The EasyConnect MPX 250 DC is the ideal scalable AV solution for expanding your conference room. It allows you to seamlessly expand existing EasyConnect MPX 250 systems, making your distributed connectivity flexible and future-proof.

Product Highlights and Features:

• Effortless scalability for growing requirements: The EasyConnect MPX 250 DC is a central AV hub specifically designed to connect multiple EasyConnect MPX 250 units. This allows you to expand your AV technology easily and cost-effectively, rather than having to invest in a completely new system.
• All-in-one solution for instant expansion: The package includes all the components you need – the MPX 250 DC Connection Hub, a compatible power supply, and the required USB-C cables. This gives you everything you need to expand your system quickly and easily.

Detailed Application Options for the EasyConnect MPX 250 DC

The EasyConnect MPX 250 can be flexibly adapted to various room sizes and setups. The EasyConnect MPX 250 DC expands this flexibility by enabling connectivity with multiple units. Here is an overview of typical application scenarios and how you can implement them with your EasyConnect MPX 250 DC.

Connectivity Fundamentals

To understand the installation, it is helpful to know the basic terms:

• Upstream and downstream: Upstream connections go toward the user devices (such as laptops), while downstream connections lead to the room devices (displays, cameras, microphones).
• USB daisy chain limitation: The USB specification allows a maximum of 5 hubs in a chain between the host (laptop) and the end device (peripheral). The architecture of the EasyConnect MPX 250 was designed to always comply with this rule, ensuring optimal performance and stability.

Simple Configurations

This is the most basic setup. A single EasyConnect MPX 250 is connected to the room display via HDMI and to the conference peripherals (e.g., camera, microphone) via USB. This creates a central hub for media connectivity in smaller meeting rooms.

Single unit, two displays

For medium-sized conference rooms or seminar rooms with two displays, you can connect a second display via the EXT Out/DP/UC/AV USB-C port. For displays that only have HDMI, you simply need a USB-C to HDMI adapter to convert the video signal.

Scalable Systems with Multiple Units

This is where the strength of the EasyConnect MPX 250 DC really shines. It allows you to seamlessly connect multiple MPX 250 units in a single system, massively increasing the number of connection options.

Distributed connectivity for up to 16 connections

An EasyConnect MPX 250 DC serves as a central hub for up to four additional MPX 250 units. In this configuration, all USB-C ports on the decentralized units remain available for your end devices. This means you can distribute the connections at various points in the room – ideal for large conference tables or training rooms where many users need to connect their devices at the same time. With this topology, you can seamlessly connect up to 16 end devices to the system.

Integration into Existing UC Environments

The EasyConnect MPX 250 can be seamlessly integrated into hybrid conference rooms that already have a UC system (e.g., Windows or Android).

BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) with UC Systems

You can configure the EasyConnect MPX 250 to act as a switching point between the permanently installed UC system and the users' laptops. With just one tap on the touch controller, you can switch between the UC system and BYOM mode, ensuring smooth collaboration and maximum flexibility.

Connection with MAX Connect

In hybrid conference rooms, the EasyConnect MPX 250 can also be used in combination with a MAX Connect system to optimize the video conferencing experience and increase the flexibility of room usage.
