Lightware WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC Wallplate AV Over IP Scaling Multimedia Extender with USB K+M and PoE support (White) - 91810024

Product Overview

The Lightware WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC (White) is a single-gang wallplate AV-over-IP encoder that transmits HDMI video, USB keyboard and mouse signals, and control data across a standard Gigabit Ethernet network using the VINX codec. Designed for corporate conference rooms, university classrooms, and large-scale AV distribution systems, the encoder accepts an HDMI source and delivers it to any number of VINX decoder endpoints over a managed network infrastructure. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support eliminates the need for a local power supply, keeping the wallplate installation clean and code-compliant.

Product Description

The WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC integrates directly into a standard single-gang wall box, presenting a professional white finish consistent with architectural standards in corporate and education facilities. The unit accepts one HDMI input and encodes the signal for transmission over a 1GbE network, enabling one-to-many distribution to VINX decoder endpoints without distance limitations beyond those imposed by the network infrastructure.

USB keyboard and mouse pass-through over IP allows a presenter at the wall to control a remote computer located in a rack room or server closet, supporting wireless keyboard and mouse workflows in collaboration spaces. The integrated scaler adjusts the source signal to match the display's native resolution, reducing compatibility issues between sources and screens of differing resolutions.

The VINX platform is managed through Lightware's Device Manager software, providing IT and AV administrators a unified view of all encoders and decoders on the network. Available from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware partner in North America.

Key Features

• AV-over-IP encoding — transmits HDMI video over standard 1GbE Ethernet infrastructure to unlimited VINX decoder endpoints
• Single-gang wallplate form factor — installs in a standard electrical box with a white finish that suits corporate and educational interiors
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) — receives power from the network switch, eliminating local power wiring at the wallplate
• USB K+M extension — passes keyboard and mouse data over IP to control a remote PC in a rack room or AV closet
• Integrated scaling — adjusts source resolution to display native resolution, reducing compatibility issues
• One-to-many distribution — a single encoder feeds multiple simultaneous decoder endpoints across the network
• Lightware Device Manager — centralized management of all VINX devices from a single software interface
• HDCP support — handles protected content from corporate and consumer HDMI sources
• Low-latency codec — VINX compression minimizes latency for real-time presentation workflows

Typical Applications

• Corporate AV distribution systems routing signals from boardrooms and conference rooms to digital signage and overflow displays
• University lecture capture and distribution across campus building networks
• Huddle rooms and collaboration spaces with rack-mounted PCs controlled remotely via USB K+M
• Training centers requiring flexible many-to-many video distribution without dedicated matrix switcher hardware

Frequently Asked Questions

How many displays can one encoder feed simultaneously?

The VINX system supports one-to-many distribution. A single WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC encoder can feed multiple VINX decoder endpoints simultaneously, limited only by network capacity and switch configuration.

Does the wallplate require a local power supply?

No. The unit is powered entirely over PoE from a compliant 802.3af or 802.3at network switch, so no separate power wiring is needed at the wall location.

Can the USB port be used for devices other than keyboards and mice?

The USB port is designed specifically for keyboard and mouse (HID class devices). Mass storage, webcams, and other USB device classes are not supported over the IP link.

Is the encoder compatible with non-Lightware decoders?

The VINX codec is a Lightware proprietary format. Decoders must be Lightware VINX-series units (such as the MX-VINX-110P) for full compatibility.

What network requirements apply?

A managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with multicast support (IGMP snooping enabled) is required. Unmanaged switches may cause multicast flooding that degrades network performance.

Does the white wallplate match standard AV or electrical faceplate standards?

The WP-VINX-110P is designed to fit a standard single-gang electrical box and matches the profile of common white wallplate covers used in corporate and education installations.

Where can I buy the WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC in white?

It is available from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware dealer serving commercial AV integrators across North America.
