One end of the Controller is hardwired to your eyewear and the other end has two
connectors; a mini-B USB and a HDMI connector. The face of the Controller contains
four control buttons and an indicator light.

Tip: A USB extension cable can be used as long as it is meets USB 2.0 specifications. Some lower
quality USB extension cables are know to adversely affect performance.
The STAR 1200XLD supports HDMI 1.4a and connects to your host device using the

§ Connect the Controller to your host device using the provided HDMI cable.
Tip: Additional adapters or cables may be required for your installation. Be aware that some HDMI
