Expanding the integration and interface options for its HDVS-200 Series of full-
featured HDBaseT AV solutions, Atlona is now shipping a new black version of the
AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK 2×1 wall plate switcher for HDMI and VGA inputs with
HDBaseT output. Ideal as the central component of small, automated AV systems or
as a remote input device for larger switcher applications, the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-
BLK combines auto-switching with built-in automatic display control and the single-
cable simplicity of Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT signal transmission. Multiple included
face plate options allow the wall plate switcher to blend inconspicuously into many
environments.
The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK features one HDMI input, one VGA input and one
always-on 3.5mm audio connection, enabling legacy VGA sources to be used with
advanced HDMI display devices. HDMI signals up to 4K/UHD at 60Hz, VGA input
signals up to 1920×1200, embedded audio, and control signals can be extended up
to 328 feet (100 meters).
Eliminating the need for complex control systems in small AV installations, the AT-
HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK’s automatic display control turns projectors and monitors on
and off automatically when a source is connected or removed, with these and other
control signals transmitted via CEC, IP or RS-232. The unit also incorporates video
signal detection technology to automatically switch to the active input when a
source is connected, with a manual input selection button enabling users to override
auto-switching when two active sources are present. Additional buttons provide user
convenience, including volume and manual display power control.
Paired with Atlona’s AT-HDVS-200-RX Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT scaler, the AT-
HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK forms a complete system for automatic HDMI and VGA
source switching, HDBaseT transmission, scaling and control functions in
classrooms, huddle rooms and small conference rooms. For larger-scale systems
and environments, it can serve as a remote input device for switchers with
HDBaseT inputs including Atlona’s flagship AT-UHD-CLSO-840 4K matrix switcher, or
for direct routing to HDBaseT displays and projectors. TCP/IP and RS-232 support
provide flexible options for compatibility with third-party control systems.
“The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK is Atlona’s answer to the most heavily requested
features sought by systems integrators in a wall plate switcher – without a
preventative price point,’ said Steve Kolta, product manager, Atlona. “Compact and
inconspicuous, the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK provides our customers with flexible
auto-switching, scaling and control functions – along with the diverse IP-based
configuration/management and HDBaseT connectivity options installers require in
corporate, education and other AV environments today.’
The PoE-powered AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK features a U.S., two-gang, Decora form
factor and ships with multiple interchangeable black and white face plates, allowing
inconspicuous installation. Black and white face plate options allow integrators to
expose the convenient, front-mounted RJ-45 Ethernet port for additional design
flexibility. The wall plate switcher can be configured and managed with the free
Atlona Management System (AMS) network software platform, reducing installation
time and enabling remote monitoring and support over a LAN, WAN or VPN.
The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK is now shipping at a suggested retail price of
$669.99. Like all HDVS-200 Series products, it includes Atlona’s award-winning 10-
year limited product warranty and customer support services, enabling integrators
to specify, purchase, and install with confidence.
