ThinkSmart Hub Configuration Guide for Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR)

Power Management

The ThinkSmart Hub comes equipped with an IR based human proximity sensor, which detects motion
directly in the line of sight of the sensor and a portion of surrounding areas. The sensor is placed in the
middle of the speaker grill, which is located underneath the integrated display.
The operating range of the sensor is 3 meters minimum and covers +/- 45-degree angle.
When the IR sensor does not detect any motion, the ThinkSmart Hub will put the integrated display and
any external display (if connected) into a supported standby mode. When the sensor detects motion,
the Hub will wake up the integrated display and any external displays that are connected to the Hub via
HDMI. Double-tap on the integrated display will also wake up the Hub and external displays if they are in
standby mode.
The MTR app runs 24/7 in the background even if the integrated display is in standby mode.
The ThinkSmart Hub does support HDMI CEC when used with ThinkSmart One Cable

Content Sharing

The ThinkSmart Hub supports two modes of content sharing, Teams/Skype for Business session based
content share and wired HDMI based content share.
Teams content sharing
Teams or Skype for Business clients running from client devices such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, etc
can share their content and screen share through the Teams or Skype for Business session. When such
content is being shared, the ThinkSmart Hub will show the content on the external display that is
connected via HDMI to the Hub.
Note: This shared data is transient and the Hub does not store any user data on a permanent basis.
Wired HDMI content sharing
The HDMI IN port on the back of the ThinkSmart Hub provides the HDMI Ingest capability. Connecting an
HDMI cable to the HDMI IN port on the Hub and connecting the other end to the PC or other client
device will instantly show the content of the client device onto the connected external large display. This
essentially is duplicating (or extending) the screen of the client device onto the large screen.
