Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The Presentation Switcher - HDBaseT, 4 x 1 is an advanced four-input, multi-format

converter, switcher, scaler, and extender with built-in 4K scaling, in a compact 1U

half-rack enclosure. It offers two HDMI inputs, one DP input, one VGA input with ste-

reo audio, an HDMI with HDBaseT mirrored output to allow signal extension over CATx

cable to reach a remote display, or an additional HDBaseT signal management system.

One balanced stereo audio breaks out from HDMI output.

NOTE: Scaling is only supported on HDMI output. For scaling on HDBaseT output,

please use with VX-1003-TX scaling receiver.

The Switcher supports auto switching and has a built-in 4K @ 30 Hz scaler in HDMI

output, with rotary switch scaler adjustment, and allows seamless switching to enhance

presentations. Its built-in CEC controller automatically turns the display on/standby by

auto-detecting the input signal status. You can also control the Switcher via pushbut-

tons on the front panel, contact closures, and RS-232 API.

The Switcher simplifies classroom and small office system integration, for installation

beneath conference tables and in lecterns, to provide localized presentation switching

support.

stereo audio out.

• Mirrors out HDBaseT, and supports PoH with PSE module to power the remote

HDBaseT receiver.
