Abstract: Various implementations include devices and approaches for managing multimedia communications. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method of controlling a device connection includes: receiving audio data and video data from an input device connected with a peripheral bus input port; converting the audio data for transmission over an audio over internet protocol (IP) connection or a balun connection and converting the video data for transmission over a video over internet protocol (IP) connection or the balun connection; and transmitting the converted audio data and the converted video data for decoding and output to at least one output device via a multimedia audiovisual interface output port, where the peripheral bus input port is configured to support bidirectional audio and bidirectional video exchange with the input device and bidirectional exchange of IP-based control signals or balun-based control signals with the input device.

Abstract: An audio system and method for eliminating audio feedback including a first audio input arranged to receive a first audio signal, a first audio output arranged within a first predefined zone, the first audio output arranged to receive the first audio signal, a second audio output arranged within the first predefined zone, the second audio output arranged to receive the first audio signal, and one or more processors connected to a virtual matrix including a plurality of virtual channels connecting the first audio input, the first audio output, and the second audio output, and the one or more processors arranged to receive the first audio signal and attenuate or eliminate the first audio signal to the first audio output or the second audio output if an audio feedback is detected.

Abstract: A system for magnetically securing an electronics enclosure proximate a surface of a separate structure. The system includes a mounting apparatus that has a first surface, a second surface, and an interface structure that is constructed and arranged to allow the mounting apparatus to be secured to the surface of the separate structure, with the first surface of the mounting apparatus closer to the surface of the separate structure than is the second surface of the mounting apparatus. One or more magnets are fixed to one or both of the mounting apparatus and the electronics enclosure such that the one or more magnets are arranged to magnetically couple the electronics enclosure to the mounting apparatus.
