Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The VX1000 Series Wallplate Transmitter - HDMI, VGA (VX-1002-TX) is a 2-to-1
wallplate HDBaseT transmitter with one HDMI input, one VGA input, and one
HDBaseT output. It enables transmission of an HDMI signal over a single
CAT5e/6 cable up to 328 feet (100 meters) for 1080p HD video and HD Audio
distribution, or 230 feet (70 meters) for 3840 x 2160 @60 4:2:0 8-bit HD video
and HD Audio distribution.
This wallplate HDBaseT transmitter simplifies installation and also creates a clean
seamless look with the décor.
VGA and HDMI inputs are automatically selected and switched when the unit
detects a signal. A smart detection feature prioritizes inputs. You can also switch
the inputs manually—just press the switch button on the front panel of the
transmitter.
The VX-1002-TX also supports bi-directional IR and Ethernet passthrough. It
offers an excellent solution to any commercial or residential environment where
switching between VGA with audio and HDMI over distance is required.
NOTES:
1. Must be used with a compatible receiver (VX-1003-RX or VX-1001-RX).
2. With 48-V PoH integrated inside, the extender pair needs just one power
supply connected to the RX unit to power both units.
