Description
You can also use either of the following suggested cables:
• USB Type-C to USB 3.0 Type-A cable;
• USB Type-C to Type-C cable (USB 3.1 Gen 1 or above).
Applications
APPLICATION 1:
BYOD or ZOOM ROOM
APPLICATION 2:
ZOOM ROOM ONLY WITH BYOD CONTENT SHARING
1. In the “Zoom Room Only” Application the Zoom Room PC gets the HT-ODYSSEY mics through the
USB Micro to USB-A connection
2. In the “Zoom Room Only” Application the USB-C or HDMI inputs will only route video and audio out
to the Zoom capture card for content sharing. The USB-C will get the HT-ODYSSEY mics or camera.
Switching to HDMI will not switch the USB from the Zoom PC.
3. When switching the scenario, a device reboot is needed to apply the settings. (Using Web UI or API
commands to switch the scenario, refer to “Web UI” section or the separate document “API
Command Set HT-ODYSSEY”.)
Note: After the speakerphone is connected to a laptop using the included USB-A to USB-B Mini cable,
the speakerphone can be detected by the system.
• Speaker: HT-ODYSSEY
• Mic: HT-ODYSSEY
• Wi-Fi: HT-ODYSSEY
Hall Technologies January 25, 2023 Page 8 of 35

Key Functions
The device offers multiple functions such as video switching, automatic signal switching, Guide Screen
and OSD, allowing for easy system use.
VIDEO SWITCHING
The device supports full screen and split screen, as shown in the following figure.
1. When BYOD is set to OFF, the HT-ODYSSEY only works as full screen, and can switch sources between
HDMI IN /USB Type-B / USB Type-C and HT-Voyager and will follow the rule: “Last-in-first-out”:
• When a video source is connected, the device automatically switches to this source and outputs
it.
• When the current video source is disconnected, the device switches to the active video source
most recently connected or selected. If there’s no active source connected, the device outputs
the Guide Screen picture.
Note:
• You can switch HDMI IN/Type-C source by plugging or unplugging the cable, or by pressing the
Source Switch button on the top panel.
• When switching sources, the USB device is always bound with the selected source.
2. When BYOD is set to ON, the device supports switching among all sources.
• When one source is connected to the device, the device is in full screen mode.
• When two or more sources are connected to the device, the device is in split screen and the latest
inserted source will replace the earliest connected source to display in the corresponding split
screen.
• When the currently selected video source is disconnected:
o First, the device checks the last selected wired source. If the source is active, the device
Hall Technologies January 25, 2023 Page 9 of 35
Page 10
will switch to the source and display it on the screen.
o If the last selected wired source is not active, the device will check the other wired source.
If that source is active, the device will switch to the source and display it on the screen.
o If there’s no active source, the device will display the Guide Screen on the display, and
after 1 minute, the device will send the CEC power off command to turn off the sync
display.
Note: If a new source replaces the current wireless source (HT-Voyager / AirPlay / Miracast, Smart View),
the current wireless source is disconnected from the device and the new source is displayed.
SCREEN MIRRORING
With screen mirroring support, the device allows users to wirelessly share multimedia from their devices
on any HDMI displays. Screen mirroring can be performed over AirPlay, Miracast, Smart View and HTVoyager.
1. Screen mirroring over AirPlay
Using an iPhone 8 (iOS 15.2) for example:
1. Connect your iPhone to the soft AP of the device.
ð Soft AP SSID: this should be the same as the device name which can be obtained from the
OSD at the upper right corner of the display screen. By default, it is set as HT-ODYSSEY.
ð Password: this password can be set through Web UI or Telnet API and can be obtained from
the OSD at the bottom right corner of the display screen. By default, it is set as 12345678.
2. Slide up from the bottom of the iPhone’s screen to show the control center. Click Screen
Mirroring and choose the device name in the pop-up list.

1. Enable the Wi-Fi or WLAN feature of the mobile device.
2. Slide down from the top of the screen and click the Smart View icon in the pop-up interface.
3. The Smart View window appears and starts to search for Miracast receiver. Click the HT-ODYSSEY
device name in the search result and the device will output the mobile screen.
3. Screen mirroring Miracast
For Windows 10 PC:
1. Enable the WLAN feature of your PC.
2. Click the icon on bottom right of the screen to open Action Center.

5. The HT-ODYSSEY device displays the PC’s content once your PC is connected to the device
successfully.
6. To disconnect the PC from the device, click Disconnect.
Note:
! The icon and interface of the Miracast function may vary on different computers.
! Some Windows 10 computers may fail to perform screen mirroring with Miracast due to
compatibility issues.
! A shortcut for displaying from a Windows computer can be found by pressing Windows + K.
Tip: Both the AirPlay mirroring and Miracast support access code. If you see the PIN entry window
appears on your devices, input the access code which can be obtained through OSD. (See “OSD” section
for more information.)
4. Screen mirroring over HT-VOYAGER
HT-Voyager allows you to share your laptop’s content on the display screen without installing any
additional software. Simply plug in the HT-VOYAGER into USB-C and click the button. For more
information, see the user guide of HT-VOYAGER. (Note: HT-VOYAGER is sold separately.)
GUIDE SCREEN
The device uses a Guide Screen to convey the basic connection instructions for user access. The Guide
Screen can be personalized to allow custom connection instructions on the device’s Web UI page. When
all video sources are disconnected from the device, the following default Guide Screen is displayed on
the screen automatically:

• This Guide Screen picture can be changed through the Web UI setting. Please refer to Guide Screen
section for more information.
• By default, if the Guide Screen is being displayed for 60 seconds with no wireless casting connectivity,
a countdown timer with the time period of 60 seconds will appear. When the timer ticks to zero, if
the connected display is CEC-supported, the display will enter standby mode.
OSD
The device supports OSD (On Screen Display) to convey basic information, including the video source’s
information, access code, device name, IP address, and Wi-Fi password. The following are two different
OSD examples.
Example 1: Full Screen Mode:

Example 2: Split Screen Mode:
HT-ODYSSEY
IP. 192.168.9.46
WiFi Pwd:12345678
Note:
• When the device outputs the Guide Screen, the OSD will be displayed continuously until the
countdown timer reaches zero.
• When the device outputs video input sources, the OSD will be displayed for 10 seconds and then will
disappear.
• By default the access code is set as blank, and therefore the OSD doesn’t display the access code. If
you want to set an access code, see BYOD section for more information.
