All-in-one meeting room & classroom AV system -- 1 HDMI & 1 VGA input

TL-CAV-01-HDV

Unfortunately, technology in classrooms and conference rooms is often more frustrating than effective. The headache begins at the design stage—random parts need to be pieced together to form some semblance of a system. The headache continues into the purchasing stage—technology is expensive, often costing multiple thousands of dollars per room. Installation is just as painful—those random parts now need to be connected together, and extensive programming is required to make them operate as one. And then the head explodes—the system is too daunting for the presenter, so they let it sit unused.

Thousands of dollars and countless hours are wasted by the users of the rooms who opt to ignore the expensive technology around them.  

Enter the TL-CAV-01 room kit. We’ve designed the system to be affordable, easy-to-install, intuitive to use, and powerfully effective as a presentation and room audio-visual signal management tool. The system includes both audio and video routing and control, and only requires a single shielded twisted pair cable to connect all of the components. Best of all, a simple wallplate controller provides users with volume control and source selection, and automatic modes of operation ensure the system will be used and not feared.  The single TL-CAV-01 part number replaces hours of design and installation work, and the all-in system price is unrivaled in the education and corporate AV technology markets.

Installation

1. Install a single gang wallbox for the wallplate controller. It is recommended that the wallbox be at light switch height and in a location that’s easily accessible for increasing/decreasing volume and selecting inputs.

2. Install a double gang wallbox for the wallplate transmitter. It is recommended that the wallbox be near the source devices, such as laptops, computers, media players, DVD players, and document cameras.

3. Mount or position the surface-mount receiver/processor in its permanent location.

4. Run a twisted pair patch cord with RJ45 connectors from the single gang wallbox to the double gang wallbox.

5. Run a second shielded solid corfe twisted pair patch cord with shielded RJ45 connectors from the double gang wallbox to the surface-mount receiver/processor.

6. Connect the wallplate controller to the twisted pair patch cord and install in the single gang wallbox.

7. Connect the wallplate transmitter to the both twisted pair patch cords (one from the single gang wallbox/controller and one to the receiver/processor) and install in the double gang wallbox.

8. Connect surface-mount receiver/processor to the twisted pair patch cord.

9. Connect 4 ohm speakers to the amplifier port on the surface-mount receiver/processor.

10. Optional steps:

*** Connect a microphone or voice lift system to the Mic Input port on the surface-mount receiver/processor.

*** Connect an interactive whiteboard and/or computer to the USB ports on the wallplate transmitter and surface-mount receiver/processor.

*** Connect the IR and RS232 control ports of the surface-mount receiver/processor to the connected source and destination devices.

*** Input the IR or RS232 commands for connected source and destination devices into the wallplate controller (see the Installation Guide for specific information).

11. Connect the power supply (included in the package) to the surface-mount receiver/processor.

12. Connect the power supply to an AC outlet or power source.

13. Connect up to two source devices to the wallplate transmitter using HDMI and/or VGA cables.

14. Adjust volume levels and select inputs using the wallplate controller.
