Atlona Two-Input Wall Plate HDBaseT Transmitter for HDMI and VGA With Ethernet - AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP is a two-input HDBaseT wallplate transmitter that combines a 2x1 HDMI and VGA switcher with HDBaseT extension in a US two-gang form factor for flush installation in walls, lecterns, and floor boxes. It transmits 4K/UHD video (up to 4K/60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling), audio, Ethernet, RS-232, and control signals over a single CAT6a/7 cable run up to 330 feet (100 meters) to a compatible HDBaseT receiver or switcher. Designed for commercial conference rooms, classrooms, and corporate meeting spaces, the HDVS-200-TX-WP supports automatic input selection and automatic display power control, reducing the need for a separate control system and simplifying room automation. It is remotely powered over HDBaseT by a compatible Atlona receiver or switcher such as the AT-OME-RX11, eliminating local AC power requirements at the wall plate.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP is a wallplate-format 2x1 AV switcher and HDBaseT transmitter that accepts one HDMI source and one VGA source with analog audio, providing a single HDBaseT output for extension to a display or matrix switcher. Its US two-gang enclosure installs in standard wallplate openings and ships with a white faceplate; an interchangeable faceplate with an exposed Ethernet port opening is also included for environments that require direct network access at the wall. The unit transmits 4K/UHD video at 60 Hz (4:2:0) or 30 Hz (4:4:4), plus embedded audio, RS-232, Ethernet, and control over a single category cable to a compatible Atlona HDBaseT receiver such as the AT-OME-RX11, or to Atlona HDBaseT-equipped switchers and matrix switchers. Automatic input selection uses both 5V hot plug detect (HPD) and active video detection to reliably switch between HDMI and VGA sources, including DisplayPort adapters and devices that maintain the HPD line when not displaying content. Automatic display control allows the wall plate to trigger a connected display to power on when a laptop is connected and power off when it is disconnected, via TCP/IP, RS-232, or CEC, without a dedicated control system. Front panel buttons provide manual input selection, display on/off control, and volume up/down for presenter convenience. The two-channel analog audio input can be assigned to either video input and embedded into the HDBaseT stream; audio-only playback without a video signal is also supported. The unit is remotely powered via IEEE 802.3af PoE from the AT-OME-RX11 or compatible Atlona device over HDBaseT, eliminating AC wiring at the wall plate location. HDCP 2.2 compliance is supported when paired with an HDCP 2.2-capable receiver, and HDCP 1.4 when used with legacy receivers. The device supports TCP/IP and RS-232 control for integration with third-party control systems and is manageable via Atlona Velocity Device Manager for enterprise-scale configuration and monitoring. An integrated HDBaseT link status monitoring function provides real-time cable integrity data via the web GUI. The HDVS-200-TX-WP is part of the Atlona HDVS Series and is also available in black as the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK.

• Automatic Input Selection — Uses 5V HPD and active video detection for reliable auto-switching between HDMI and VGA sources, including DVRs, DisplayPort adapters, and always-hot HPD devices.
• Automatic Display Control — Triggers connected display power on/off based on source connection status via TCP/IP, RS-232, or CEC, reducing dependence on a dedicated control system.
• Remote Powering via HDBaseT — IEEE 802.3af PoE Powered Device (PD); receives power from AT-OME-RX11 or compatible Atlona device over the HDBaseT cable, eliminating local AC wiring at the wall.
• Front Panel Controls — Input select, display on/off, volume up, and volume down buttons provide direct presenter control without requiring a separate control interface.
• HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 Compliant — Supports protected content streams; HDCP 2.2 when paired with an HDCP 2.2-compliant receiver, HDCP 1.4 with legacy receivers.
• TCP/IP and RS-232 Control — Compatible with third-party control systems; manageable via Atlona Velocity Device Manager over LAN, WAN, or VPN.
• Integrated HDBaseT Link Status Monitoring — Web GUI provides real-time link quality, HDMI signal data, and cable diagnostics for streamlined commissioning and troubleshooting.
• EDID and HDCP Management — Manages EDID communications between source and switcher to ensure correct resolution delivery; HDCP compliance can be toggled via Velocity for non-protected content workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What receiver is required to use the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP?

The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP is designed for use with the AT-OME-RX11 4K HDBaseT receiver. It is also compatible with Atlona HDBaseT-equipped switchers and matrix switchers including the AT-OME-RX21, AT-OME-RX31, AT-OME-PS62, AT-UHD-SW-5000ED, and AT-UHD-CLSO-824. The receiver or switcher must supply IEEE 802.3af PoE to power the wall plate.

Q: Does the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP require local AC power at the wall?

No. The unit is an IEEE 802.3af PoE Powered Device (PD) and receives all operating power over the HDBaseT cable from a compatible Atlona receiver or switcher. This eliminates the need for an AC outlet at the wall plate installation point, reducing installation time and cost.

Q: Can the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP switch between HDMI and VGA sources automatically?

Yes. The unit uses both 5V hot plug detect (HPD) signal detection and active video detection for automatic input selection. This approach ensures reliable switching even for sources that maintain the HPD line at 5V without actively delivering video, such as certain DVRs and DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters. The front panel INPUT button can override auto-switching when multiple active sources are present.

Q: How does automatic display control work without a third-party control system?

The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP can send power-on commands to a connected display via TCP/IP, RS-232, or CEC when a source is detected, and power-off commands when the source is removed. This provides basic room automation—display on with presenter connection and display off on disconnect—without a dedicated control processor. A third-party control system can also trigger these commands externally.

Q: What category cable is required for 4K/UHD transmission at full distance?

CAT6a or CAT7 shielded twisted pair cable is required to achieve 4K/UHD transmission at 330 feet (100 meters). CAT5e or CAT6 cable supports 4K/UHD at up to 230 feet (70 meters) and 1080p at up to 330 feet (100 meters). STP cable is strongly recommended for all commercial installations.

Q: Can the VGA audio input be used without a VGA video signal present?

Yes. The two-channel analog audio input can be assigned to either the HDMI or VGA video input and supports audio-only playback without an active video signal. This allows background music or paging audio to pass through the system independently of the video source selection.

Q: How is the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP managed in a multi-room enterprise installation?

The unit is compatible with Atlona Velocity Device Manager, a network-based software platform that allows remote configuration, monitoring, and firmware management of multiple IP-controllable Atlona devices across a LAN, WAN, or VPN from a standard web browser. This is available as a free virtual machine download or as part of the Atlona Velocity control system.

Q: Is a black version of this wall plate available?

Yes. The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK is the black variant of this product and is functionally identical. Both models ship with interchangeable faceplates. Visit creationnetworks.net to check availability of both color options.
