HD CTL 100 • Setup Guide with Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR)

This is a supplementary setup guide for properly setting up the HD CTL 100 with Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) (formerly known as Skype Room Systems).

The Extron HD CTL 100 is a compact workspace controller designed for automatic display control in small meeting rooms and huddle spaces. It features an HDMI pass-through port that detects signal presence. When an active signal is connected to the HDMI input from the Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) device, the HD CTL 100 automatically turns on the display via CEC control. When no signal is detected, the HD CTL 100 powers off the display after a predetermined period.

The diagrams in this guide show how to set up using either a dedicated Microsoft SRS device or a touchscreen display attached to a Microsoft Teams Rooms PC.

For advanced room automation and integration with optional room occupancy sensors, or the control of display via RS-232 (or infrared) using the Configuration Program, reference the full HD CTL 100 Workspace Controller Setup Guide, available at www.extron.com.

NOTE: For more details about installation, configuration, and operation, see the HD CTL 100 User Guide, available at www.extron.com.

Figure 5. Cabling Diagram (Dual Display) for MTR Computer

NOTE: The displays in figure 2 on the previous page through figure 5 are controlled via CEC, which is accomplished using the same HDMI cables for transporting video from the Microsoft Teams Rooms to the display. For instances where the displays do not support CEC, use RS-232 or IR control. Enabling CEC on some displays may be required. Please consult the display manual for instructions
