Visionary Solutions DuetE5-WP – 4K60 Dante Wall Plate Encoder

Product Overview

The Visionary Solutions DuetE5-WP is a 4K60 4:4:4 AV over IP wall plate encoder that converges video and Dante/AES67 network audio on the PacketAV 5-Series platform. Housed in a 2-gang Decora-style faceplate, it is built for conference room installation, lectern and floor-box source points, and enterprise AV over IP integration where Dante audio and sub-frame video latency are required. A single PoE-powered category cable carries video, audio, and control.

Product Description

The DuetE5-WP installs in a standard 2-gang US or UK back box — wall, tabletop, lectern, or floor box — with no modification, and its 45-degree exit RJ-45 connector preserves category cable bend radius in shallow electrical enclosures. The HDMI input accepts sources up to 4K60 4:4:4 with full color sampling, encoded by a JPEG2000-based visually lossless codec at approximately 2 ms sub-frame latency for live presentation and image magnification applications. Dante/AES67 support provides up to four channels of network audio input and two channels of output, with VLAN tagging available to separate audio and video traffic as needed. Analog connectivity includes an unbalanced stereo input and output on 3.5 mm connectors, alongside IR over IP and RS-232 over IP ports for extending control signals to remote devices through the AV network. Isochronous USB 2.0 over IP enables real-time extension of USB devices such as webcams and microphones for video conferencing deployment. A full-motion MJPEG substream supplies preview feeds without affecting the primary stream, switching is tearing-free with no black screens, and mass configuration via CSV through the embedded web UI accelerates large rollouts. Enterprise security includes AES-256 stream encryption, 802.1x, HTTPS, and SSH. The fanless wall plate draws 12 W typical over standard PoE. If presenters need wireless audio, the DuetE5-WP-BT adds Bluetooth 5.0 bridging; for the previous-generation 4K UHD platform, see the DuetE-WP.

Key Features

• 4K60 4:4:4 Video Encoding — Full 4:4:4 color sampling at 60 frames per second preserves fine text and computer graphics for demanding content.
• Sub-Frame Latency — Approximately 2 ms at 1080p60 and 4K60 4:4:4 keeps live video aligned with in-room audio and presenters.
• Dante/AES67 Audio Integration — Up to 4 channels of network audio embedding and de-embedding connect directly to professional audio systems and DSPs.
• Single-Cable PoE Installation — One category cable delivers power, 4K60 video, Dante/AES67 audio, and control to the wall plate.
• Analog Audio I/O — Unbalanced stereo input and output on 3.5 mm connectors handle local program audio sources and zone feeds.
• IR and RS-232 over IP — Extends infrared and serial control signals across the AV network to remote devices.
• USB 2.0 over IP — Isochronous USB extension supports webcams and microphones for networked video conferencing designs.
• MJPEG Preview Substream — Full-motion preview feeds for monitoring and control system thumbnails without impacting the main stream.
• Enterprise Security — AES-256 stream encryption, 802.1x authentication, HTTPS secure API, and SSH for converged AV/IT networks.
• Fanless, Silent Operation — Convection cooling at 0 dBA suits acoustically sensitive meeting spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What decoders pair with the DuetE5-WP?
The DuetE5-WP is part of the PacketAV 5-Series and streams to 5-Series decoders over any industry-standard Gigabit IP network — enterprise LAN or dedicated AV network.

How is the DuetE5-WP different from the DuetE5-WP-BT?
The two share the same 4K60 4:4:4 sub-frame encoding platform and Dante/AES67 audio. The BT model adds Bluetooth 5.0 wireless audio bridging; the standard DuetE5-WP instead provides analog audio I/O plus IR and RS-232 over IP control extension.

Does it require a 10 Gigabit network?
No. It runs on standard Gigabit Ethernet over CAT5e/6 cabling and low-cost switches with IGMP multicast support.

How is it powered and installed?
Standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) over a single category cable. It fits a standard 2-gang US or UK back box with no modification and mounts into Decora-style wall plates in walls, floor boxes, table boxes, or lecterns.

Can it integrate with my Dante audio system?
Yes. It embeds and de-embeds Dante/AES67 network audio — up to 4 input channels and 2 output channels — with VLAN tagging to keep audio and video traffic separated as needed.

How is it controlled in an integrated AV system?
Vision Lite control software, third-party drivers for Crestron, QSC, Symetrix, and RTI, plus a full API for qualified system integrators. IR over IP and RS-232 over IP extend device control through the network.

What support does Creation Networks provide?
Creation Networks is an authorized commercial AV reseller. We assist with AV over IP system design, Dante audio planning, and endpoint selection before you order.
