Product Features
Technical Overview
The VP2730 delivers robust technical performance through its multi-format input structure, which includes five HDMI inputs, one VGA input, and one DisplayPort input. Two of these inputs are combo ports that accept either HDMI/VGA or HDMI/DisplayPort connections, providing flexibility for legacy and modern source devices. The switch outputs video through two HDMI ports and one HDBaseT port, with the HDBaseT connection supporting transmission distances up to 229.66 feet over twisted-pair cabling.
Video processing capabilities include scaling functionality that converts incoming resolutions to optimal display outputs, ensuring compatibility across different monitor specifications. The switch maintains signal integrity at 1080p resolution with 60Hz refresh rate through HDMI and DisplayPort connections. Three USB ports and two RJ-45 connectivity ports expand control and networking options, while the Ultra Seamless Switch technology enables instantaneous switching between sources without video interruption.
Key Product Advantages
The VP2730 distinguishes itself through advanced streaming management and seamless switching capabilities designed for collaborative presentation environments. Its integrated streaming functions allow meeting moderators to broadcast HD video to up to five remote locations while enabling remote participants to stream content back to the main presentation. This bidirectional streaming capability, managed through an intuitive web GUI, transforms traditional presentation systems into interactive collaboration platforms.
Streaming Management
The Streaming Queuing feature organizes incoming remote content for orderly presentation flow, allowing moderators to approve and share streamed content one item at a time. This prevents presentation chaos while maintaining meeting momentum.
- Go Live broadcasting to 5 locations
- Streaming In from remote participants
- Queued content approval system
Audio Integration
An integrated audio mixer enables flexible audio routing, allowing microphone inputs to be mixed and directed to external analog or digital audio output devices. This supports comprehensive AV system integration without requiring separate audio equipment.
- Microphone input mixing
- External audio device compatibility
- Digital/analog output support
Deployment / Use Cases
The VP2730 excels in environments requiring dynamic content sharing and multi-display presentation capabilities. Corporate boardrooms benefit from its ability to switch instantly between laptop inputs, document cameras, and video conferencing systems while streaming content to remote participants. Educational institutions can leverage the matrix switching to share instructor content with multiple classroom displays while allowing student devices to contribute to the presentation through the streaming functionality.
Command and control centers utilize the VP2730's multi-source monitoring capabilities to display surveillance feeds, data visualizations, and communication streams across multiple screens. The HDBaseT output enables display placement at considerable distances from the source equipment, ideal for large venues or installations with structural constraints. Conference facilities appreciate the combination of local switching and remote streaming, which supports hybrid events where both in-person and virtual participants can share content seamlessly.
Physical Profile
Designed for desktop placement in equipment racks or presentation consoles, the VP2730 features a low-profile 1.73-inch height that conserves space in AV cabinets. The 17.02-inch width accommodates comprehensive port arrays while maintaining manageable footprint dimensions. Four included foot pads provide stable placement on various surfaces, and the desktop form factor simplifies installation without requiring specialized mounting hardware. The 8.16-pound weight ensures stability during operation while remaining portable enough for temporary event setups.
