4 x 2 True 4K Presentation Matrix Switch with Scaling, DSP, and HDBaseT-Lite

The ATEN VP1421 is a multi-in-one presentation switch that integrates a video matrix switch, 4K scaler *, HDBaseT extender, audio DSP, and analog-to-digital converter functions into one compact device that easily mounts under a table or in a rack. With four analog/digital inputs to one HDBaseT and one HDMI True 4K outputs, it is designed to boost the efficiency and impact of professional presentations.

With streamlined control from front-panel pushbuttons, IR remote controller, RS-232, and web-based GUI via Ethernet, the VP1421 reduces not only system device count, but also lowers operation complexity. It is suitable for all meeting spaces and education environments, such as huddle rooms, classrooms, training rooms, or any other presentation setting, such as in exhibition galleries or hotels.

Note : The VP1421 scaler only supports upscaling 1080p to 4K for display A, and downscaling 4K to 1080p for display B. Other resolution scaling is inapplicable.

• Analog/Digital AV Matrix Switching
  • Supports multi-format 4 Inputs – 2 HDMI, 1 HDBaseT, and 1 VGA inputs
  • 1 HDMI and 1 HDBaseT outputs
  • Audio embedding – stereo audio can be embedded into display output or separated to stereo line out and optical audio outputs
  • Audio de-embedding – HDMI/HDBaseT audio can be extracted to stereo line out
  • Built-in Audio DSP – supports microphone input with selectable 48V Phantom Power and allows microphone input to be mixed with program audio and embedded into display output
  • Automatically reduces program audio when a microphone signal is detected
  • Auto switching – automatically detects and switches to a new source as soon as it is connected

• High-definition Video with Optimum Output
  • Superior video quality – True 4K resolutions up to 4096 x 2160@60Hz (4:4:4) (HDMI) / 4096 x 2160@60Hz (4:2:0) (HDBaseT)
  • Supports 4K HDR
  • Scaler* – supports video upscaling to 4K for display A and downscaling to 1080p for display B
  • EDID Expert™ – automatically selects the optimum EDID settings for smooth power-up, high-quality display, and the best video resolution across connected devices
  • HDMI (3D, Deep Color, 4K); HDCP 2.2 compliant
    
    Note : The VP1421 scaler only supports upscaling 1080p to 4K for display A, and downscaling 4K to 1080p for display B. Other resolution scaling is inapplicable.

• Versatile, Streamlined Operation
  • Multiple control options – flexible control via front-panel pushbuttons, IR remote control, RS-232, and web-based GUI through Ethernet
  • View and control via ATEN Video Presentation Control App in a swift and agile way
  • Bi-directional RS-232 and IR channel – allows AV device control over HDBaseT connection without additional cabling
  • Supports stand-by mode for power saving and fast waking up
  • Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) support
  • Built-in Contact in and LED out for keypad control using VPK104 Contact Closure Remote Pad

• Extended Transmission over One Cable
  • Long-distance transmission – transmit digital AV signal, bi-directional RS-232, and IR control signals up to 140m* via Cat 6/6a or ATEN 2L-2910 Cat 6 cables
  • Power over HDBaseT (POH) – remote powering over existing communication cable with selectable powering device
    
    Note: This is achieved using both the HDBaseT In and the HDBaseT Out ports on the VP1421, each extending the transmission up to 70m.
