Visionary Solutions E5-WP – 4K60 4:4:4 AV over IP Wallplate Encoder

Product Overview

The Visionary Solutions E5-WP is a next-generation 4K60 4:4:4 AV over IP wallplate encoder built for professional AV distribution on converged AV/IT networks. With sub-frame latency, native AES67 audio, and PoE power over a single category cable, this wall plate encoder for conference room AV installations delivers visually lossless video from the table or lectern to any display on the network. It gives integrators a discreet, in-wall encoding point that scales from a single room to campus-wide 4K video distribution over IP.

Product Description

The E5-WP encodes HDMI sources up to 4K60 with full 4:4:4 chroma sampling, preserving fine text and graphic detail that matters in presentation and signage content. Latency is sub-frame — approximately 2 ms at 1080p60 and 4K60 4:4:4 — so live events, video conferencing, and interactive displays stay in sync. Visionary's JPEG2000-based adaptive codec uses built-in AI to match compression to scene content, transmitting computer graphics and full-motion video visually losslessly at bitrates from 50 to 200 Mbps (or Auto up to 800 Mbps). Native AES67 audio support integrates the encoder with professional networked audio systems, and analog stereo input/output plus IR and RS-232 over IP on 3.5 mm connectors extend room-level audio and control. Isochronous USB 2.0 over IP enables real-time extension of webcams and microphones for video conferencing deployments, with the single Gigabit LAN port carrying AV over IP, KVM over IP, USB over IP, RS-232 over IP, and PoE power input together. Enterprise security includes AES-256 stream encryption, 802.1x authentication, HTTPS secure API, and SSH. Mass configuration through the embedded web UI, LLDP, and QoS keep large deployments manageable on enterprise networks, and the fanless wallplate runs silently at 0 dBA in occupied rooms. The E5-WP can run on an existing enterprise network or a physically separate private AV network. For HDMI-only installations without analog audio and control extension, see the E5-WP-H.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the E5-WP differ from the E5-WP-H?
The E5-WP includes analog stereo audio in/out, IR over IP, RS-232 over IP, and USB 2.0 over IP. The E5-WP-H is the HDMI-only version for streamlined installations.

How is it powered and installed?
PoE (IEEE 802.3af) powers the encoder through its single Gigabit LAN port, so one category cable to a standard wall back box completes the installation. Typical consumption is 12 W.

Can it extend a USB webcam and microphone for conferencing?
Yes. Isochronous USB 2.0 over IP provides real-time extension of USB devices such as webcams and microphones across the AV over IP network.

Does it integrate with our networked audio system?
Yes. Native AES67 support provides full interoperability with AES67-compliant audio devices at 24-bit 48 kHz, alongside analog stereo I/O at the wallplate.

Will it work with Crestron or Q-SYS control?
Yes. Third-party drivers are available for Crestron, Q-SYS, Symetrix, RTI, and others, in addition to Vision Lite control software and an integrator API.

Can we deploy it on our existing enterprise network?
Yes. It runs on any industry-standard Gigabit IP network, either your enterprise LAN or a physically separate private AV network, with VLAN-friendly QoS, LLDP, 802.1x, and AES-256 encryption.

What decoder completes the system?
Pair it with Visionary 5 Series decoders such as the DuetD-5 at each display.
