Introduction

1. The USB-C port market INPUT is where the laptop should connect. It provides the laptop with up to 100W USB-C PD charging, USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 communication and DisplayPort-Alt-Mode 1.4 video support.

2. The second USB-C port marked EXTENSION is a downstream USB and DisplayPort-Alt-mode port. Any USB device connected on this port will be made available to the connected laptop. Since it is a DP-Alt-Mode sink it can also be used to connect a secondary display, either one that supports USB-C input (like an interactive display) or a regular HDMI display using a USB-C-to-HDMI adapter. Max resolution is 4k @ 60Hz in full color ((4:4:4 or RGB)

3. The HDMI port is supporting the HDMI 2.1 standard. With the DP-alt-mode lane configuration used, the max resolution if 4k @60Hz at full color (4:4:4 or RGB). Note that when dual monitors are connected, the laptop can deliver dual 4k @ 60Hz when a DisplayPort 1.4 capable Windows laptop is used.

4. The USB-C port marked UC is to connect USB devices via USB-C. It supports 5V USB-C PD power and USB 2.0 and USB 3.2. It does not delivery any video output, so no USB-C-to-HDMI dongle can be connected here.

5. The two USB-A ports are dedicated to connected downstream USB devices like video bar, a USB camera or a USB speaker / microphone.

6. If internet / corporate network should be accessed, that can be done by connected a network cable to this port. There is an internal USB-to-Ethernet bridge function in the O-PD-4 that take care of this.

7. The O-PD-4 is shipped with a 200W power supply.

BYOD installation in small rooms

For regular BYOD rooms with a separate display and USB device, this is normally how the installation looks like.

The main item to address is to ensure that correct cables are used.

BYOD installation in larger room

If the BYOD-room requires longer cables than can be solved with passive cables, it is important that the following are considered:

Conference System with full-featured USB-C

A key unique feature of O-PD-4 is that it supports video output through the USB-C port marked EXTENSION. This makes it ideal support extension of the latest generation of Video Bars that have full-featured USB-C input and have the display connected via HDMI from the video bar. With this setup, it ensures that the laptop get a solid 100W charging and a flexible and user-friendly USB-C cable.

Upstream of O-PC-4

In certain installations, it is required to have one or several of the USB-C connections in a room to be farther away from the main O-PC-4 than the 3m that is the maximum USB-C connection length. For those room an O-PD-4 can be connected upstream of the O-PC-4 like in the picture above. This will ensure that there is robust 100W charging and video and USB communication up to 20m from the main O-PC-4. If a O-PC-4-NODE is used in this configuration instead of the O-PD-4, there will be no charging available.
