Visionary Solutions E-WP – 4K UHD over IP Wallplate Encoder

Product Overview

The Visionary Solutions E-WP is a PoE-powered 4K UHD over IP wallplate encoder that puts cinema-quality, ultra-low latency video encoding directly at the wall, lectern, or table. Designed for commercial AV integration on converged AV/IT networks, this AV over IP wall plate encoder gives conference rooms and classrooms a clean in-wall source connection without a rack-mount encoder behind the scenes. It is a scalable alternative to traditional matrix switcher distribution for enterprise 4K video distribution over IP.

Product Description

Part of Visionary's PacketAV family, the E-WP encodes 4K UHD sources onto standard Gigabit IP networks with approximately one frame of latency and visually lossless image quality — performance that holds up for detailed computer graphics, motion video, and live presentation content alike. Because it bypasses the constraints of fixed switch matrix systems, AV designers and IT directors can scale a deployment one endpoint at a time, routing any source to any display across the network. The E-WP can be deployed on an existing enterprise IP network or on a physically separate parallel network to offload traffic, using the same protocols and switching hardware either way, without intermingling video with data or voice. PoE power keeps the wall box installation to a single category cable. The wallplate form factor is well suited to lecterns, conference tables, and presentation walls in corporate meeting spaces, training rooms, and houses of worship, where a tidy user-facing connection point matters. Pair the E-WP with PacketAV decoders to complete the signal chain, or mix it with other Visionary encoders such as the E-WP-H HDMI-only version across a larger matrix-routable system. The vendor feature and specification sheets below detail the complete capability set.

Key Features

• 4K UHD over IP Encoding — Delivers cinema-quality UHD video across standard Gigabit IP networks.
• Ultra-Low Latency (~1 Frame) — Keeps live presentation and camera content effectively real time, with visually lossless quality.
• PoE Powered — A single category cable provides power and connectivity at the wall box, simplifying installation.
• Wallplate Form Factor — Installs at lecterns, tables, and walls for a clean, user-facing source connection.
• Matrix-Routable Distribution — Routes any source to any display, replacing fixed matrix switchers with scalable network switching.
• Standard IP Network Deployment — Runs on existing enterprise networks or a physically separate private AV network using industry-standard protocols.
• Converged AV/IT Design — Keeps video traffic isolated from data and voice while using familiar network methods and devices.

Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the E-WP and the E-WP-H?
The E-WP-H is the HDMI-only version of this wallplate encoder, intended for streamlined installations. The E-WP is the standard version of the PacketAV wallplate encoder.

Can it run on our existing corporate network?
Yes. Visionary PacketAV endpoints deploy on any industry-standard IP network — either your existing enterprise LAN or a physically separate private AV network — without intermingling video with data or voice traffic.

How is the E-WP powered?
By PoE from a network switch, so a single category cable to the wall box handles both power and signal.

Is the latency low enough for live presentation and IMAG?
Yes. Visionary's PacketAV platform operates at approximately one frame of latency with visually lossless quality, suitable for live presentation, camera relay, and interactive content.

What decoders do I need to complete the system?
Pair the E-WP with Visionary PacketAV decoders at each display. Creation Networks stocks the full Visionary lineup, including the DuetD-5 decoder; contact us to match endpoints to your room designs.

Does Creation Networks provide pre-sales engineering help?
Yes. Our commercial AV team can review your network topology, PoE budget, and endpoint counts before you order. Reach out through creationnetworks.net.
