It features 3 HDMI inputs, 1 USB-C input, 1 HDMI output, and 1 HDBT output. The switcher supports video up to 4K/60 4:4:4 with HDCP 2.3 compliance and HDBaseT 3.0 extension for uncompressed 4K video, embedded audio, control, and USB over distances up to 330 feet (100 meters). The USB-C input supports DP Alt mode for A/V, USB 2.0, 100M Ethernet, and 60W charging for the source device. All inputs and the local HDMI output support 4K HDR and 4K/60 4:4:4 at HDMI data rates up to 18 Gbps. It also supports downscaling from 4K to 1080p for the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs when connected to an HD sink. The switcher includes USB 2.0 and USB-C interfaces for four host PCs and five peripheral devices such as a camera, microphone, speakerphone, or keyboard and mouse. The receiver also supports local HDMI and USB inputs for BYOD or PC devices. Both the host and receiver support audio de-embedding to analog balanced or unbalanced output.

Web GUI User Guide

The collaboration switcher can be controlled by Web GUI. The operation method is shown as below:

  • Step 1: Get the current IP Address. The default IP address is 192.168.0.100 (when the system is not connected to a router). Youcan get the current Collaboration switch IP address via RS-232 command control. Send the ASCII command “r ip addr” through a Serial Command tool, then you’ll get the current IP address (The IP address is variable, depending on what the specific machine returns). For the details of RS-232 control, please refer to “8. RS-232 Control Command”.
  • Step 2: Connect the TCP/IP port of the collaboration switcher to a PC with an UTP cable (as shown in the following figure), and set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment with the collaboration switcher.VigilLink-VLPT-42H100-Multi-Format-Collaboration-Switcher-FIG-1 (8)
