Extended Configuration Of Multiple Pods; Network Bandwidth - Sony Vision Exchange PEQ-C100 System Integration & Services Manual

Extended configuration of multiple Pods

Up to 10 pods can be connected to a single main unit. When the maximum number (six) of user
devices are connected to each Pod, network traffic may become a problem.
For details, see "Network bandwidth" below.
Use multiple wireless LAN access points and layer 2 switches according to the required network
bandwidth.

Network bandwidth

This section describes how to calculate the required network bandwidth.
Specifically, calculate the network bandwidth that the wireless LAN access point and layer 2
switch must maintain.
For details about mirroring from a user device to the main unit or a Pod, see "Network
bandwidth" (page 12) in the "Interactive Lecture" section.
Pod sharing throughput
In active learning, in addition to the throughput for mirroring, the throughput for Pod sharing
between the main unit and Pods also occurs.
Similar to mirroring of Windows devices, there are two types of Pod sharing: content display
Pod sharing for display of high quality/high throughput images in the content area, and
thumbnail display Pod sharing for display of low image quality/low throughput images in the
Pod sharing area.
These two types are dynamically switched by user operation. Moving the image displayed in
the Pod sharing area on the main unit into the content area by drag & drop dynamically
switches the image from thumbnail display Pod sharing to content display Pod sharing.
Subsequently, moving another image into the content area by drag & drop replaces the image
display in the content area, and switches the image from content display Pod sharing to
thumbnail display Pod sharing.
Maximum number of content display Pod sharing images from a Pod to the main unit
The maximum number of content display Pod sharing images from a Pod to the main unit is the
same as the number of displays connected to the main unit. When two displays are connected
to the main unit, up to two content display Pod sharing sources can be used for the two content
areas on both displays.
Maximum number of content display Pod sharing images from the main unit to a
Pod
Content display Pod sharing is used when displaying the image shown in the content area of
the main unit in full-screen mode on a Pod.
