Product Description

The VLPT-51HT70 is a 5x1 seamless presentation switch that combines three HDMI and two USB-C inputs onto a single display at up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, with a built-in scaler that outputs a consistent, room-friendly resolution regardless of source. Beyond one-source-at-a-time seamless switching, it runs a fast multiview engine with Single, PIP, PBP, Triple, and Quad layouts, so several inputs can appear on one screen at once.

Each USB-C input is a single-cable laptop connection: DisplayPort Alt Mode A/V, USB 2.0 data, 100M Ethernet for network access, and up to 60W of power to charge the source device. Local USB 2.0 KVM switching lets a shared keyboard and mouse control the connected computers, and a local hub plus HDBaseT USB pass-through carries USB from the transmitter to the receiver for cameras and peripherals in a software video conference. Bi-directional RS-232 and IR pass-through are supported end to end.

The switch has one HDMI output and one HDBaseT 3.0 output, mirrored so a local monitor and a distant display show the same content. Over a single Cat6A (F/FTP) cable, HDBaseT 3.0 carries uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 to 40m (131ft) and 4K30/1080p to 70m (230ft), and delivers PoE from the transmitter to the included receiver (TX_PSE / RX_PD). Audio is handled by a 3x3 matrix with independent EQ, volume, and delay, plus analog and Dante® embedding and de-embedding, and Dante® 2x2 audio in and out to connect the room to a networked audio system.

Control is available from front-panel buttons, the IR remote, RS-232, or TCP/IP, and a built-in web server / GUI handles A/V control, automatic display control, and input EDID management. With five source inputs, multiview, single-cable USB-C connectivity, and networked audio, the VLPT-51HT70 suits source-rich conference and classroom spaces built around a single display.

Ideal Applications

Software-Based Video Conference Rooms
Built for Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet rooms with a single display and several sources. Connect the room PC on HDMI, two guest laptops over USB-C, and the room camera and speakerphone at the remote receiver, routed back over USB to the computer driving the call. Multiview lets the room show a presenter's content and reference material together, while the USB-C laptops connect and charge with one cable.

Source-Rich Boardrooms and Meeting Spaces
Ideal where a fixed PC and multiple bring-your-own-device laptops share one display. Three HDMI and two USB-C inputs cover a busy table, seamless switching keeps the screen clean during handoffs, and local USB 2.0 KVM lets a single keyboard and mouse drive the connected computers. The mirrored HDMI-plus-HDBaseT output feeds a local confidence monitor and a distant display at once.

Higher Education and Training Rooms
Suited to classrooms and labs where an instructor station and several student sources feed one projector or display. The built-in scaler locks the output to a resolution the room display accepts, PIP and PBP show an instructor's content alongside a reference source, and EDID management keeps every input stable. HDBaseT PoE places the display up to 70m away without a separate power supply at the far end.

AV-over-Dante® Meeting Spaces
Designed for rooms whose audio lives on a Dante® network. A 3x3 audio matrix handles routing with independent EQ, volume, and delay, while Dante® 2x2 in/out sends presentation and conference audio directly to networked DSPs, amplifiers, or processors. Analog line in and out remain available for local microphones and speakers, with embedding and de-embedding in both directions.

Multi-Purpose and Divisible Rooms
Effective in flexible spaces that switch between presentation, collaboration, and conferencing. The mirrored output drives a local monitor and a remote display together, PoE powers the receiver over the same Cat6A run, and control by RS-232, TCP/IP, or web GUI lets the switch join a room automation or VigilLynx™ control system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far can the VLPT-51HT70 extend video over HDBaseT?
Over a single Cat6A (F/FTP) cable, the HDBaseT 3.0 output carries uncompressed 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 up to 40m (131ft) and 4K@30Hz or 1080p up to 70m (230ft). The HDBaseT output is mirrored with the HDMI output, so a local monitor and a remote display show the same content. The matching receiver is included in the box and is powered over the same cable by PoE.

What can each USB-C input do at the same time?
Every USB-C input carries four functions over one cable: DisplayPort Alt Mode video up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, USB 2.0 data, 100M Ethernet for network access, and up to 60W of power to charge the connected laptop.

How many sources can the VLPT-51HT70 show at once?
It accepts five inputs (three HDMI and two USB-C) and drives one display. In addition to full-screen seamless switching, the multiview engine offers Single, PIP, PBP, Triple, and Quad layouts, so up to four sources can appear on the screen simultaneously.

Does it include Dante® audio?
Yes. The switch provides Dante® 2x2 audio input and output (LPCM 2.0, 44.1/48/88.2/96KHz at 24-bit) so presentation and conference audio can be routed to and from a Dante® network. A built-in 3x3 audio matrix adds independent EQ, volume, and delay, and analog and Dante® signals can be embedded and de-embedded in both directions.

How does KVM and USB pass-through work?
Local USB 2.0 KVM switching lets a shared keyboard and mouse control the connected computers. A local hub plus HDBaseT USB pass-through carries USB 2.0 from the transmitter to the receiver, so cameras or peripherals at the display end can be used by the room's computer. Bi-directional RS-232 and IR pass-through are also supported end to end.

Does the switch power the receiver?
Yes. The transmitter supplies PoE to the included HDBaseT receiver over the same Cat6A cable (TX_PSE / RX_PD), so no separate power supply is needed at the display end.

Does the VLPT-51HT70 support HDR?
The inputs accept HDR sources, but the output does not pass HDR. Because the switch scales all inputs to a selected output resolution for consistent multiview and display compatibility, output is delivered as standard 8-bit SDR.

How is the VLPT-51HT70 controlled?
Control is available from front-panel buttons, the IR remote, RS-232, and TCP/IP. A built-in web server / GUI handles A/V control, automatic display control, and input EDID management, and CEC/RS-232 can switch connected displays and devices on or off.

How does the VLPT-51HT70 differ from the VLPT-42MVDKH?
Both are multiview presentation switches with USB-C, HDBaseT, and Dante® audio. The VLPT-51HT70 is a 5x1 switch (three HDMI, two USB-C) with a single mirrored output, USB 2.0 / 100M Ethernet on USB-C, and HDCP 2.2. The VLPT-42MVDKH is a 4x2 switch with dual HDMI outputs, USB 3.2 Gen 1 / 1Gbps Ethernet on USB-C, HDCP 2.3, and adds Auto and Custom multiview modes. Choose the VLPT-51HT70 for source-rich single-display rooms; choose the VLPT-42MVDKH for higher-bandwidth USB-C and dual-output layouts.
