The TechLogix CAV System was featured at ISE 2019 for its simple approach to classroom and meeting room audio-visual management. You can view the video online. 

The CAV System combines audio, video and USB signal management with durable, user-friendly control. It condenses room audio-visual management into four simple operations: system on, system off, device selection and volume control. The system is even intelligent enough to detect new device connections and automatically switch video streams. 

Each CAV package includes: 1) wallplate connectivity for in-room devices, such as laptops, interactive whiteboards, media players and document cameras; 2) wallplate control for the integrated devices; 3)  display integration and control; 4) microphone and speaker integration and control; and 5) remote network monitoring and control. TechLogix offers various models of the system, supporting both analog and digital audio-visual devices.   

To ensure an efficient installation, all CAV system components integrate with a single twisted pair cable and multiple rooms can be automatically programmed with a standard USB flash drive.   

CAV Series systems replace hours of design and installation work, and can be operated by virtually anyone with little-to-no training.

TechLogix's award-winning Share-Me™ table insert systems are now available with built-in twisted pair extension and expanded control capabilities. 

"The original Share-Me™ line was developed for small meeting spaces where the display is in close proximity to the table," explains Christopher Melendy, TechLogix CTO. "After two years of world-wide installations it became evident that larger, more complex spaces could also benefit from Share-Me™ technology, but that meant extended outputs and additional control options."

Two new switcher/extender packages interface with existing Share-Me™ table insert controllers while providing integrated twisted pair extension, audio de-embedding and display/screen control via CEC, IR and RS232. The TL-SM3C-HD system features switching for up to three HDMI sources, whereas the TL-SM3C-HDV system features switching for up to two HDMI sources and one VGA source. 

Each switcher/extender package manages the AV connections of up to three simultaneous presenters and extends audio, video and control up to 70m (220 ft). Simple table insert control interfaces allow them to connect their laptops, tablets, phones and other presentation devices while intuitively powering the display on/off and selecting active AV inputs. 

Additional information on the TL-SM3C-HD and TL-SM3C-HDV is available in the chart below or by visiting their respective product page on the TechLogix website. 

Compatible TechLogix table insert options:  

The TL-SMKIT-05 and TL-SMKIT-06 are the latest releases in TechLogix's turnkey Share-Me™ system lineup. Both systems combine 3x1 HDMI switching with pass-through table inserts, allowing cables to securely retract through conference room tables, desks and podiums. 

The TL-SMKIT-05 includes (1) under-table mounted switcher, (2) pass-through table inserts, and installation cables. 

The TL-SMKIT-06 includes (1) under-table mounted switcher, (3) pass-through table inserts, and installation cables. 

Both systems were designed specifically for use with TechLogix SMPC presentation cables, which allow laptops, tablets and phones with various video outputs to integrate into an AV presentation system. 

TechLogix SMKIT Example System

TechLogix Share-Me™ kits redefine installation simplicity while offering users unparalleled ease-of-use. Systems include everything needed for collaboration -- simply add a flat panel display and HDMI cable. Plus, the system will automatically program itself and most installations are finished in under 30 minutes.

The How to Terminate TechLogix SSF™ Fiber video is essential for integrators seeking to terminate fiber optic cables and verify properly installed connectors. The video covers three areas: 

1. The typical tools used during the termination. 
2. The actual step-by-step termination process. 
3. Identifying a properly terminated connector and, when required, fixing improper connections. 

The video can be viewed and downloaded in TechLogix's online video library. 

All of the tools used in the video are part of the standard TechLogix Fiber Termination Kit.  

The fiber optic cable used is standard riser-rated duplex OM3 -- the most frequently installed fiber in residential and commercial applications. 

The fiber optic connector used is a standard SC-style connector. LC connectors follow an almost identical termination process; the main difference being the length of the cleave. 

Additional information on installing and troubleshooting fiber is available in a recent blog post and a pre-recorded webinar.
