AVPro Edge MXnet Evolution II Wall Plate Encoder – Switchable HDMI & USB-C Inputs

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge MXNet Evolution II Wall Plate Encoder (AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP) is a wall-plate-form-factor AV-over-IP encoder designed for modern conference rooms and huddle spaces. It features a switchable HDMI and USB-C input, allowing both traditional laptop connections and BYOD USB-C sources to share the same wall plate without adapters. The encoder transmits video and audio over a standard 1G IP network as part of the MXNet Evolution II ecosystem and is not compatible with V1 MXNet systems. This product is ideal for organizations standardizing on EV2 infrastructure who need a clean, low-profile encoder at each source location.

Product Description

The AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP integrates directly into a standard wall plate gang box, keeping conference rooms free of loose transmitters and cable clutter. The switchable HDMI/USB-C input is configured via software, making it straightforward to adapt the wall plate for either a room-permanent HDMI source or a BYOD USB-C laptop connection without hardware changes. Like all MXNet Evolution II endpoints, this encoder connects to a managed 1G switch and is centrally managed through the MXNet controller software, supporting large-scale deployments with dozens or hundreds of zones.

The wall plate design is available in standard single-gang form, and the encoder supports HDCP 2.2, ensuring compatibility with protected content from streaming devices and Blu-ray players. PoE powering eliminates the need for a local power supply, keeping the installation clean and reducing the number of components at the source location.

Key Features

• Switchable HDMI and USB-C Input — Supports both traditional HDMI sources and BYOD USB-C laptops from a single wall plate, eliminating the need for adapters or separate encoder units.
• Wall Plate Form Factor — Installs into a standard single-gang box for a clean, professional appearance in conference rooms and huddle spaces.
• MXNet Evolution II AV-over-IP — Transmits video and audio over standard 1G Ethernet infrastructure managed by the MXNet EV2 controller.
• PoE Powered — Draws power from the network switch via Power over Ethernet, removing the need for a local power adapter at each source location.
• HDCP 2.2 Compliant — Supports HDCP-protected content from streaming media players, Blu-ray, and other protected sources.
• Centralized Management — Configured and monitored through the MXNet Evolution II controller alongside all other encoders and decoders in the system.
• EV2 Exclusive — Designed exclusively for MXNet Evolution II deployments; not backward compatible with V1 MXNet systems.
• Scalable Architecture — Works in systems ranging from a handful of zones to enterprise-wide deployments with hundreds of endpoints.

Typical Applications

• Corporate conference rooms and huddle spaces requiring BYOD USB-C connectivity
• Higher education classrooms with both instructor HDMI and student USB-C connections
• Healthcare facilities standardizing on AV-over-IP for patient room and waiting area displays
• Government and enterprise campuses with large-scale MXNet Evolution II AV distribution systems
• Boardrooms where a clean, low-profile wall plate is required at the presenter location

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this encoder be used with V1 MXNet systems?

No. The AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP is designed exclusively for MXNet Evolution II (EV2) systems and is not compatible with V1 MXNet infrastructure.

How is the HDMI/USB-C input selection handled?

Input switching between HDMI and USB-C is configured through the MXNet Evolution II controller software — no physical hardware change is required at the wall plate.

Does the wall plate require a local power supply?

No. The encoder is powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) from the network switch, so no power adapter is needed at the wall plate location.

What gang size does the wall plate use?

The AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP installs into a standard single-gang electrical box, compatible with common North American and international wall plate mounting systems.

Is this encoder compatible with HDCP-protected content?

Yes. The encoder supports HDCP 2.2, enabling distribution of protected content including streaming media and Blu-ray playback across the MXNet EV2 system.
