Switcher for HDMI® and VGA Inputs with HDBaseT Output The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP is a 2×1 wall plate switcher for HDMI and VGA inputs with HDBaseT output. It features a US, two-gang, Decora form factor with one HDMI and one VGA input with an always-on 3.5mm audio connector. HDMI signals up to 4K/UHD @ 60Hz (YUV 4:2:0 color sub-sampling), VGA input signals up to 1920×1200, embedded audio, and control signals can be extended up to 328 feet (100 meters). The switcher receives power from the AT-HDVS-200-RX scaler via Power over Ethernet and together they create a standalone AV switching and control system with scaling for classrooms and huddle rooms. Display control and volume commands are transmitted via CEC, IP, or RS-232 to any display, control system, switcher or other controllable device.
The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP can be the central component of a small, automated AV system. Automatic display control turns-on the display automatically whenever a source is connected. When the source is removed, the display is turned off. Volume is controlled by using the front panel or other control signals. Automatic input selection on the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP works by sensing the presence of any video signal. With automatic input selection, manual control systems can be eliminated. Using the AT-PS-POE, it can connect directly to Atlona HDBaseT receivers such as the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX or projectors with HDBaseT inputs, enabling simplified control and adding legacy VGA inputs at the HDVS.
The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP combines the benefits of a switcher with built-in automatic display control, auto-switching and the advantages of Ethernet enabled HDBaseT signal transmission over a single cable. The switcher enables input selection and volume control from the front panel, RS-232, or TCP/IP commands. It is a premium upgrade to the AT-HDVS-150-TX-WP, offering advanced functions including IP management, IP and CEC display control, volume control, and contact closure for screen control (when used with the HDVS-200-RX), volume control, and Ethernet-enabled (100 m) HDBaseT performance. The HDVS-200 Series incorporates many integrator-requested features while still maintaining overall value.
Automatic Display Control The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP allows display control using CEC, TCP/IP or RS-232 signals. This means that many more types of displays can be controlled, costs are reduced, and that wiring is simplified. In a commercial setting, when a switcher is integrated with a display, the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP forces the display to power on automatically when a laptop is connected. At the end of the presentation, when the presenter disconnects the laptop, the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP forces the display to power off. Ease of presenter interaction with the system and the savings incurred by auto-display shutdown provide a significant return on investment.
