Lightware WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC Wallplate AV Over IP Scaling Multimedia Extender with USB K+M and PoE support (Black) - 91810023

Product Overview

The Lightware WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC (Black) is a single-gang wallplate AV-over-IP encoder in a black finish, transmitting HDMI video and USB keyboard and mouse data over a standard Gigabit Ethernet network to any number of VINX decoder endpoints. Designed for corporate and media environments where black hardware finish is specified, the unit is powered entirely over PoE from the network switch, eliminating local power wiring at the wall. It integrates directly with Lightware's VINX platform and is managed through Lightware Device Manager software.

Product Description

The WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC Black version is functionally identical to the white variant but finished in black to match installations where dark-finish AV hardware is specified — common in media production environments, executive boardrooms with custom millwork, and facilities with black wallplate standards. It installs in a standard single-gang electrical box and presents a flush, professional appearance consistent with high-end interior design requirements.

The encoder accepts one HDMI source and compresses it using the Lightware VINX codec for transmission over 1GbE. A single encoder can simultaneously feed multiple VINX decoder endpoints, making it suitable for large-scale distribution systems where one source room feeds multiple display zones. USB keyboard and mouse pass-through over IP enables control of a remote rack-mounted PC from the wallplate location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the black version functionally different from the white version?

No. The WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC Black (91810023) and White (91810024) are identical in functionality and specifications. The only difference is the wallplate finish color.

Does the unit require a local power supply at the wall?

No. The unit is powered entirely via PoE from the network switch. No separate power cable is needed at the wall location, keeping the installation clean and reducing conduit requirements.

How many decoder endpoints can one encoder feed?

A single encoder can distribute to multiple simultaneous VINX decoder endpoints across the network. The practical limit is determined by network capacity and switch multicast configuration.

What network switch requirements apply?

A managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with IGMP snooping enabled is required to properly handle multicast traffic. Unmanaged switches may cause excessive multicast flooding.

Can the USB port support devices other than keyboards and mice?

The USB port supports HID-class devices only — keyboards and mice. Other USB device classes such as mass storage or webcams are not passed over the IP link.

Is a specific Lightware decoder required?

Yes. The VINX codec is proprietary to Lightware. Compatible decoders include the MX-VINX-110P and other VINX-series decoder units. Third-party decoders are not compatible.
