Experiences with SRS/Logitech SmartDock
David Phillips asked me to share out experience with the Logitech SmartDock and SRSv2 in another thread, I thought I would start a new post to collect other people's experience. We are refurbishi...
Hello Steven,
thanks for the great information that you provided !!!
I got two questions regarding your setup for the 14 person room:
1. How did you handled the cabling of HDMI output from the Smartdock to the 2 screens ? What is the cable length you used and was it necessary to use some HDMI booster/extender ?
2. And basically the same question regarding the connection of the Groups USB camera to the Smartdock: What is the cable length you used and how (if necessary) did you extended the cable ?
One topic that is bothering me is how to use a SRS in a large room where the USB specification of max. cable length 5m is not enough. I've seen that there are "active" USB cables available and then in a different price range also active extender boxes using USB to Cat6 converters. I'm aware of Logitech's "Smartdock Flex" solution using exactly such a USB to Cat approach but if I would prefer the SRS solution of a different vendor e.g. the Lenovo Hub 500 than there is not such a solution available by Lenovo (as of right now).
Many thanks in advance !
