent to local sound reinforcement. The fader or text field can be used to set proper mix level. A Mute button is available for the channel.

Near End Panel— Contains controls to attenuate or mute the near end room volume

which acts as a master attenuation for USB Playback, HDMI, Line In and USB

Communications (if Mix USB Communications is selected) signals before being sent

to the Output tab. The fader or text field can be used to set desired attenuation. A Mute button is available for the channel. Line output signal can be configured as stereo or dual mono.

Mix to Far End Panel — The Mic fader provides attenuation and mute control for

the microphone audio being sent to the far end while the Program fader provides attenuation and mute control for the mix of USB Playback, HDMI, and Line In audio being sent to the far end. The faders or text fields can be used to set desired attenuation. A Mute button is available for both channels. This audio can be configured as stereo or dual mono.

Mix USB Communications Checkbox —When this box is checked (default), USB

communications audio is routed to the rear panel analog Line output and Ref output. If unchecked, USB communications is only routed to the Ref output.

Performing Auto-Image

When Auto-Image is performed, the MediaPort 200 attempts to size and position the image to fill the display screen (Fill mode) or to use the native aspect ratio of the input (Follow mode). A one-time Auto-Image can be performed on the current input using SIS commands or the LCD menus.

Only the horizontal and vertical positioning and the horizontal and vertical size are adjusted by the Auto-Image. All other controls are left unchanged.

• If the aspect ratio has been set to Fill, the H and V position returns to 0,0, and the H

and V Size is set to match the current output rate.

• If the aspect ratio has been set to Follow, the H and V position and size are set to

maintain the native aspect ratio of the input rate with respect to the current output resolution.

Auto-Image is also useful for centering and sizing an image that has been adjusted out of default settings.

Auto-Image can be performed by the following methods:

• LCD Menus

1. Press the front panel Menu button on the front panel once to display the Quick

Setup menu.

2. Press the Next button once to display Auto-Image.

3. Rotate either Adjust knob to select <Yes>.

4. Press Next. The LCD screen displays Press Next to Start Auto-Image.

5. Press Next again. When the Auto-Image process is finished, the LCD screen

displays Auto-Image Complete.

After approximately 2 seconds, the screen displays the next menu (HDMI Input

EDID). After another 30 seconds, the default cycle is displayed.

• SIS commands — Enter A, using a communication tool such as Extron DataViewer

(see Auto-Image on page 122 for more information).

Input Presets Menu

Input (user image) presets save the video settings for the current input. Each input has 16 available user image presets which can save settings or recall using this menu or an SIS command (see Input Preset Name on page 126). The following settings are saved in a user image preset:

• Preset name • Vertical position

• Contrast • Horizontal size

• Brightness • Vertical size

• Horizontal position

Saved user image presets can be recalled to be applied to the current input.

to a different one. Example: If the current output resolution is 640x480 and a 720p input is

applied, size and center a “letterbox” image for a 16:9 input resolution and save it to an user image preset. Subsequently, if a 1080p resolution is applied to the unit, the letterbox preset that was saved at 720p can be recalled with the new 1080p input resolution.

MediaPort 200 • Front Panel Operation 67

Picture Control Menu

Adjusting the image size and position alters the image within the output raster. Image adjustments are relative to the top left corner of the output raster.

The Picture Control menu positions an image (up to 1920x1080) within a virtual pixel space with a horizontal range of -1920 to 1920, and a vertical range of -1080 to 1080. This allows positioning of the image so that a portion of it is displayed within the constraints of the output raster (output resolution), or off the screen entirely.

NOTES:

• The available range of the image position depends on the horizontal and vertical

USB output resolution. The image can be shifted off screen only by the amount of the horizontal and vertical streaming resolution.

• Size and position values must be divisible by 8 (horizontal) or 2 (vertical).

Figure 68 below shows the line and pixel coordinates at which the image can be positioned. In this chart:

Position screens) (see Picture Control Menu on page 68).

MediaPort 200 • Front Panel Operation 70

• In follow mode, each input rate is displayed with its native aspect ratio (4:3, 5:4,

15:9, 16:9, 16:10) with the correct letterbox or pillar box settings, visible in the Size and Position screens of the Picture Controls menu.

For specific input or image raster to fill the screen in follow mode, manually set the

Position item on the Picture Controls menu to 0,0 and set the Size to match

the current output rate X,Y.

NOTE: In follow mode, the MediaPort calculates the aspect ratio at the point

the signal is applied. If the image size or position is changed via the Picture

Control menu, the aspect ratio of the image may no longer match the native

aspect ratio of the input signal. To resize and re-center the image, perform an Auto-Image (see Performing Auto-Image on page 66).

Custom EDIDs

Add custom EDIDs or save the EDID of the HDMI loop output using SIS commands (see the

HDMI Input EDID on page 122) or the PCS control software (see the MediaPort 200 Help

file). These custom EDIDs are then added to the LCD menu.

HDCP Authorized

The MediaPort 200 accepts HDCP compliant signals and outputs them through the HDMI loop out connection only.

NOTE: The USB output cannot display HDCP encrypted material under any

circumstances. It displays a green or black (user-selectable) screen when an HDCP encrypted signal is detected.

The HDCP Authorized function can disable HDCP communication by causing the MediaPort input to report to a source device as a non-authorized HDCP sink (display). This is useful with devices such as Mac computers, iPhones, iPads, and some Windows 7 sources that always encrypt their output if the downstream sink is HDCP-capable. If HDCP signals are not allowed on an input, most content from these types of sources can be passed as a non-encrypted signal to the USB output.

By disabling HDCP Authorized on the MediaPort HDMI input, the source does not encrypt its output and non-HDCP protected content can be viewed from the MediaPort video USB output.

This includes the correct AVI InfoFrame data for the current video output (colorspace, quantization, and so on). Audio signals and audio InfoFrame pass through unaltered.

• The default setting, Auto, parses the EDID of the connected device and sets

the correct digital format. The Auto setting outputs DVI to a DVI sink and HDMI RGB 444 Full to any HDMI sink.

• HDCP Note — Provides a means of determining if HDCP content restrictions are

preventing a video signal from passing. Because the USB output cannot display HDCP encrypted content, the MediaPort notifies if protected content is detected on the input. The display shows either of the following:

• If HDCP Note is Enabled: A green screen with HDCP Content in a text box is

displayed on the output when the connected device is not HDCP compliant and an HDCP input is selected.

NOTES:

• The HDCP Content message appears only on a USB output. The HDMI

loop output displays only a green screen.

• The HDCP Content message does not appear if test patterns are enabled.

• The green screen can be displayed only when Enabled is selected for

HDCP Authorized.

• If HDCP Note is disabled: The output mutes to black when the connected device

is not HDCP compliant and an HDCP authorized input with protected content is selected.

Audio Configuration Menu

The Audio Configuration menu enables audio that is processed through the MediaPort200 to be adjusted. The volume level of the microphone and program audio that is sent to the far end, and of the far end and program audio as heard locally, can be adjusted.

Resetting

Resetting the unit causes various settings to revert to factory defaults. Three methods of resetting the MediaPort 200 are available:

• Reset Button — There are three reset modes (numbered 1, 4, and 5 for the sake

of comparison with Extron IP Link products) that are available by pressing the Reset button on the rear panel. This button is recessed, so a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or small screwdriver (such as the provided Extron Tweeker) must be used to press it the appropriate number of times. The Reset Modes Summary table on the next page provides an explanation of each reset mode.

• Front Panel Menus — To reset the MediaPort to its factory settings but retain the

current firmware version, press the front panel buttons as follows:

1. Press Menu repeatedly until the Advanced Configuration menu is displayed on

the LCD screen.

2. Press the Next button until Factory Reset is displayed.

3. Rotate either Adjust knob to display <Yes> or <No>.

4. Press Next. The LCD screen displays Press Next for Factory Reset.

5. Press Next again to start the reset.

• While the reset is in process, the screen displays Factory Reset Please Wait.

Do not use any front panel buttons or knobs until the reset is done.

• When the reset is complete, Extron MediaPort 200 is displayed for

30 seconds, followed by the default cycle.

• SIS Commands — Five types of reset are available via SIS commands (see Reset on

page 132):

• Erase all user EDID files from flash memory.

• Reset all device settings to factory defaults except IP and user files (items that are

reset are device-dependent).

• Perform absolute reset but retain IP settings.

• Reset all device settings to factory defaults but retain current firmware version.

• Reset only IP settings to factory defaults.

MediaPort 200 • Front Panel Operation 81

No Signal Indicator (USB Output)

A no-signal indicator screen is displayed on the USB output when there is no input signal from the unit. By default, this consists of an Extron logo on a blue background. Other options can be selected via the PCS configuration software: an all black screen, a blue field with the message MediaPort 200 No Signal, or custom logo (.png or .jpg file) on a black background (see the MediaPort 200 Help file for information on selecting a no signal notification).

The indicator screen turns off when an input signal is detected.

NOTE: The no signal indicator is displayed only on the USB output.

Video Presets

A video preset is a set of video input parameters that are saved either manually or automatically by the MediaPort as a file in memory. Saved presets can be recalled and their settings implemented at any time. A preset saves time by enabling a group of video settings to be applied to the MediaPort at one time. Two types of video presets are available: Auto Memories and user image presets.

Auto Memories

The MediaPort has 32 memory locations in which the current input configuration and picture control values are automatically stored, when Auto Memory is enabled. An Auto Memory preset is recalled when an identical input resolution and rate is applied to the input.

Each Auto Memory preset is stored with a time stamp that is incremented each time its stored rate is detected. If all Auto Memory slots are occupied and a new rate is applied, the Auto Memory with the oldest time stamp is overwritten.

Auto Memories can be enabled by using the LCD menus (see Input Configuration Menu on page 70) or SIS commands (see Auto Memories on page 126). An Auto Memory stores the following video information:

• Contrast • Output resolution at the time the memory was

• Brightness • Overscan setting at the time the memory was

• Horizontal image position • Aspect ratio setting at the time the memory was

• Vertical image position • Input configuration settings

• Horizontal size (width) • Picture control settings

• Vertical size (height)

Standalone MediaPort 200 Application Setup

The MediaPort 200 can integrate seamlessly into a variety of applications. This section contains instructions on how to set up the MediaPort 200 for the following application:

• Application 1 — Standalone MediaPort 200

This application is one of many configurations for the Standalone MediaPort and was designed to give a fundamental understanding of the MediaPort 200 in a common application.

Overview

This section contains a general discussion of MediaPort 200 inputs and outputs and their intended uses when the MediaPort is 200 is used as a standalone device. All of the principles described here are used in the application setup procedure that follows.

NOTE: Ensure the MediaPort 200 is set to Standalone audio mode in PCS before

beginning setup (see General Settings Tab on page 59 for more information about selecting Standalone audio mode).

Video Input and Output

HDMI Input

The HDMI Input can be fed from a camera, a computer, HDMI switcher, or other HDMI source. The HDMI source can be a video conference or document camera without audio. The source can also be a PC or switcher output that includes embedded audio. If the HDMI input includes microphone audio, the HDMI audio should be muted.

HDCP-Compliant HDMI Loop-Out

The HDCP-Compliant Loop-Out can be used as a local monitor output or can be fed into a hardware video codec. If required, adjust the HDCP output settings via PCS (see HDMI

Loop on page 42), the front panel (see Output Configuration Menu on page 73) or

SIS Commands (see HDCP Authorized — Input Reporting as an HDCP Authorized

Device on page 123).

MediaPort 200 • Standalone Application Setup 83

Standalone MediaPort 200

Mic/Line Input

A dynamic or condenser microphone can be connected to the Mic/Line input that serves as the conferencing mic. The Mic/Line input is sent via the USB output to the computer to be sent to the far end. The Mic/Line input is also sent to the Aux output, which can be connected to a sound reinforcement voicelift system if local speech reinforcement is needed.

NOTE: Mic/Line Input signal is not sent to the Analog Line Output of the MediaPort 200.

USB Communications Input

USB communications audio from the far end is mixed with the line inputs and sent to the analog Line output for local sound reinforcement.

Audio Line Inputs

The following MediaPort 200 audio line inputs are typically used for program audio:

• USB Playback — The MediaPort is the computer USB audio playback device.

• Line Input (analog) — The MediaPort accepts balanced or unbalanced line level

signals.

• HDMI — The MediaPort accepts 2-ch PCM audio signals from this digital connection.

These line inputs are mixed to the USB output and sent to the far end and to the Analog Line Output. The Analog Line Output signal path also mixes in the USB communications audio from the far end, while the USB audio output path does not.

USB Playback Input

Line Input (analog)

HDMI Input

The local computer can be used as a program audio source via the USB connection. This PC program audio is independent of the far end USB communication audio sent from the UC application to the MediaPort 200, allowing program audio and far end USB Communication audio to be mixed on separate channels in the PCS software.

NOTE: If using a Web-based soft codec, communications audio is sometimes recognized

as playback audio (see From Far End in Mix Tab on page 56).

Connect an analog program audio source to the Line input. This could be the output of an auxiliary program source such as a CD or DVD player, mobile device, media player, or switcher.

If the device connected to the HDMI input has embedded microphone audio, it is important to mute the audio on the HDMI input. All near end speech audio should come from the microphone connected to the Mic/Line Input.

MediaPort 200 • Standalone Application Setup 84

Standalone MediaPort 200

Audio Line Outputs

Analog Line Output

The Analog Line output connects the MediaPort to a local sound reinforcement system and can be configured to as stereo or dual mono output via PCS (see Output Tab on page 57). Only the line input program audio sources and the far end USB communications audio are mixed to the line output.

NOTE: Mic/Line Input audio is not sent to the analog Line output

USB Line Output

The USB Line Output carries all program and speech audio from the near end through the USB port to the PC to be sent to the far end.

Ref and Aux Outputs

The following outputs are on a shared connector on the MediaPort 200 rear panel:

• The Ref output is designed to be used in conjunction with an external DSP with AEC.

However, the Ref output can be used to send USB communications audio to a separate sound system.

• The Aux output contains only the Mic/Line input signal from the MediaPort 200. This

output allows the Mic/Line input signal to be sent to a voicelift system if local speech reinforcement is needed. Alternatively, the Aux output can send the Mic/Line input signal to a hardware video codec if one is in use.

Figure 77. Application 1 — Standalone MediaPort 200 for Soft Codec Conferencing

To set up Application 1:

1. Connect an HDMI source to the MediaPort HDMI input. Figure 77 above shows an

HDMI video camera as the input.

2. Connect a program audio source to the MediaPort Line input as needed. Figure 77

above shows an iPod as the program audio input.

3. Connect a microphone to the MediaPort Mic/Line input.

4. Connect the MediaPort analog Line output to a sound reinforcement system.

5. Connect a USB cable between the MediaPort rear panel USB type B connector

and a USB type A connector on the PC or Mac computer. Make sure the drivers are configured properly.

6. Configure the MediaPort 200 as a speakerphone device in Windows (see Configuring

Windows for MediaPort 200 on page 27).

7. Set proper gain structure. Follow instructions provided in Gain Structure on the next

page.

MediaPort 200 • Standalone Application Setup 86

Standalone MediaPort 200

Gain Structure

Proper gain structure is essential to achieving optimal performance from the MediaPort 200 and related equipment. Refer to the Extron white paper, Audio Gain Structure for Pro AV

Systems, for detailed information.

NOTE: To view the white paper, an Extron Insider account is required.

Extron Product Control Software (PCS) is used to set gain structure on the MediaPort 200. From the Audio Configuration (1) tab pictured in figure 78 below, each of the tabs (2) controls a different gain stage for each input and output on the MediaPort 200.

Figure 78. Extron PCS Audio Configuration Tabs

Input Tab

Setting proper input gain is fundamental to any audio device, and therefore, the Input tab is placed first in the Audio Config section of PCS. The MediaPort 200 uses digital peak meters, referenced to 0 dBFS, or “full scale.” Ideal input gain allows the level to approach 0 dBFS without going over. Signal beyond the level of 0 dBFS will clip and experience undesirable distortion.

In order to achieve this optimal level without clipping, a strong yet safe target signal level must be established. To derive a dBu equivalent on the MediaPort peak meter referenced to 0 dBFS, the MediaPort max input level of +21 dBu must be considered. Subtracting 17 dB from +21 dBu gives us +4 dBu. Therefore, −17 dBFS on the MediaPort input meters is the approximate equivalent to +4 dBu.

With −17 dBFS as a target, the average audio signal will be −17 dBFS while varying approximately ±10 dB above or below that level. That would put the strongest, or “hottest” signal at about −6 to −8 dBFS. This is a safe level for program or microphone signals. See

Input Tab on page 51 for more information.

Mix Tab

When input gain is properly set, all listening levels can be set and run-time operation can then be performed from the Mix tab. Line inputs and USB communications levels have a range of −100 to +12 dB. While there may be cases where extra gain is needed, it is recommended to avoid going above 0 dB in the Mix tab as this may cause clipping. The Mix tab contains a Room Volume control, which may be the only control that needs adjustment once other controls are properly set (see Mix Tab on page 56 for more information).

MediaPort 200 • Standalone Application Setup 87

Standalone MediaPort 200

Output Tab

On the Output tab, levels are set relative to the destination device. In most cases, the default setting of 0 dB is proper (no adjustment), which is why the Output tab is the last audio control tab in the Audio Config section. If using the available output DSP, see

Output Tab on page 57 for more information.

Adjusting the Output Levels

Since the USB output and the analog Line output contain mixes of different audio signals, it is important here to test the system and monitor these outputs to ensure that the signal level approaches 0 dBFS with enough headroom to avoid clipping. If the meters show clipping, the fader control on the output can be lowered to bring the signal down below 0 dBFS. If clipping occurs at the input and lowering the output fader control does not eliminate the clipping, the input gain must be lowered.

If the output meter shows clipping and there is no clipping occurring at the input, then lowering the output fader control will eliminate the clipping in most cases. Within the MediaPort digital signal path, there is a certain amount of headroom, such that a signal or mix of signals that is too hot at the output can be lowered at the output fader control to eliminate clipping.

If lowering the output fader control prevents clipping at the output meter, but clipping is still audible (and there is no clipping present at the input meters), then levels must be lowered in the Mix tab to eliminate clipping. The Room Volume in the Near End section (and the Mic and Program controls in the Mix to Far End section) are all master controls that include soft limit controls. Setting the soft limit so that the fader cannot go above a level that causes clipping is a method of controlling clipping from the Mix tab (see Mix Tab on page 56). Otherwise, it will be necessary to lower faders in either the Program Mix section, the USB

Communications fader, or both. Check the output meter often to verify that clipping does

not appear on the meter.

Sound Reinforcement System

Connecting to an Amplifier

When the line output is connected to a sound reinforcement system, the amplifier of the sound system must be set to accommodate the output level of the MediaPort. If adjusting the amplifier input sensitivity instead of the MediaPort line output level, the Line output attenuation control set to 0 dB will give the best signal-to-noise results. See Sound Reinforcement System below for additional information.

A typical sound reinforcement system includes a power amplifier and speakers. In most cases, the input sensitivity of an amplifier has a maximum of +4 dBu. The max output of the MediaPort is +21 dBu, so attenuation of the amplifier input sensitivity is recommended. An input sensitivity of −12 to −17 dB on the amplifier should work well, but this may require testing the system and fine-tuning the settings. The target SPL level for the application must also be taken into consideration.

The gain structure article referenced earlier in this section suggests an amplifier input setting of 12 o’clock, which usually falls in the aforementioned range. The 12 o’clock setting is convenient and easily repeatable, making it a recommended best practice.

Setting Mix and Listening Levels using the PCS Software

After setting up the MediaPort 200 inputs for optimal level, adjustments to the MediaPort 200 mix and listening levels are made from the Mix screen in PCS.

PCS Mix Screen

The Mix screen consists of four panels, each of which contains one or more faders. Below each fader is a text field with up and down arrow buttons and a mute button that are associated with it. Settings can be changed in each panel by either dragging the slider button up and down, clicking and holding the incremental spin (arrow) buttons beside the text field, or entering a value in the text field.

To display the Mix screen, click the Audio Config button on the main window, then click the Mix tab on the Audio Configuration screen.

Program Mix Panel — Contains the following controls (fader, text box with arrow

buttons, and Mute button):

• USB Playback

• HDMI

• Line In (analog line input)

These line inputs typically carry program material. In addition to the gain adjustments on the Input screen that set input gain, the controls in the Program Mix panel adjust post-input gain. The program mix that is set in this panel is sent to the Line and USB outputs. Setting the program mix levels at the post-input gain point sends the same mix to both outputs. The mix of line input sources made in the program mix panel is also sent to the far end panel, with the exception that the level-to-far-end program mix does not include far end communications audio from the computer. The room volume master and the mix-to-far-end master faders are independent of each other. Adjusting the room volume does not affect the level sent to the far end, but adjusting the individual program faders affects the mix going to both the room and the far end.

From Far End Panel — Contains the USB Communications controls.

The USB Communications input receives the far end audio signal from the soft codec conference via the USB connection. This audio is then sent to the MediaPort analog line output, so that it can be heard in the near end room through a sound reinforcement system.

Near End Panel — Contains the Room Volume controls for audio sent to the line

output, and for the program mix and USB communications audio in the near end room.

At the bottom of the Near End panel, there is a Mix USB Communications checkbox. When the box is checked (default) the USB communications audio from the far end is routed to the AEC Ref output and the analog Line output. When the box is unchecked, USB communications audio is only routed to the AEC Ref output.

NOTE: The Room Volume and the Mix to Far End master controls are independent of

each other. Adjusting the Room Volume does not affect the level sent to the far end, but adjusting the individual program controls does affect the mix going to both the room and the far end.

Mix to Far End Panel — Contains controls for mic and program levels, which create

the mix that goes to the far end.

Set these levels during a soft conference call, utilizing verbal feedback from individuals located at the far end. The signal level of this audio mix can be viewed using the meters at the bottom of the USB panel on the Output screen (on the PCS main window, click the Audio Config button, then the Output tab.

If the input gain is set up properly, setting levels higher than 0 dB is generally not necessary. Program audio can be set to the same level as mic audio, or slightly lower. If program audio is played at the same time that someone is talking, use ducking to lower the program audio level during speech (see Ducking on page 55). The ducking processor returns the program audio to its original level when talking stops.

At the bottom of the Mix to Far End panel is the Mix USB Playback checkbox. When this box is checked (default) the USB playback audio is mixed to the USB output and is sent to the far end. When the box is unchecked, USB playback audio is not sent to the far end via the USB output.

NOTE: If using a Web-based soft codec, it may be necessary to uncheck the Mix

USB Playback box, essentially muting USB playback audio to the far end. This

prevents a feedback loop if USB playback audio is sent to the far end.

Adjusting Mix Levels

To access the PCS software Mix screen:

1. On the PCS main window, click the Audio Config button (see figure 80 1 below) .

2. On the Audio Configuration screen, click the Mix tab (2). The Mix screen is

displayed.

Figure 80. Settings on the Mix Screen

The following adjustments are available from the Mix screen:

Setting the Room Volume

On the Mix screen, set the following master faders as follows:

1. Set the Room Volume master fader (see figure 80 5 above) to -20 dB. This is a safe

level to start playback.

2. Play the program sources, one at a time.

3. Switch among the inputs and use the faders in the Program Mix panel (see figure 80

above) to set the level of each line input source, so that each program source plays

back at about the same level.

4. Readjust the Room Volume master fader (5) to a comfortable listening level for the

room. A final setting of -10 for this fader leaves some room for the volume to be increased if needed (this depends on the size of the amplifier in the room and its input sensitivity setting).

5. Adjust the USB Communications fader (4) during an active conference to set a

comfortable and intelligible listening level for speech from the far end.

Setting the Mix to the Far End

The Mic master fader (see figure 80 6 on the previous page) and Program master fader in the Mix to Far End panel create the mix of program and microphone audio that is sent to the far end via the USB output. For best results, adjusting these masters during an active conference to achieve a proper blend of mic and program material, providing clear, undistorted audio to the far end.

These settings can be adjusted during a soft codec conference if needed (for example, if the participants at the far end notice that one audio type is louder than the other). Set this mix level while the talkers at the near end and far end are speaking at a normal levels for conferencing, and when program material is being played at the far end.
