Key Features
- Scaling of video signals to match the properties of the target display/sink
- Built-in website for device configuration
- Can be remote powered through CATx cable (PoE PD)
- Audio de-embedding and analog audio support
- USB K+M (HID) extension
- Local output and analog video support
Crosspoint View
Available in both the free Lightware Device Controller (LDC) management software and the built-in web.
Video Wall Wizard
The signal can also be switched to a video wall output from several VINX units and acting as a single display.
Easy Pairing
For pairing the units there are physical DIP switches on front, so matching them in a network could not be easier.
Systems with up to 50 Endpoints
VINX can be expanded from a simple to a complex application for the ultimate in virtual matrix switching, digital signage and signal extension.
Built-in USB 2.0 ports
The built-in USB 2.0 ports support K+M function and can also handle USB mass storage.
Advanced EDID Management
The extenders include our Advanced EDID Management system and decoders are capable of scaling the video signal up to 4K UHD @ 30 Hz. RS-232 and IR control channels are supported.
HDCP compliant
The units are HDCP compliant and their streaming maximum bit rate is variable between 10 Mbps and 800 Mbps.The feature options include gap and bezel adjustment and cropping which can be performed in batch.
Smart Bandwidth Management
Selectable Video and Graphic Modes enhance streaming by optimizing compression to match the media, while the Variable Bitrate feature offers precise adjustments for intelligent and efficient bandwidth management.
Silent Operation
The efficient design of all VINX models allows passive, fanless cooling. Unlike other third party models in this product category, VINX have noiseless operation, fitting even the most silent application environments.
The new VINX-120AP-HDMI-ENC-DNT offers independent AES67 support, providing a future-proof solution for any audio signal management scenario. This versatility allows operators to seamlessly integrate audio capabilities, regardless of compatibility with video standards, making it ideal for various applications.
The device's separate RJ-45 port provides two key benefits. It allows audio signal de-embedding from the HDMI source for direct transmission to a Dante/AES67 audio system. Additionally, the port has its own MAC address, ensuring IT security by separating it from the video port.
Fast Switching
The VINX product line now features faster switching times. With firmware v3.2.x and non-HDCP video scaling enabled, signals switch in about a second, greatly enhancing the user experience.
Unchanged Versatility
Features include silent, fan-less cooling, Video Wall processing, Smart Bandwidth Management, crosspoint view, remote configuration via LDC or built-in website, and remote powering via PoE standards.
Remote Powering
The WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC can be powered through a PoE-capable switch, eliminating the need for a local power supply and saving valuable space, making it ideal for wallplate applications.
