Stylish connection port to connect a/v, ethernet, power, and USB to notebooks

AMX has launched good looking table-top connection port to easily connecte Audio Video, power and data connection to mobile computers such notebooks and netbooks and also the present day tablets and smartphones. The stylish, anodized brushed aluminum HydraPort units, available in silver or black, let users quickly connect their devices through a contemporary, unobtrusive enclosure.

"The HydraPort line has been successful because most meeting space connection systems on the market are either lackluster, expensive, or both," said AMX Chief Technology Officer Robert Noble. "The new HydraPort Connection series offers customers the architecturally driven style and adaptable convenience of the successful HydraPort HPX-1600, and at a lower price point."

The 6-, 9- and 12-module HydraPorts are completely configurable, allowing installers to easily adjust the modules to the AV, power and data needs of any room. These include HDMI and RGB+Audio as well as a range of other AV module options. Additionally, Ethernet and USB modules are included for data pass-through. A choice of power modules, supporting regulatory standards for a variety of countries, are available as well. HydraPorts sit nearly flush with the mounting surface - even with the lid open, which is ideal for conserving limited table and lectern space. Users can connect and control laptops, projectors, document cameras, DVD players, audio equipment and other support devices. The lid opens in both directions providing a clean, unobtrusive look, and can be closed even with most cables connected.

Also included in this release are new 2-inch and 3/4-inch HydraPort Grommets, a stylish, practical solution for routing cables through any mounting surface.
