Connectivity is centered on reliable Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support via the included injector, simplifying installation. The unit also provides an HDMI input for content sharing, a USB port for peripheral expansion, and integrated Wireless LAN for network flexibility.
