- FOLLOW all instructions.
- DO NOT use this apparatus near water.
- CLEAN ONLY with dry cloth.
- DO NOT block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
- DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
- DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

ESD WARNING

To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are properly grounded before touching any internal materials.
When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD grounding procedures must be followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive smocks, and conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose. These items should not be manufactured locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static discharges, with-out increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.
Anyone performing field maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord.

CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

WARNING: Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Place the equipment near a main power supply outlet and make sure that you can easily access the power breaker switch.
WARNING: This product is intended to be operated ONLY from the voltages listed on the back panel or the recommended, or included, power supply of the product. Operation from other voltages other than those indicated may cause irreversible damage to the product and void the products warranty. The use of AC Plug Adapters is cautioned because it can allow the product to be plugged into voltages in which the product was not designed to operate. If the product is equipped with a detachable power cord, use only the type provided with your product or by your local distributor and/or retailer. If you are unsure of the correct operational voltage, please contact your local distributor and/or retailer.

Overview
The VPX-1701 is an advanced presentation switcher, allowing switching among seven inputs and distribution to two outputs. It offers two VGA inputs with balanced analog audio embedded, five HDMI inputs, one HDMI output to a local display, plus one balanced de-embedded analog audio output and one HDBaseT mirrored output to a remote display via a Cat X cable.
The VPX-1701 has one built-in scaler which supports up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit. The video stream goes through the scaler first before distributing to two outputs. The scaler output can be set to fixed resolution or auto scaling. When set to auto scaling, the scaler analyzes the EDIDs of two connected displays and output optimum resolution for both displays.
The VPX-1701 can be set to auto switching or manual switching. It can be controlled by front panel buttons, LAN control with NetLinx Studio, Telnet API and Web GUI.
Powered by HDBT 2.0 and DSC (Display Stream Compression), the VPX-1701 can transmit 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit video up to 80m/262 ft via a shielded Cat 6a/7 cable, along with USB 2.0 (Host), bidirectional RS232 and IR pass-through. HDBaseT output also features PoE (PSE) to power an HDBT receiver.
The VPX-1701 simplifies integration and installation of a small presentation system for classrooms and small offices, providing localized presentation switching support over long distances.

OSD
The VPX-1701 supports OSD (On Screen Display) to display its IP address. Follow these steps to initiate OSD:
- Press and Hold the front panel buttons VGA IN 1 and VGA IN 2 for at least 3 seconds.
- The IP address of the VPX-1701 will display on the upper right of the connected display's screen for about 15s and then disappear.

Input Source Switching
The VPX-1701 supports Auto and Manual Switching among the VGA and HDMI inputs.
Auto Switching
- When multiple sources are inserted, and power is ON for all devices, the input will be switched to the active source with the highest priority.
- Priority: VGA IN 1 > VGA IN 2 > HDMI IN 3 > HDMI IN 4 > HDMI IN 5 > HDMI IN 6 > HDMI IN 7
- When a new source is inserted, the input will be switched to it automatically, following the Last-In-First-Out rule.
- When the currently selected source is removed, the input will first be switched to the most recently selected port. If the port has no active source, the input will be switched to the active source with the highest priority.
Note:
- When in Auto Switching, Input Select buttons do not function. To use input select buttons, disable Auto Switching.
• The Auto Switching function is enabled by default once all devices are powered on.
• You can enable or disenable Auto Switching through command setting or WEB UI on NetLinx.
Manual Switching
If you want to select a specific input port using selection buttons:
- Disable Auto Switching through command setting or WEB UI on NetLinx.
- Press the appropriate Input Button to select a desired input port. When an inactive port is selected, the VPX-1701 will output no signal.

IR Operation
The IR pass-through function allows remote control of the source from the display location or the display from the source location.
Control the Source
To control the source from the display location:
- Connect an IR emitter to IR port of the VPX-1701;
- Connect a broadband IR receiver to the IR IN port of an HDBT receiver.
When the connections are complete, the source can be controlled at the display location through a source remote.

RS232 Operation
The RS232 port of the VPX-1701 can be used for bi-directional RS232 signal pass-through between the VPX-1701 and an HDBT receiver. To set up for RS232 pass-through:
- Connect an RS232 Server (or Client) Device to the RS232 port of the VPX-1701 with an RS232 cable (See Pinout Information Section for RS232 wiring);
- Connect an RS232 Client (or Server) Device to the RS232 port of an HDBT receiver with an RS232 cable.
- Connect HDBT OUT of the VPX-1701 to HDBT IN of the HDBT receiver with a Cat 5e/6/7 cable.
When the connections are completed, RS232 signal can be passed through bi-directionally between two RS232 devices.
