The device can be controlled by an application on the host side using our USB HID, RS-232 or LAN interfaces. You can also use the keypad on top of the device to control it manually.You can use the Mixer feature of the SHARE 2U to embed your two video sources into one single stream. This feature can be an important asset for you if your application only supports one video interface, like Skype®, Zoom®, Webex®, GoToMeeting® and all video conferencing applications.

The device may be controlled by the Control App or via an included API so you can design your own. You can read the sources status, presence, format, modify the EDID, update the firmware, etc. and ask for custom functionalities.
You can also get Crestron modules in order to control the device using the LAN or serial interface. You can get a look at the interface of the Crestron module below. Visit the Software Upgrade page under the INOGENI SHARE2U section for more details.
Control App
The device has its own application in order to control the Mixer configuration using the USB HID or the LAN interfaces. You can also monitor the firmware versions installed on the device and the status of the inputs. You can update your device to the latest firmware using the Update menu. The C++ source code of this application is available on demand. Visit the Software Update page under the INOGENI SHARE2U section for more details.
Application 1 - Meeting room
 This is a generic room with cameras mounted at the front. The purpose of the room is to support a live, interactive webcast of the nine meeting members, the meeting leader and a remote site. The people they are speaking with appear on a large screen. This could also be a one way webcast more like a news report in which case you would only require one large screen to serve as a monitor. Using a CAM 300 you could include a 3rd camera in the rear of the room directed on the meeting leader/moderator.

Application 2 - Lecture room
 A small lecture room used by different presenters. Using the HDMI output of the SHARE2U, the video is also shown on the screen. The presentation is webcast and made available for online review. In this case the SHARE2U is also used as an input to a Creston RL-2

Application 3 - Live webcast office
An office used also for one person webcasts. Typical applications include a financial advisor discussing how to grow your money, a subscription website manager talking about efficient website uploads or any other one to many communication. And they can be interactive via phone call in. The presentation is webcast live and made available for online review. MATERIAL TO BE COMMUNICATED VIDEO SOURCES |
Application 4 - SHARE2U Go Kit
 These are the components of a portable webcasting kit that can fit in a laptop case and one carry bag. Typical applications include news reporting and onsite interviews.

SHARE CONTROL
The meeting leader can control the SHARE2U from the buttons on the top or with an INOGENI remote control. SHARE2U may also be controlled via Ethernet, serial control or by Crestron/AMX . Ask INOGENI about Crestron modules
AUDIO SOURCES
Each meeting members is important and each needs to be heard along with the meeting leader. And there is audio coming from the computer. Several third party solutions are available for handling multiple microphones or microphone arrays. If the output is analog, it can be connected to the SHARE audio input. If the audio device has a USB output, it can be connected to the SHARE USB expansion ports.
VIDEO CABLES
You may need to run longer than normal cables to the rear to the SHARE2U.
Cable Length Specifications:
• USB 3.0 specification is 3 m/9.84 ft.
• USB 2.0 specification is 5 m/16.4 ft.
• Anything longer will need an active extender.

| Maximum USB Bandwidth | ||
|
Because of USB bandwidth limitation, you cannot stream simultaneously two 1080p60 videos over USB. However, for example, these combinations will work:
• Input 1 at 1080p50 and Input 2 at 1080p30. • Both Inputs at HD resolutions, such as 1080i60, 1080p30 or 720p60. • Input 1 at 1080p60 and Input 2 at 1080p23. • And all other combinations at lower resolution or frame rate. • The internal scaler can be used to reduce the resolution and frame rate of the input if necessary |
