NThe PMK 300 has a hole in the bottom plate that allows the projector pole to be inserted through the center of the plate (figure 2-6), rather than outside of the plate (figure 2-5). To install the PMK 300 in this configuration, slide the bracket up from the bottom of the pole before the projector is installed on the pole.

4. Place the contoured bracket brace against the pole and opposite the back plate. The pole should fit snugly into the depression in the center of the bracket brace.

5. Place the U-bolt around the ceiling pole. Insert the two legs of the U-bolt through the round holes on the contoured bracket brace and then through the slotted holes on the bracket’s mounting plate.

NThe supplied U-bolt fits a typical (1.5" to 2.0" diameter) ceiling pole.

6. Secure the bracket to the U-bolt with the included hex nuts, washers, and lock washers. Tighten the hex nuts just enough that they can be loosened by hand.

The Extron Electronics HDMI 201 Rx is a versatile and high-performing HDMI receiver designed for professional AV installations. This device is engineered to extend HDMI signals up to 230 feet (70 meters) using a single Cat 6a or better cable, ensuring that high-definition video and audio can be transmitted over long distances without compromising quality.

One of the standout features of the HDMI 201 Rx is its ability to support resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz, along with 1080p video at 60Hz. This makes it an excellent choice for environments where crisp, high-resolution visuals are critical, such as classrooms, conference rooms, and auditoriums. The receiver also supports various audio formats, including LPCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS, ensuring that users receive a comprehensive audio experience.
