Visionary Solutions E5-WP-H – 4K60 4:4:4 Wallplate Encoder, HDMI Only

Product Overview

The Visionary Solutions E5-WP-H is an HDMI-only 4K60 4:4:4 AV over IP wallplate encoder designed for streamlined commercial AV installations. Powered over Ethernet through a single Gigabit LAN port, this wall plate encoder for conference room AV systems encodes any HDMI source onto a standard IP network with sub-frame, visually lossless latency. It is a clean, in-wall building block for scalable 4K video distribution over IP in corporate, education, and government environments.

Product Description

The E5-WP-H simplifies the 5 Series wallplate platform down to its most-requested configuration: one HDMI input, one network cable, installed in a standard wall box. It encodes sources up to 4K60 with full 4:4:4 chroma sampling and HDR support, using Visionary's JPEG2000-based adaptive codec with built-in AI to deliver visually lossless quality for both computer graphics and full-motion video at bitrates from 50 to 200 Mbps (or Auto up to 800 Mbps). Latency is approximately 2 ms at 1080p60 and 4K60 4:4:4 — effectively real time for live presentation and camera content. Native AES67 audio output integrates the encoder with professional networked audio systems at 24-bit 48 kHz. PoE (IEEE 802.3af) power through the single Gigabit port reduces cable clutter, and the fanless design runs silently at 0 dBA in occupied rooms. Enterprise deployments benefit from AES-256 stream encryption, 802.1x network authentication, HTTPS secure API, and SSH management, while mass configuration through the embedded web UI, LLDP discovery, and QoS support keep large endpoint fleets manageable. Fast switching is tearing free with no black screen between sources. The E5-WP-H deploys on existing enterprise networks or physically separate private AV networks and pairs with any Visionary 5 Series decoder, such as the DuetD-5, to complete the room. If you need analog audio and control extension at the wallplate, step up to the E5-WP.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the E5-WP-H over the E5-WP?
Choose the E5-WP-H when the room only needs an HDMI input at the wall. The E5-WP adds analog stereo I/O, IR over IP, RS-232 over IP, and USB extension at the wallplate.

How is it powered?
By PoE (IEEE 802.3af) through its single Gigabit LAN port; typical consumption is 12 W and no local power supply is required.

Is it quiet enough to install at the conference table?
Yes. The encoder is convection cooled with no fan or moving parts and is rated 0 dBA.

What decoder do I pair it with?
Any Visionary 5 Series decoder; the DuetD-5 is a common display-side companion with USB-C and Dante/AES67 support.

Does it satisfy enterprise network security requirements?
Yes. AES-256 stream encryption, 802.1x authentication, HTTPS secure API, and SSH management make it deployable on corporate and government networks.

Can a control system manage it?
Yes. Drivers exist for Crestron, Q-SYS, Symetrix, RTI, and others, alongside Vision Lite software and an integrator API.
