RoomHub - hardware overview
Facing the back panel of RoomHub, you'll find all connectivity neatly organized for both AV and control integration.
Overview
The ports connect RoomHub to room systems, laptops, and external audio hardware.
———————————————————————————————————————————————
Network ports
Starting from the left, you'll find two LAN ports:
LAN 1 — power, control, and network traffic; MAC address 1 (printed on the box)
LAN 2 — audio (the AV network); MAC address 2
Note: LAN 1 supports PoE, which powers RoomHub. No external power supply is required.

USB-C connections
To the right of the LAN ports are two screw-down USB-C ports.
These ports connect RoomHub to your room compute (for example, a Microsoft Teams Room or Zoom Room system). They also support direct laptop connections for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) use.
How it works:
RoomHub automatically switches to the last connected device
Plug in a laptop, and RoomHub instantly routes audio and control to it
Disconnect, and it switches back to your room system automatically
This also works for fully BYOD setups, for instance, switching cleanly between two laptops without manual reconnection.

Analog audio I/O
Next to the USB-C ports are terminal block connectors for analog audio input and output. These allow you to:
Connect external audio equipment
Integrate with analog hearing loops or assistive listening systems
Add flexibility in environments where Dante or digital audio isn't required

Bluetooth connectivity
Inside every RoomHub is a Bluetooth 5.4 module with Auracast™ support. You can pair third-party Bluetooth devices for:
Media playback (for example, streaming from a phone or tablet)
Wireless meeting participation, connecting directly to RoomHub from your smartphone

In summary
RoomHub brings all your network, USB, analog, and wireless connections into one hub:
LAN 1 / 2 — audio and control; split or converged mode; LAN 1 supports PoE
USB-C (×2) — room compute or BYOD; auto-switches between connected devices
Analog I/O — line-level audio; ideal for hearing loops or legacy systems
Bluetooth 5.4 — wireless connectivity; supports playback and mobile conferencing
