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, 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.

Multi-format AV Switching
The switching among 4 inputs (1x VGA, 1x HDBaseT, and 2x HDMI) to 2x outputs (1x HDBaseT and 1x HDMI) and support of HDMI, stereo, and microphone audio inputs to TOSLink, stereo, and HDMI audio outputs enable flexible interface/format conversion.

True 4K Support with HDR
Supports True 4K resolution with High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology that provides high-performance signal switching, routing and extension to deliver the ultimate visual experience with exceptional sharp and vibrant video quality.

Extended AV Transmission
The HDBaseT-Lite technology extends uncompressed video, audio as well as control signal and power over one CAT-6/6a cable up to 230 feet (70 m).

Built-in Audio DSP
In addition to the audio embedding and de-embedding, VP1421 supports microphone input with selectable 48V Phantom Power and allows microphone input to be mixed with program audio and embedded into display output.

True 4K, HDR Visual Clarity
Supports resolutions up to 4096x2160 @ 60Hz (4:4:4) and HDR to deliver vivid content in every presentation.

Smooth AV Switching Scaled to Perfection
Connect up to 4 sources (1x HDBaseT, 2x HDMI, 1x VGA), smoothly switch between them and display contents scaled perfectly to True 4K and 1080p simultaneously.

HDBaseT Extended Transmission over One Cable
Simplifies cabling and transmits AV, power, and bi-directional RS-232 and IR control signals up to 140m via CAT-6/6a or ATEN 2L-2910 CAT-6 cables (applying both HDBaseT input and output ports).

Built-in Advanced 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 while automatically reducing program audio to enhance speech audibility.

Flexible Audio Embedding / De-Embedding
Supports stereo audio embedding into HDMI output or separation to Audio Line Out and Optical Audio Out. Extract HDMI and HDBaseT audio to different audio outputs as well to ease adaptation to you preferred audio setup.

Versatile Control, Streamlined Operations
Control via front-panel pushbuttons, IR remote, web-based GUI and any control interface via RS-232, Ethernet, and Contact Closure to streamline your operations.

Analog/Digital AV Matrix Switching
• Supports multi-format 4 Inputs – 2x HDMI, 1x HDBaseT, and 1x VGA inputs
• 1x HDMI and 1x 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 4096x2160 @ 60Hz (4:4:4) (HDMI) / 4096x2160 @ 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 2.0 (3D, Deep Color, 4K); HDCP 2.2 compliant

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
