VLX-TC1-CF(PZA)
4K 1Gbps AV over IP Transceiver Box (Copper + SFP Slot)
The VLX series provides one of the most advanced IP streaming solutions on the market using Aurora’s IPBaseT® technology, which combines multiple IP/AV standards to work together as one.
It's the industry's first 4K UHD transceiver with a latency of just 1.5 frames (25 ms) and lossless visual compression. Until now, the standard was to use a transmitter (encoder) and a receiver (decoder), respectively. The VLX Series enclosure or wall plates can be configured as either one for ease of installation, inventory, and troubleshooting.
Another industry first is the optional slot for adding other IP capabilities, such as Dante® audio, for a more complete distributed system. Audio, video, data, and control can be securely sent to one or multiple units using a commercially available 1G RJ-45 Ethernet switch. When the VLX is configured as a transmitter, the two HDMI inputs (VLX-TC1-CF, VLX-TCW2H-C) or VGA/HDMI inputs (VLX-TCW2V-2) become a source switch, and the HDMI output becomes a potential loop-out. When configured as a receiver, a user can select either the local HDMI inputs or an IP source. Fast source switching further enhances the presentation (matching source resolutions and frame rates required).
Regardless of how the VLX is configured, audio can be split into any location and/or sent or received from a Dante®-enabled device. The USB port is also flexible, functioning as a KVM switch and/or high-speed (50 Mbps) data transfer for memory cards. Each VLX USB port can also be configured as a host or device.
To keep the system user-friendly, an OSD and integrated web server are available for easy navigation and feature configuration. Digital signage, education, corporate, and residential are just a few of the markets that benefit from the flexibility and low cost of the VLX series.
Note: The selected network switch must support 1 Gbps, non-blocking IGMP packets, and jumbo frames. The raw network cabling and patch cables are just as important as the switch itself.
When using copper, CAT5e, 6, or 6a cable is preferred for optimal performance, and it's important to follow standard rules for installing Ethernet cables. They should not be bent, coiled, placed near power lines, bundled tightly with other LAN cables, etc. Shielding is not required, but it can be used in noisy environments.
