Detailed Functional Diagram Description
A detailed functional drawing illustrates the system's physical connections. In an equipment rack, a Zoom Rooms PC (e.g., PC-01) connects via USB 3.0, DisplayPort, and LAN to the network. The QSC Core 8 Flex, a central processing unit, features multiple USB, LAN, and Phoenix connectors for audio input/output and control. The QSC SPA2-60 amplifier connects via Phoenix connectors for audio signals and power. A QSC NS Series network switch provides network distribution, with numerous RJ45 ports supporting LAN and Power over Ethernet (PoE+) connections. Ceiling-mounted components include QSC AD-C4T-LP loudspeakers, connected via LAN/PoE and DANTE audio ports. The Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone is also ceiling-mounted, connecting via LAN/PoE and DANTE audio ports. The QSC I/O USB Bridge connects to the system via USB and LAN. The diagram also shows a second Zoom Rooms PC (PC-02) with similar peripheral connections.
