Introduction
The VINX ‘AP-series’ is the second generation of the VINX family. These products extend the
features of the rst generation with the following functions: VGA input port, Analog audio (de)
embedding and transmission over SFP modules. The devices can also be powered over Ethernet
(PoE). The built-in audio de-embedding feature allows the HDMI audio to be transmitted as a
2-channel Dante
®
or AES67 source from the DNT model via the extra RJ45 connector.
Compatible Devices
The VINX AP-series devices are compatible with the VINX-120-HDMI-ENC and
VINX-110-HDMI-DEC (basic VINX) devices. Please note that certain features are not available
when mixing VINX-AP and basic VINX devices:
* VGA is available in VINX-210AP-HDMI-ENC model only.
** In VINX-120AP-HDMI-ENC-DNT model only.

 The microphone input port applies a xed bias to feed the connected electret
(condenser) microphone. Thus, it is not suitable for dynamic microphones that do not
contain isolation or an impedance matching transformer. (Danger of damage to the
microphone.)
