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

Product Overview

The Visionary Solutions E-WP-H is an HDMI-only, PoE-powered 4K UHD over IP wallplate encoder for commercial AV integration on converged AV/IT networks. It places cinema-quality, ultra-low latency encoding directly at the wall, lectern, or table, giving conference rooms and classrooms a single dependable HDMI connection point. As part of the PacketAV family, this AV over IP wall plate encoder replaces fixed matrix switcher infrastructure with scalable, network-based 4K video distribution over IP.

Product Description

The E-WP-H encodes 4K UHD HDMI sources onto standard Gigabit IP networks with approximately one frame of latency and visually lossless image quality, which holds up equally well for detailed computer graphics and full-motion video. The HDMI-only configuration keeps wall box installations simple: one source connection, one category cable, PoE power from the network switch. Because PacketAV endpoints are switch-matrix routable, any encoded source can reach any decoder on the network, letting designers scale a system room by room instead of sizing a matrix chassis up front. The E-WP-H deploys on an existing enterprise IP network or a physically separate parallel network to offload traffic, using the same network protocols, methods, and devices either way — video never intermingles with data or voice unless you want it to. The wallplate form factor suits lecterns, conference tables, and presentation walls where a tidy, user-facing connection matters more than rack space. Pair it with PacketAV decoders such as the DuetD-5 at each display, or mix it with the standard E-WP across a larger deployment. 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) — Visually lossless performance keeps live presentation and camera content effectively real time.
• HDMI-Only Simplicity — A single HDMI input streamlines installation and reduces cost where one connection is all the room needs.
• PoE Powered — One category cable to the wall box carries power and signal, eliminating local power supplies.
• Matrix-Routable Distribution — Routes any source to any display over the network instead of through a fixed matrix switcher.
• Standard IP Network Deployment — Runs on existing enterprise networks or a physically separate private AV network with industry-standard protocols.
• Wallplate Form Factor — Installs at lecterns, tables, and walls for a clean, user-facing source connection.

Typical Applications

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the E-WP-H differ from the E-WP?
The E-WP-H is the HDMI-only version, intended for streamlined installations where one HDMI connection is sufficient. See the standard E-WP if you need the full-featured wallplate.

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

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

Is the latency acceptable for live presentation?
Yes. The PacketAV platform operates at approximately one frame of latency with visually lossless quality, suitable for live presentation and camera relay.

What completes the signal chain?
Pair the encoder with Visionary PacketAV decoders at each display. Creation Networks carries the full Visionary lineup, including the DuetD-5 decoder.

Can Creation Networks help spec my deployment?
Yes. Our commercial AV team can review network topology, PoE budgets, and endpoint counts before you order. Contact us through creationnetworks.net.
