Overview
The Intelix ASW-WP is a two-gang, Decora-style wall plate designed to be the primary PC interface for
classrooms, boardrooms, and conference centers. It features VGA + Audio to HDMI conversion and an
HDMI input. The unit will detect which input has an active video input, and switch to that input –if both
inputs are active, the “last in” will be selected. There are additional contact closure inputs provided on
the rear of the unit to allow third party control. RS232 control of the ASW-WP can be accomplished by
connecting to the RS232 port on a compatible receiver, such as a DIGI-HD60C-R.
The ASW-WP utilizes HDBaseT technology to extend the digital output up to 60 meters away using
standard Cat6 cable. This transmitter device is compatible with several Intelix HDBaseT receivers, but is
designed to work primarily with the DIGI-HD60C-R. The unit features multiple EDID modes to eliminate
user confusion, and incompatible video formats.
The ASW-WP can be powered from the rear panel, or by Power over HDBaseT (PoH). Built-in surge
protection and diagnostic LEDs ensure hassle-free and robust installations. The Auto-Switching Wallplate
also features a customizable power management system, which will put the unit into a low power state
after no video for 30 minutes or being inactive for 3 hours by default.
The ASW-WP can be programmed to control the connected display. The display manufacturer’s RS232
commands can be entered into the ASW-WP with the use of Intelix Display Control software. This allows
display power and input to be automatically controlled based on video activity, eliminating the need for
a third party control system in many installations.

Twisted Pair Output
The ASW-WP includes an HDBaseT Lite extender output.
When used in conjunction with compatible HDBaseT
receivers (see Tech Specs), the signal may be
transmitted up to 60m (200’) away. Additionally, the
user may connect via RS232 to the HDBaseT receiver,
and control the ASW-WP. Connection should be made
using Cat6 unshielded or shielded cable. Please
terminate both ends using EIA/TIA-568B crimp pattern,
as shown in this diagram.
Contact Closure Inputs
The ASW-WP includes dry contact closure (C.C.) inputs to allow different types of manual
switching. These C.C. inputs are intended to be connected directly to relays or switches. To
activate, simply short the associated terminal to the “GND” terminal. The ASW-WP ships from
the factory with a jumper in place between the “AUTO”, and “GND” terminals; this should
remain in place if you wish the unit to switch automatically when a video signal is present.
Normally open, momentary switches should be used.

Device Power
The ASW-WP supports [2] types of power input: PoE and rear panel input. When using PoE, a
compatible HDBaseT receiver can power the ASW-WP by inserting power onto the twisted pair
cable. When using a compatible receiver (such as the DIGI-HD60C-R), there is no need to use
the rear panel power input. If using a different receiver that does not supply power (such as
the DIGI-HD70-R) you must connect power to the rear power input. Using this method, a 5vDC
2a power supply should be used (such as the PS-5D-20TL).
RS232
The ASW-WP can be controlled by RS232
by connecting to a computer’s serial port
or 3rd party control system. The diagram
below shows an example of this
application:
Alternatively –the ASW-WP can be
programmed to control the display via
RS232; more about this feature on p. 17.
Connections for this method would be as
shown in this diagram:

ASW-WP Installation Guide

Basic Operation
Switching
There are [3] methods by which you can control the ASW-WP switching functions:
1. Auto –By placing a jumper, between the “Auto” and
“Gnd” terminals on the back of the ASW-WP, the unit
will switch inputs by sensing video signal.
a. The ASW-WP will switch automatically to the
“last in” connected input. For example: if you
have a VGA signal displayed, and then connect
an HDMI source, the unit will switch to the
HDMI input. If you then remove the HDMI source, the unit will switch back to the
VGA input.
b. You can force the unit to switch to the other input without removing any cables
by disabling the source video that is currently being displayed. For example: if
you have active sources connected to both inputs, and the HDMI input is
currently selected, by pressing (Fn+F8 twice) on the HDMI laptop, the video
output will be disabled, and the ASW-WP will select the VGA input. To return to
the HDMI input, press (Fn+F8 twice) to enable the video output. Depending on
the laptop manufacturer, this operation may alter slightly.
2. Contact Closure Inputs –By connecting momentary switches to the contact closure
inputs (see p.9) you can create push-button control of the input selection on the ASW-
WP.
a. When using “Auto-switching with manual override” (p8, Fig.1) , the unit will
function as described in the “Auto” section above, but pressing one of the
override buttons will cause the unit to switch to the selected input. If there is no
video signal connected to the selected input, you will experience a black video
screen.
b. When using “Manual switching mode” (p8, Fig. 2), the unit will only switch when
the button that corresponds to the input selection is pressed. If no video is
present on the selected input, you will experience a black video screen.
3. RS232 –By connecting the RS232 port of the HDBaseT receiver to a 3rd party control
system, serial commands can perform switching functions, as well as provide greater
information about the units status. RS232 control can be used simultaneously with
“Auto” and “Contact Closure” operation, but not when using the Display Control
functionality.

EDID Management
An essential part of operation is the EDID table, which is transmitted to the source via HDMI
cable from the ASW-WP HDMI input. The ASW-WP units feature a pass through EDID mode for
the HDMI and VGA inputs. The preferred native timing of the display will be transmitted to the
source. For example –if the resolution of the TV connected to the output is 1080p, then the
switcher will request the source to output 1080p. The benefit of this method is that the video
output by the source will be imaged perfectly for the display. Some displays will have a large
number of compatible resolutions, which will show up as a long list on a laptop’s graphic
options; to simplify this list, the ASW-WP features some resolution presets, which will limit the
EDID list to a preferred resolution, with a few other compatible resolutions. To change the
EDID mode:
1. Unplug any input cables (HDMI or VGA)
2. Change the DIP switches using a small flat-blade screwdriver.
3. Plug input cables in.

1,0,1 (Up, Down, Up)
1280x800, 2ch audio
1,1,0 (Up, Up, Down)
1024x768, 2ch audio
HDCP Management
The ASW-WP offers advanced HDCP management to allow greater compatibility with other
devices. The output will always be encrypted or unencrypted, following the status of the
source content (if the content is encrypted, the output of the HDBaseT receiver will be
encrypted; if the content is unencrypted, the output of the HDBaseT receiver will be
unencrypted).
HDMI Input
The ASW-WP ships with the HDMI input
set to “HDCP compliant”. This will work
for most applications; however, the
ASW-WP allows you to set the input to
“Not HDCP compliant”. This is
important for systems using not-
compliant sinks (such as a video
conferencing or recording system). To
set the unit to “Not HDCP compliant”,
simply connect via RS232 to the
HDBaseT receiver as shown in this
diagram, and send the RS232 command
as described on p. 15.
VGA Input
The VGA input will convert analog video to digital and will not add encryption to the content.
For more information about HDCP, please visit www.digital-cp.com

ASW-WP Installation Guide
13
Low Power Mode
The ASW-WP has a low-power or standby mode that it will automatically return to, based upon
input signal and switching activity. In this mode, the HDBaseT chip is off, so an RS232 command
will not “wake” the unit. Dry contact closure or applying an active video signal will wake up the
ASW-WP. The wake up process takes between 6-10 seconds.
1. No video –If the ASW-WP detects no video on either the HDMI or the VGA input for a
set amount of time, the ASW-WP will go into low-power mode. The default time is 30
minutes, which can be adjusted by using the Display Control Software or sending an
RS232 command. The timeout clock is accurate to +/-4%.
2. No activity –If the unit does not switch inputs (auto or contact closure) or communicate
via RS232 for a set amount of time, the ASW-WP will go into low-power mode. The
default time is 3 hours, which can be adjusted by using the Display Control Software.
The timeout clock is accurate to +/-4%.
Changing Low Power Mode Settings
The No Signal and No Activity timeouts can be changed using the Display Control software or by
sending the unit different timeout commands via RS232. Use of the software is described in
detail starting on page 17.
If sending RS232 commands, the Turn Display Control OFF command (DFG0) command needs to
be sent first. To disable the timeout, the next two commands to send to the unit would be
Disable the “No Signal” Timeout (DNS000) and Disable the “No Activity” Timeout (DNA000).
These commands are found on Page 16. There are also other commands to change the
timeouts on that page.

Display Control Software
By using the free software “Intelix Display Control”, the ASW-WP may be used to control power
and input status of the LCD or Projector connected to the HDBaseT receiver (DIGI-HD60C-R).
When the ASW-WP is “woken up” from low-power standby mode, it will send the
preprogrammed “Power ON” command, followed by the “Input Select” command. When the
ASW-WP times out due to lack of video or activity, it will send the preprogrammed “Power Off”
command. This will effectively synchronize the power states of the display and the ASW-WP,
eliminating the need for a 3rd party control system in many systems. Use the following
instructions to configure and program the ASW-WP for this method.
1. Download and install the Intelix Display Control software from the ASW-WP
Documentation and Downloads page at www.intelix.com. An installation guide is
included to assist you with this process.
2. Connect your PC to the display you wish to control
using a serial cable (you may need to use a USB to
serial adaptor if your PC has no COM port).

ASW-WP Installation Guide

3. Open the Intelix Display Control software.
4. Adjust the COM Port to match the PC COM port –it is usually COM1, unless you are
using a USB to Serial adapter.
To find the COM port your USB to serial port
adapter is using –go to START-> Right click on
“Computer” -> select “Properties”

OFF”, and “INPUT SELECT CODE”
into the text fields. If you need to
enter the commands in HEX –select
the check box and enter hex bytes
separated by a space. (see display
manufacturer’s manual to acquire
the codes).
6. Set the baud rate required by the
display
