Presentation across a domain boundary

The shared display is the only common component — and therefore the only channel connecting the domains.

The problem

What makes it hard

A display or a projector is a bidirectional device. DDC, EDID, CEC and ARC are channels in both directions, and shared presentation equipment therefore joins together what is supposed to be isolated.

The only flow in this catalogue that is not IP traffic, and the one most often left out of the domain analysis. The meeting room is frequently the real gap in an otherwise correctly divided environment.

How it is built

Presentation surface across a domain boundary

The display is a shared, writable node between every domain connected to it.
