Displaying the multilingual closed captions from the KUDO Mobile Link on a large display can be achieved using basic AV skills and hardware devices. We highly recommend seeking professional AV support, especially during large-scale conferences or meetings where successful interpretation is critical.

Requirements:

- Large display or comfort monitor.

- Dedicated computer with HDMI output, or a USB adapter with an SDI output.

- Video scaler hardware (Brands such as Blackmagic, AJA, AVPro, Decimator)

- Stable wired internet connection.

- Appropriate power and display cabling (HDMI, SDI).

- Professional AV technician.

1. Open The KUDO Mobile Link in Your Web Browser 

Use a dedicated laptop or PC with a wired internet connection to open the KUDO Mobile Link in a supported browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge).

The meeting organiser of the KUDO meeting must share this mobile link ahead of time.

Once the meeting is live and "presenter" audio is correctly being published, you can select the language you'd like to display by using the dropdown list.

You can select between coloured backgrounds by clicking the "Aa" symbol at the top right. Here you have the choice between light and dark mode.

Tips:

Double check that you do not have any + or - "accessibility zoom"  function taking place within your browser for consistent text scaling.

Also check to mute the audio from your device or directly from the KUDO mobile link. (It's best to avoid having the audio of the translation leak out of a loud speaker when within close proximity to your microphone system in the same room).

2. Connect the Hardware and Cabling

Connect your laptop or PC to the video scaler’s input using an HDMI cable.

On your computer (Windows or Mac OS), go to the display settings and select “Extend Display” instead of mirroring. This keeps the main screen private while sending captions to the external display.

Next, connect the video scaler’s output to your main display using HDMI or SDI, depending on cable length and the video scaler hardware you’re using.

Tip: Avoid using HDMI for long cable runs—SDI is more reliable over distance.

3.  Scale the Image on the Video Scaler

Once your system is connected and you've double checked that audio is still being passed through to the KUDO meeting, use the video scaler controls to adjust the image size and aspect ratio. 

Most video scalers have buttons and a small screen for making adjustments. You can zoom in or crop the image so that only the captions are visible, hiding the rest of the interface for a clean look.

Tip: Many clients prefer scaling the image so the KUDO interface (icons, buttons, etc.) is hidden, leaving just the captions visible on screen.
