Downloading KanexPro software and firmware safely
How KanexPro checks firmware and software downloads, how to verify a file's SHA-256 fingerprint, what the Windows SmartScreen warning means, and…
Overview
This guide covers deploying KanexPro AV over IP in a huddle room environment — a small meeting space requiring wireless BYOD presentation, USB-C laptop connectivity, and a single display, all over the existing IP network.
Recommended SKUs
- AVO-IPJP2KUC-ENC — 4K60 JPEG2000 BYOD Encoder — USB-C & HDMI (encoder at the table)
- AVO-IPJP2K — 4K60 JPEG2000 Encoder/Decoder (decoder at the display)
- Managed 1G switch with IGMP snooping enabled
Typical Setup
- Source side: Place the AVO-IPJP2KUC-ENC encoder at the conference table. Connect a USB-C cable for laptop connection (supports HDMI alt mode and up to 100W PD charging). An HDMI input is also available for legacy sources.
- Display side: Connect a JPEG2000 decoder to the room display via HDMI. Connect the decoder to the managed switch.
- Network: Connect both encoder and decoder to the managed switch. Enable IGMP snooping. Assign to the same subnet.
- Routing: The encoder auto-routes to the decoder. No controller needed for a single room.
Key Features for Huddle Rooms
- BYOD: Supports USB-C laptops (Mac, PC, Chromebook) with auto-detect. No drivers or software required.
- PD Charging: Up to 100W USB-C power delivery — charges the laptop while presenting.
- Auto-switch: Automatically selects USB-C or HDMI based on which source is connected.
- 4K60: Full resolution output to the room display.
Optional: Wall Plate Installation
For a cleaner installation, replace the table encoder with the AVO-IPJP2KWP (wall plate encoder) or AVO-IPJP2KWPM (multi-input wall plate) to install directly into the conference table or wall panel.
