is an HDMI to USB bridge for integrating pro AV sources or systems with software codec conferencing applications. It works seamlessly with a computer using generic USB video and audio drivers. The MediaPort
®
features an HDMI input with HDCP-compliant loop through, accepts signals up to 1920x1200, and scales video to a USB 2.0 output. Audio features include program and mic inputs, HDMI audio de‑embedding, and USB bidirectional audio, plus AEC reference and line level outputs. The MediaPort 200 also includes DSP with EQ, filters, mixing, dynamics, and ducking. This allows the MediaPort 200 to serve as a complete soft codec interface, with the added flexibility of integrating into larger hardware codec or DSP systems. The MediaPort 200 enables versatile integration of conferencing computers into pro AV designs.
Optimal Video Processing for Soft Codecs
The MediaPort 200 accepts resolutions up to 1080p/60 and 1920x1200, and provides high performance deinterlacing of interlaced signals up to 1080i. To ensure the HDMI source is presented with the highest possible image quality to a soft codec, the MediaPort 200 incorporates video processing technology, specifically engineered for optimized image scaling and frame rate conversion that preserves detail and legibility of source content. Output resolutions range from 320x180 to 1080p/15, and are dynamically configured by the software codec as it responds to real-time CPU usage and bandwidth conditions between near-end and far-end locations. The video output is delivered as an MJPEG-encoded stream over USB 2.0.
The MediaPort 200 is a fully featured video processor with many of the core integration features common to Extron scalers, including aspect ratio control, internal test patterns, Auto-Image™, and Auto Input Memory. It can also display a user-supplied logo image whenever no signal is present at the HDMI input.

— Ensures optimal quality of camera or computer video content for far-end conferencing participants.
Scaling optimized to UC software codec requirements via custom resolution groups
— User-customizable resolutions can be defined in groups such as high, medium, and low quality to force the software codec to use the best scaled USB streaming resolution for current network and codec processor conditions.
Scaled USB streaming video output with MJPEG encoding
Integrated audio DSP
— Provides audio mixing and signal processing capabilities, including mixing and routing for 4x2 audio. The DSP is optimized for integration with mic and program audio sources as well as software codecs, hardware codecs, external DSP, and sound reinforcement.
AEC reference output
— This output provides far-end audio to an external AEC-equipped DSP. This audio is used by the external DSP as a reference signal for AEC - acoustic echo cancellation processing, to ensure echo-free conferencing for far-end participants.
HDCP-compliant HDMI input and loop-through
— Provides an output signal for a local display, an AV system, or a hardware codec, enabling the content to be monitored or shared without the need for a separate distribution amplifier. Both the HDMI input and loop-through are HDCP-compliant.
HDMI audio de‑embedding
— Embedded HDMI two‑channel PCM audio can be extracted to the integrated DSP for processing and mixing.
USB 4x2 audio interface
— The USB connection provides a 4x2 channel audio interface with a computer, similar to a standard USB sound card with send and return audio capability. This allows the MediaPort 200 to send a two-channel audio source mix to the personal computer, and the computer to deliver its program audio plus two-channel communication audio from the soft codec’s far-end to the MediaPort 200.

High performance deinterlacing for signals up to 1080i
— Features highly accurate deinterlacing for 480i/576i/1080i signals. This ensures absolute detail and fidelity in the reconstructed progressive video frames, including 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown for interlaced signals originating from film content.
Mic/line input with 48 volt phantom power
— A mic or line level audio source can be mixed with program audio. Selectable 48 volt phantom power allows the use of condenser microphones.
Front panel LED indicators for HDMI and USB signal status
— Provide visual feedback for HDMI input and loop-through signal presence, HDCP status, plus USB signal presence for the host computer, video send, audio send, and audio return.
Logo image display
— The MediaPort 200 can be set to automatically display a user-supplied image file on the HDMI output whenever no signal is present or on the USB output if HDCP-protected content is being used and no video can be displayed.
Aspect ratio control
— The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output, or a FOLLOW mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
Auto Input Memory
— When activated, the unit automatically stores size, position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
Internal video test patterns and pink noise generator for calibration and setup
— The MediaPort 200 offers several video test patterns to facilitate proper system setup and calibration, and can provide an active output when an input video source is not available. The pink noise generator is selectable for all audio outputs, including USB audio to the computer, and aids in optimizing audio output signals.
Pictures controls for brightness, contrast, horizontal and vertical positioning, and sizing
User-selectable HDCP authorization
— Allows the unit to appear HDCP compliant or non-HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non-HDCP mode.
HDCP Visual Confirmation
— When HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, or to the USB output, a full screen green signal is sent to the display for immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on that display. An optional logo can be sent to the USB output in place of the green signal if desired.
EDID Minder
®
automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices
— EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs content for display.
