Interactive Whiteboard Video Connectivity

Passive USB Extension cables can be used to extend a USB signal to a total cable length of 5 meters, 16.4ft. These cables are not typically designed to be used for in-wall applications. This type of cable is ideal for a temporary connections or situations where cabling will be run through a cabling raceway outside of a wall.

Active USB Extension cables can be used to extend existing cabling up to 12 meters, 39.4ft. These active devices are not intended for in-wall applications. This type of cable is ideal for temporary connections or situations where cabling will be run through a cabling raceway outside of a wall.

USB Over Cat5 solutions can be used to extend a USB signal to a length of up to 150ft. These devices use standard network cabling, which can be used for in-wall, or plenum applications. This type of device is ideal for permanent connection between a computer and an interactive whiteboard.

This connector is commonly used on a projector to receive a VGA computer video signal. Certain models of projectors use this port as a dual purpose input capable of receiving either Component Video or VGA computer video.

This connector is commonly used on a projector to receive a S-Video signal. The connector has four pins arranged in two rows, as well as a keying block to make certain the plug cannot be inserted improperly.

This connector is commonly used on a projector to receive a digital or analog video signal. This connector contains 24 pins, arranged in three horizontal rows of eight pins. To the side of this grouping of pins is a wide, flat pin called a ground bar which is surrounded by four analog video pins. HDMI devices may be adapted to this port for digital video only.

This connector is commonly used on a projector to receive a Composite Video or stereo audio signal. The color code of the connector will indicate which signal the port is designed to receive.
Yellow - Composite Video
Red and White - Stereo Audio

This connector is commonly used on a projector to receive a stereo audio input. Certain models of projectors use this port as a microphone input. An icon of a speaker or microphone will typically be printed on the projector, near the port, to indicate which signal the port is designed to receive.

This connector is commonly used on a projector to receive a digital audio and video signal. This technology carries the same video information as DVI but adds the capacity for digital audio and control signals as well. This connector is technically described as a Type A HDMI connector.
