AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP-B – Black Wall Plate Encoder

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP-B is a black Decora-style wall plate encoder for the MXnet 1G Evolution II AV-over-IP ecosystem, giving integrators a low-profile source input point for conference rooms, huddle rooms, and BYOD collaboration spaces. Switchable HDMI and USB-C inputs let presenters connect a laptop through either connector without needing a separate adapter at the table. Built on AVPro Edge's Evolution II platform, the encoder delivers 4K/60fps 4:4:4 8-bit video with JPEG 2000 compression for visually lossless, ultra-low-latency distribution over a standard network switch. Because it mounts in a wall plate rather than an equipment rack, this AV-over-IP encoder is a common choice for AV system designers minimizing visible equipment in finished meeting spaces. A white version (AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP) is also available for lighter architectural finishes.

Product Description

Modern conference rooms increasingly need a discreet, wall-mounted way to get a laptop's video signal onto the network, and the AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP-B answers that need with a black Decora wall plate housing designed to blend into a standard electrical faceplate. The encoder includes switchable HDMI and USB-C inputs, with the USB-C connection supporting both DisplayPort Alt-mode video and USB 2.0 data over a single cable, which covers most modern laptops without requiring a separate USB-C to HDMI adapter at the table. Built on AVPro Edge's MXnet 1G Evolution II platform, it encodes source video using a proprietary M-JPEG-based codec capable of 4K/60fps 4:4:4 8-bit output, with support for 10- and 12-bit deep color formats including HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision. End-to-end system latency runs approximately one video frame (16ms) at 60Hz, and enabling Ultra Low Latency Mode brings that down to as little as 4ms, which matters for interactive whiteboarding and fast-switching presentation scenarios. A built-in preview sub-stream lets integrators view connected sources directly in the CBOX Mentor interface or a third-party control system UI, useful for confirming a presenter is connected before switching a display. The encoder also carries USB and KVM extension, letting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and webcams pass over the same network connection to a remote computer. Control signal routing through the MXnet API extends command and control to third-party displays and source devices in the room, reducing the number of separate control wiring runs an integrator needs to pull. Power comes via PoE (IEEE 802.3af), which eliminates the need for a local power outlet behind the wall plate in most installations. For AV system designers standardizing on the MXnet 1G Evolution II ecosystem across multiple conference rooms, huddle rooms, or training rooms, the black wall plate finish gives a design option to match darker architectural finishes without changing the encoder's underlying performance.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP-B compatible with MXnet 1G V1 decoders?
No. Evolution II encoders and decoders are not compatible with MXnet 1G V1 systems; pair this encoder with MXnet 1G Evolution II decoders on the same network.

What network switch requirements does this encoder have?
It requires a standard 1GbE PoE-capable network switch (IEEE 802.3af, 15.4W) supporting IGMP for multicast AV-over-IP traffic.

Can this wall plate encoder be installed without an electrician?
Wall plate installation typically requires low-voltage cabling to a PoE switch; installation in a standard electrical box should follow local electrical code and is commonly handled by a licensed low-voltage installer.

Does the USB-C input support both video and data simultaneously?
Yes, on hardware revision B or newer, the USB-C input supports DisplayPort Alt-mode video along with USB 2.0 data through a single connection.

What warranty does this encoder carry?
AVPro Edge provides a 10-year product warranty on the AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP-B.

Can I integrate this encoder with a third-party control system?
Yes. The MXnet API and RS-232/control ports allow integration with common commercial control processors.

Is the Decora wall plate cover interchangeable?
The Decora form factor is available on hardware revision C or newer, and AVPro Edge offers color-change wall plate covers as separate accessories.
