The directional connectors ensure correct installation, and the plug-and-play design means no extra power bricks or configuration—just connect and enjoy.

Ideal use cases

• Home theatre setups with projector-to-source distances
• Commercial installations: conference rooms, digital signage, lecture halls
• Gaming stations with a console located away from the display
