Visionary Solutions E-WP-BT – 4K UHD Wall Plate Encoder, Bluetooth

Product Overview

The Visionary Solutions E-WP-BT is a 4K UHD AV over IP wall plate encoder with built-in Bluetooth 5.0 audio, packaged in a 2-gang Decora-style faceplate for conference room installation and commercial AV over IP integration. A single PoE-powered category cable carries 4K video, audio, and control to the network, while the integrated Bluetooth receiver bridges presenter phone and laptop audio without separate wireless hardware. It is a streamlined wall plate source point for PacketAV Matrix Series video distribution systems.

Product Description

The E-WP-BT installs in a standard 2-gang US or UK back box — wall, floor box, table box, or lectern — with no modification, and its 45-degree exit RJ-45 connector preserves category cable bend radius inside shallow electrical boxes. The HDMI input accepts sources up to 4K60 4:2:0, encoded with a JPEG2000-based visually lossless codec at approximately one frame of latency (17 ms at 1080p60). Bluetooth 5.0 supports both A2DP media streaming and the Hands-Free Profile for bi-directional smartphone bridging, so wireless audio can join the AV stream for soft-codec conferencing or background music playback. A rear-panel Euroblock provides a balanced stereo analog output de-embedded from HDMI, ready to feed a local power amplifier or DSP in the audio zone. Video and audio route independently across the network, switching is tearing-free with no black screens, and VLAN tagging isolates AV traffic on the corporate LAN. Enterprise security includes AES stream encryption, 802.1x network authentication, HTTPS secure API, and SSH. The fanless wall plate draws 12 W typical over standard PoE and operates silently. If your system requires Dante/AES67 network audio at the wall plate, step up to the DuetE-WP-BT; for 4K60 4:4:4 sub-frame performance, see the E5-WP-BT 5-Series encoder.

Key Features

• 4K UHD over IP Encoding — HDMI sources up to 4K60 4:2:0 stream across standard Gigabit networks with visually lossless quality.
• Bluetooth 5.0 Audio — A2DP media streaming and HFP bi-directional smartphone bridging bring wireless audio into the AV system without extra hardware.
• Single-Cable PoE Installation — One category cable carries power, video, audio, and control to the wall plate.
• Balanced Analog Audio Output — Rear-panel Euroblock feeds local amplifiers or DSPs with stereo audio de-embedded from HDMI.
• Ultra-Low Latency — Approximately one frame (17 ms @ 1080p60 and 4K60 4:2:0) keeps presentation video in sync with the room.
• Independent AV Routing — Video and audio matrix separately, with tearing-free, black-screen-free switching.
• Enterprise Security — AES stream encryption, 802.1x authentication, HTTPS secure API, and SSH protect AV traffic on converged networks.
• 45-Degree RJ-45 Exit — Maintains cable bend radius inside standard 2-gang back boxes for clean rough-in.
• Fanless, Silent Operation — Convection cooling at 0 dBA suits acoustically sensitive meeting spaces.

Typical Applications

• Conference room
• Huddle room
• Boardroom
• Commercial meeting space
• Multi-purpose room
• Training room
• House of worship

Frequently Asked Questions

What decoders work with the E-WP-BT?
The E-WP-BT streams to Visionary PacketAV Matrix Series decoders over any industry-standard Gigabit IP network, either the enterprise LAN or a dedicated AV network.

Does the E-WP-BT support Dante audio?
No. The E-WP-BT handles LPCM audio with Bluetooth input and a balanced analog output. If you need Dante/AES67 embedding and de-embedding at the wall plate, choose the DuetE-WP-BT instead.

How is the unit powered?
Standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) over the same category cable that carries video and control — no local power supply is needed at the wall plate.

Does it fit a standard electrical box?
Yes. It installs in a standard 2-gang US or UK back box with no modification and mounts into Decora-style wall plates in walls, floor boxes, or lecterns.

Can presenters take conference calls through it?
Yes. The Hands-Free Profile supports bi-directional pairing with a phone for call bridging into the room AV system, alongside A2DP media streaming.

How is it controlled in an integrated system?
Vision Lite control software, third-party drivers for Crestron, QSC, Symetrix, and RTI, plus a full API for qualified system integrators.

What support does Creation Networks provide?
Creation Networks is an authorized commercial AV reseller. We assist with AV over IP system design and encoder/decoder selection before you order.
