AV System Configuration with KLIKBoks HUB and KLIKLink AV – KLIKBoks

Introduction

The KLIKBoks HUB, KLIKLink AV, and KLIKConnect software form a unified, wireless AV solution ideal for collaboration and videoconferencing in meeting rooms, classrooms, and event spaces. This article serves two purposes:

System Design: Important information on how to best design AV systems utilizing KLIK products in meeting and collaboration spaces where video conferencing is used.
Deployment Guide: Illustrate how peripheral components such as cameras, microphones, loudspeakers, and audio/video processing can be integrated with KLIK.

Throughout, refer to the accompanying diagrams (Figures 1–4) for visual guidance.

1. Core Capabilities Beyond Screen Sharing

While wireless screen sharing is central to the KLIK experience, the HUB, Link, and KLIKConnect offer many additional functions:

Wireless Conferencing: Seamless, self-hosted audio/video integration without cables.
Peripheral Consolidation: Connect cameras, microphones, speakers, touchscreens, and more to the KLIKBoks HUB.
Flexible Host Placement: Freely position the host PC anywhere on the network or in the room.

Figure 1: System Overview

The simplest way to improve video conferencing performance is to move it from a laptop to a large monitor, a separate webcam, and an integrated speakerphone, all connected to the host PC.

2. How It Works: From Wired to Wireless

2.1 Traditional Wired Setup

Audio & Video Devices connect to the PC via USB (webcam, speakerphone).
Display Output connects via HDMI.
Software Handshakes establish device availability and optimal settings for both USB and HDMI peripherals (resolution, refresh rate, audio parameters).

This arrangement requires three separate cables and direct physical connections to the host computer.

2.2 KLIK Wireless Architecture

With a KLIKBoks HUB, all peripherals—camera, audio, and display—attach to the HUB instead of the PC:

Reduced Cable Runs: Only the HUB needs local cabling.
Anywhere Host: The host PC can be located anywhere inside (or outside) the room, without regard for cables.
Wireless Link: Host PC connects to the AV peripherals by first making a wireless connection to the HUB using either the KLIKConnect app or the KLIKLink AV hardware adapter.

HUB accepts all signals from USB devices such as webcam, speakerphone, HID devices and even touch-enabled displays, then shares those signals to the host PC wirelessly.

3. Connecting to the HUB

3.1 KLIKConnect Software

Platform Support: Windows and macOS.
HD Video & Bi‑Directional Audio: Streams display output wirelessly and relays camera and mic signals back and forth to the PC. Also sends HID data back to the PC.
Network Flexibility: Connects over Wi‑Fi (direct to HUB) or via existing LAN (wired or wireless).

One of the key features of the free KLIKConnect app is its wireless connectivity with conferencing peripherals such as webcams and audio systems, turning in-room hardware into wireless devices that connect to any host PC.

Use Case: Ideal for frequent users who already have the application installed.

3.2 KLIKLink AV Transceiver (KB462A)

Plug‑and‑Play: Single USB‑C cable to the PC—no software install required.
Complete AV Integration: Carries bi-directional video, audio, and HID data over one link.
Guest‑Friendly: Perfect for occasional presenters or visitors without KLIKConnect.

KLIKLink AV offers a single-cable wireless solution for screen sharing, video conferencing and touch integration with the KLIKBoks HUB collaboration system, freeing users from cables and boosting productivity.

3.3 Touch and HID Devices

HUB supports a data‑only HID channel for any connected touchscreen, keyboard, mouse, or remote:

Touch inputs and cursor control flow seamlessly back to the host PC.
No extra configuration—devices appear as if plugged directly into the laptop.

4. Secure Wireless Communications Using KLIKLink AV

HUB and Link establish an encrypted channel to:

Send full‑HD screen share video to the display.
Receive webcam video and microphone audio.
Exchange HID (touch, keyboard, mouse) data.
Deliver composite audio from conferencing applications to room speakers.

All peripheral devices on the HUB appear on the PC exactly as if attached via USB. One wireless or single‑cable connection handles every data stream simultaneously.

5. Advanced Deployment: Multi‑Camera & Mixer Integration

For sophisticated conference rooms with multiple cameras, microphones, and speakers:

USB Consolidation: Connect all AV devices to a USB switcher or mixer.
Active USB Hub: Expand HUB ports with a powered USB3.0 hub if needed.
Video Routing: Route PTZ cameras, fixed cameras, and document camera through a video switcher with HDMI and USB outputs.
Audio Processing: Use an analog mixer or Dante digital audio network with a Dante‑to‑USB adapter for digital audio transport.

Just one of many examples of how KLIKBoks HUB can act as the central point in any AV collaboration system with its expansive USB and HDMI connectivity capabilities, simplifying operation, vastly improving audio and video quality, and making all sessions more productive.

Outcome: Any user can tap once to connect their laptop and leverage the room’s entire AV infrastructure—no juggling cables.

6. Intermediate Deployment: Integrated Video Bars

If you prefer a simpler setup:

Video Bar or Column Systems: Single‑cable USB solutions combining camera and speakerphone.
Portability: Easily move the device between rooms.
Power: Typically requires an external power supply.

KLIKBoks HUB and KLIKLink AV provide a wireless connectivity option for almost any audio/video conferencing peripheral, even integrated video bars and all-in-one columns.

Tip: When adding a USB hub to the HUB, choose a self‑powered USB3.0 model and verify device compatibility before installation.

7. Conclusion & Next Steps

By combining the KLIKBoks HUB, KLIKLink AV, and KLIKConnect software, you can transform any room into a flexible, wireless collaboration space. Whether you need a basic plug‑and‑play solution or a complex multi‑camera, multi‑microphone environment, KLIK adapts to your workflow.
