The WyreStorm SW0201-POH is a two-input
HDMI and VGA switcher comprising of a
transmitter and receiver that converts either
input to an HDBaseT™ output to enable the
transmission of VGA or HDMI sources over
distances up to 100m/328ft using a single Cat5e/6
cable for lossless 1080p HD video and HD Audio
distribution.

Featuring powerful HDBaseT technology for stable
and reliable transmissions that safeguard against
electromagnetic interference, the SW0201-POH also
features Power-over-HDBaseT – the latest evolution
of power-over-Ethernet – to enable display receiver
operation without the need for mains power for even

greater convenience and exibility.

Additionally, the SW0201-POH can be cascaded
up to 7 times for larger distributions with each unit
independently powered as a PoH receiver and as a

pass-through to power the next receiver in the cable
run.

VGA and HDMI inputs are automatically selected and
switched when the unit detects a signal, with a smart
detection feature prioritizing VGA over HDMI if two

devices are transmitting at the same time.

The SW0201-POH also includes Mini USB for rmware

updates and RCA stereo outputs for connection to

third party amplication and speakers in display zones

Both SW0201-POH Transmitters/Receivers include

auto equalization and amplication to ensure

successful signal distribution over long cable distances
including PoH without any loss in transmission quality

The SW0201-POH offers an excellent solution to any

commercial or residential environment where switching
between VGA with audio and HDMI over distance is

required, with the added benet of stereo breakout

for increased audio options and robust HDBaseT
transmission technology negating the need for mains

power at display points.

3. Safety Precautions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or product damage:

• Protection against ESD (electrostatic discharge) included within

the unit to further stabilise transmission.

• LED indications for clear power and video signal selection.

• 5v mains supply included but receivers may be powered through the

USB port of the display using Wyrestorm USB to 5v power adaptor)

• Fully cascadable to further lengthen transmission.

*NOTE: ideal conditions denote cable run is within
specified distance range of product, no electrical
interference, the use of straight cable runs with no bends
or kinks and no patch panels or wall outlets used. Please
be advised that the presence of any of these factors in
your installation may compromise bandwidth and signal
strength. For longer transmission distances, RS232 control
and Ethernet pass-through, please see our full HDBaseT
or HDBT Lite range of matrices, transmitters, receivers and
extender sets.

PACkAGE CONTENTS, CONNECTION & OPERATION AND SPECIFICATIONS

Connect HDMI or VGA input sources (such as Blu­Ray, DVD, HDD, Satellite/cable, computer, CCTV, media

server etc. etc.) to the SW0201-POH Transmitter.

Note: Take care when connecting cables and do not
force insertion if resistance is felt.

Attach a good quality and well-terminated Cat5e/6/7
cable from the UTP OUT port of the Transmitter to the

UTP IN port of the SW0201-POH Receiver.

Note: Although fully operable with Cat5e cable, we
recommend Cat6 as the preferred category cable for the

added bandwidth capacity.

Attention The transmission distance of the

SW0201-POH is 100m/328ft under perfect
transmission conditions. Please be aware that
transmission can be adversely effected by kinks,
strains or bends in the cable, the use of patch
panels or wall outlets or electrical or environmental
interference. Steps should be taken to minimize
these factors (or remove completely) during
installation for best results.

Connect an HDMI sink device (such as: LED/LCD

TV or digital projector) to the HDMI OUT port of the
SW0201-POH Receiver using a good quality HDMI cable,

ensuring firm connection in both ports.

Connect the 19v DC power supply provided to

the SW0201-POH Transmitter and power on the unit,
ensuring Power status LED is lit to indicate the unit is

powered.

Power on the HDMI or VGA Input source to be

used. Check the STATUS LED on the Transmitter to
confirm a signal is being received by the unit.

Note: If both inputs are powered and sending a signal,

VGA will be preferred.

If using the SW0201-POH as an extender set, the

SW0201-POH Receiver draws power directly from the
Transmitter HDBaseT so no mains power is required at

the display zone.

Note: The SW0201-POH Receiver also includes a 19v

DC power input for optional use or when using the unit as

a standalone display receiver.

Power on the HDMI display device.

Operation: the SW0201-POH features input auto-

detection, with VGA taking priority when both HDMI and
VGA sources are connected. To select the HDMI input,

simply power on the HDMI input device and power off the

VGA device.

Attention Insert/Extract cables gently.

Note: Specifications are subject to change without

notice. Mass and dimensions are approximate.
