• iPBaseT Revolutionary 4K2K AV Distribution System

IPBaseT® technology combines 4K uncompressed video with zero-latency seamless

switching, video wall and multiviewer modes, digital audio, USB 2.0, Ethernet, and control.

Utilizing the bandwidth of a standard 10G copper or Fiber Optic networks, iPBaseT supports a

large, seamless UHD Video and audio matrix, and it does so while replacing multiple technologies

and products with a single-box distributed platform. The days of needing a separate AV

switcher, control system, video-wall processor, audio/DSP converter, and more are a

thing of the past!

VLX Series:

The VLX Series Products provides one of the most advanced IP Streaming solutions on the market utilizing

Aurora’s IPBaseT technology, which synergizes various IP/AV standards to work together as one. It is the in-

dustry’s frst 4K UHD transceiver with only 1.5 frame (25ms) latency and visually lossless compression. Te VLX-

TCW2H has 2 HDMI® ports. Using a transmitter (encoder) and receiver (decoder), respectively, used to be the

standard – until now. The VLX Series can be set up as either one to make installation, inventory, and trouble-

shooting easier.

INTRODUCTION

About

The VLX Series provides one of the most advanced IP Streaming solutions on the market utilizing Aurora’s

iPBaseT® technology, which synergizes various IP/AV standards to work together as one. It is the industry’s first

4K UHD transceiver with only 1.5 Frame (25ms) latency and visually losses compression. Using a transmitter

(encoder) and receiver (decoder), respectively, used to be the standard – until now. The VLX Series box or wall

plates can be set up as either one to make installation, inventory, and troubleshooting easier.

Another industry first is the option slot to add other IP capabilities, like Dante® audio, for a more complete,

distributed system. Audio, video, data, and control can be sent securely to one or many units using off-the-shelf

1G RJ-45 Ethernet switch. When the VLX is set up to be a transmitter, the 2 HDMI inputs (VLX-TC1-C, VLX-

TCW2H-C) or VGA/HDMI inputs (VLX-TCW2V-2) become a source switch and the HDMI output becomes a

potential loop out. When set up as a receiver, a user can select the local HDMI inputs or an IP source. Seamless

switching of the sources further enhances the presentation. Regardless of how the VLX is set up, the audio can be

de-embedded at any location, and/or be sent to or received from a Dante® enabled device. The USB is also flexible,

working as a KVM and/or a high-speed data transfer (480Mbps) for memory sticks. Each VLX USB feature can

also be set as a host or a device. To keep the system friendly, an OSD and integrated web server are available for

easy navigation and setup of features.

Digital signage, education, corporate, and residential are just a few markets which benefit from the flexibility and

low cost of the VLX Series.

regular operation and slower pace when in standby.

• Encoder/Decoder – Encoder (transmit) or Decoder (receiver) will be lit when set accordingly.

• HDMI 1/HDMI 2 – Will light accordingly based on input selection. If both are lit, then it is the remote stream

when set as a decoder. If neither is lit, then no source is routed.

• 232 TX/RX – Will blink when RS-232 data is being sent or received.

• IR TX/RX – Will blink when IR signal is being sent or received

• Host/Device – For USB option. Host will be lit if set for PC to be connected to the USB. Device will be lit if set

for peripherals like keyboard or mouse is to be connected.

Miscellaneous

• IR Window – Future use for IR remote and IR Pass through.

• IR Input – For use with external IR Receiver. If utilized, front IR window will become disabled. Note: It is im

portant to use 5V only IR photo receiver which is with carrier and inverted. Use a stereo 3.5mm TRS

connector.
