Overview

The KanexPro WP-HDBASETX is a 2-gang Decora-style HDBaseT wall plate transmitter for mixed HDMI and legacy VGA environments. Accepting one HDMI 1.4 and one VGA + 3.5mm audio input, it automatically selects the active source and extends the signal up to 230 feet (70 meters) over a single shielded CAT6 cable to a compatible HDBaseT receiver (sold separately). A built-in VGA scaler automatically matches the VGA input to the display's native resolution — supporting outputs up to 1920×1080 — eliminating resolution mismatch issues common in mixed-source rooms.

Purpose-built for classrooms, lecture halls, and boardrooms where both modern HDMI laptops and legacy VGA workstations must connect to the same display system, the WP-HDBASETX supports Power over HDBaseT (PoH) so the transmitter can be powered remotely from the receiver — removing the need for local AC at the wall plate. RS-232 control enables integration with third-party room control systems and supports full bidirectional command pass-through to the display. A locking HDMI connector prevents accidental disconnection in high-traffic installations. Matte anodized aluminum dual-gang form factor. FCC Class A certified.

2-Gang HDMI & VGA HDBaseT Wall Plate Transmitter with Scaler, RS-232 & PoH applications
What inputs does the wall plate take?
One HDMI on a 19-pin Type A female, one VGA on an HD-15 female, and analog stereo on a 3.5mm mini-jack for the VGA source.
What is in the box?
The 4K wall plate HDBaseT transmitter, four mounting screws, a 2-pin terminal block, a 4-pin terminal block and a top cover. It is a Decora-style 2-gang plate in matte anodized aluminium.
What resolutions does it send, and how far?
Up to 4Kx2K over HDMI and up to 1920x1200@60Hz over VGA, with the scaler putting out up to 1920x1080. 1080p reaches 230ft/70m and 4Kx2K 130ft/40m, at 10.2Gbps.
Can it be controlled serially?
Yes, RS-232 on a 3-pin terminal block at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Does the VGA input get scaled to match the HDMI path?
Yes, the built-in scaler outputs up to 1920x1080 so both sources reach the display in a common format.
Does the transmitter need a local power supply?
Not necessarily. PoH powers the transmitter from the receiver over HDBaseT. A 100-240V AC to 12VDC 2A supply is available, and there is a 12V power OUT on a 2-pin terminal block. Maximum consumption is 9.6W.
The VGA source has no sound at the display.
VGA carries no audio. Connect the source's analog stereo to the 3.5mm mini-jack on the plate; only HDMI carries embedded digital audio.
The image is unstable on a long run.
1080p is rated to 70m and 4Kx2K to 40m over HDBaseT. Confirm the run length before looking at the source.
Is it HDBaseT Alliance certified?
Yes, and it supports the key HDMI 1.4 features including EDID and HDCP.
What is the audio performance on the analog path?
Greater than 85dB SNR across 20Hz to 20kHz, with 75 ohm impedance.
