Visionary Solutions DuetE-WP-H – 4K UHD over IP Wallplate Encoder, HDMI

Product Overview

The Visionary Solutions DuetE-WP-H is an HDMI-only 4K UHD over IP wallplate encoder that converges video distribution and Dante/AES67 audio networking on a single Gigabit Ethernet port. Designed for commercial AV integration where a clean in-wall connection point is required, this AV over IP wall plate encoder simplifies conference room and classroom installations by encoding any HDMI source directly onto the network. It is a practical alternative to traditional matrix switcher infrastructure for scalable 4K video distribution over IP.

Product Description

Part of Visionary's PacketAV Duet family, the DuetE-WP-H streamlines installation by removing the USB-C input and focusing on the most common requirement: a wall-mounted HDMI connection for presentation sources. Video over IP and Dante/AES67 audio embedding and de-embedding travel over one Ethernet port, with VLAN tagging available to separate audio and video traffic on managed networks. A rear-panel Euroblock terminal provides a stereo balanced audio line output, sourced from Dante or de-embedded from HDMI, which can feed a local power amplifier or DSP in the associated audio zone. The encoder is HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant and uses Visionary's dynamically optimized adaptive bit-rate codec with built-in AI, delivering visually lossless transmission of both computer graphics and full-motion video at adjustable bitrates from 50 to 200 Mbps (or Auto up to 800 Mbps). Enterprise security is addressed with AES stream encryption, 802.1x network authentication, HTTPS secure API, and SSH management. Mass configuration tools built into the embedded web UI let integrators auto-discover endpoints, export settings to CSV, and push configuration changes network-wide without external software. LLDP support enables dynamic control of endpoints based on automatic discovery of physical location, and QoS support prioritizes AV traffic on converged networks. Tearing-free fast switching with no black screen makes source changes clean in live meeting environments. Control options include Vision Lite software and third-party drivers for Crestron, Q-SYS, Symetrix, RTI, and other platforms. Pair it with Visionary Duet decoders such as the DuetD-5 for a complete end-to-end AV over IP system.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the DuetE-WP-H and the DuetE5-WP-H?
The DuetE-WP-H is the original Duet wallplate encoder; the DuetE5-WP-H is the newer 5 Series version with 4K60 4:4:4 support. Both are HDMI-only wallplate encoders with Dante/AES67 audio.

Which decoders does this encoder work with?
It is designed for Visionary's PacketAV Duet ecosystem; the DuetD-5 decoder is a common pairing for display-side termination.

Can it feed a local amplifier directly?
Yes. The rear-panel balanced stereo line output can feed an audio power amplifier or DSP in the room's audio zone, sourced from Dante or audio de-embedded from HDMI.

How do I configure a large deployment efficiently?
Use the built-in mass configuration tools: auto-discover all endpoints, export every configurable parameter to CSV, edit offline, and push the configuration back through the embedded web page — no external software needed.

Is it compatible with our control system?
Third-party drivers are available for Crestron, Q-SYS, Symetrix, RTI, and others, and qualified integrators can access the full API.

Is the system secure enough for enterprise and government networks?
Yes. It supports AES stream encryption, 802.1x network access control, HTTPS secure API, and SSH management rather than unencrypted Telnet.
