Atlona Two-Input Wall Plate Switcher for HDMI and VGA Sources (Black) - AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK is a two-input HDBaseT wall plate transmitter and switcher designed for professional AV integration in classrooms, huddle rooms, and conference spaces. This HDBaseT wallplate switcher combines HDMI and VGA input switching with AV signal extension up to 330 feet (100 meters) over category cable — all within a US two-gang wallplate form factor finished in black. The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK delivers 4K/UHD capability at 60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling when paired with a compatible HDBaseT receiver such as the AT-OME-RX11, making it a practical solution for BYOD presentation switcher and HDBaseT room integration deployments.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK is a 2×1 HDBaseT switcher and transmitter in a US two-gang wallplate enclosure, providing a clean and inconspicuous installation point at any wall, lectern, furniture cutout, or floor box location. It accepts one HDMI input and one VGA input (with stereo audio), transmitting the selected signal — along with control data and Ethernet — up to 330 feet (100 meters) over CAT6a/7 cable to a compatible HDBaseT receiver or Atlona switcher. The unit ships with interchangeable black and white wallplates and faceplates, including options with the Ethernet port opening concealed or exposed. Automatic input selection uses hot plug detect and active video detection to reliably switch to a connected source with no user intervention, accommodating all video source types including those that maintain a constant 5V HPD signal. Automatic display control eliminates the need for a separate control system by triggering display power on when a source connects and power off when it disconnects — controllable via TCP/IP, RS-232, or CEC. Front panel buttons allow manual input selection, display on/off, and volume control directly on the wallplate. The device is remotely powered over HDBaseT by the AT-OME-RX11 or other compatible Atlona receiver, eliminating the need for a local power supply at the wallplate location. TCP/IP and RS-232 control options provide compatibility with Crestron, AMX, and other third-party control systems. EDID management ensures reliable source compatibility, while field-updatable firmware via USB supports long-term maintenance.

Key Features

• US Two-Gang Wallplate Form Factor — Installs directly into standard two-gang wallplate openings on walls, in furniture, or in floor boxes; includes interchangeable black and white wallplates and faceplates.
• 2×1 HDMI and VGA Switcher — Accepts one HDMI input and one VGA input with stereo audio; audio can be assigned to either video input and supports audio-only playback without an active video signal.
• HDBaseT Transmission up to 330 Feet — Extends AV, RS-232, and Ethernet up to 330 feet (100 meters) over CAT6a/7 cable, or up to 230 feet (70 meters) over CAT5e/6.
• 4K/UHD at 60 Hz Capability — Supports 4K/60 4:2:0 video when paired with the AT-OME-RX11 or other compatible HDCP 2.2 HDBaseT receiver; compatible with 4K/30 4:4:4 sources.
• Automatic Input Selection — Detects connected and active sources via hot plug detect and video detection; automatically switches without user intervention, even for sources with constant HPD signals.
• Automatic Display Control — Powers displays on and off based on source connectivity via TCP/IP, RS-232, or CEC; eliminates the need for a dedicated control system in simple room configurations.
• Remote Power via HDBaseT — IEEE 802.3af PoE Powered Device (PD); powered by the AT-OME-RX11 or compatible Atlona receiver over the HDBaseT link, eliminating local AC power requirements.
• Front Panel Controls — Input select, display on/off, and volume +/- buttons provide manual presenter control directly at the wallplate.
• HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 Compliance — HDCP 2.2 compliant when paired with an HDCP 2.2 receiver such as the AT-OME-RX11; HDCP 1.4 compliant with the AT-HDVS-200-RX; HDCP management can be disabled via Velocity for non-compliant environments.
• TCP/IP and RS-232 Control — Flexible control integration for compatibility with third-party AV control systems and room automation platforms.
• EDID Management — Forces preferred source resolutions and audio formats; ensures consistent output across different source devices.
• Velocity Device Manager Compatible — Remotely configurable, manageable, and firmware-updatable via Atlona Velocity Device Manager over LAN, WAN, or VPN.

Typical Applications

• Classroom and lecture room AV integration with HDMI laptop and VGA legacy source connectivity
• Huddle room and small conference room HDBaseT extension with automatic display control
• Corporate meeting spaces with built-in BYOD presentation switching at lecterns and wall locations
• Larger AV systems requiring remote wallplate input switching into central Atlona matrix switchers
• Floor box and furniture installations requiring inconspicuous two-gang form factor
• Retrofit installations needing VGA compatibility alongside modern HDMI sources

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What receiver is recommended for use with the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK?

The primary recommended receiver is the AT-OME-RX11, which supports 4K/UHD with HDCP 2.2 and provides remote power to the transmitter over HDBaseT. The unit is also compatible with Atlona matrix switchers featuring HDBaseT inputs, such as the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED and CLSO Series.

Q: Does the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK require a local power supply?

No. The transmitter is remotely powered over the HDBaseT link by the AT-OME-RX11 or other compatible Atlona receiver, conforming to IEEE 802.3af PoE. No local AC outlet is required at the wallplate location.

Q: Can the unit automatically power a display on and off?

Yes. The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK supports automatic display control via TCP/IP, RS-232, or CEC. The display powers on when a source connects and powers off when the source is disconnected, without requiring a separate control processor.

Q: Does the black wallplate ship with a white faceplate option?

Yes. The AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK includes both black and white wallplates, plus interchangeable faceplates in both colors — each available with the Ethernet port opening exposed or concealed. The unit ships with a white faceplate installed and the Ethernet port concealed.

Q: What cable type is required for 4K/UHD transmission at maximum distance?

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

Q: Is the AT-HDVS-200-TX-WP-BLK compatible with Crestron or AMX control systems?

Yes. TCP/IP and RS-232 control interfaces provide compatibility with Crestron, AMX, and other third-party control systems. Control drivers are available through Atlona and third-party control system providers.

Q: Can audio be played back without an active video signal?

Yes. The two-channel audio input can be assigned to either video input and supports audio-only playback, allowing background music or paging audio without requiring an active video source.
