High performance highly scalable AVoIP Wal Plate Encoder for 4K60

Ideal Use Cases

The Kramer WP-SW2-EN7/US-D(W) is designed for AV installations that need to stream 4K video from a wall-plate location over an Ethernet network. Its combination of an encoder switcher format, 4K60 video capability, HDR10 support, and transmission over copper cable makes it suitable for network-based AV systems where the source connection needs to be integrated directly into the wall.

This US model is particularly appropriate when a white Decora® design frame is required. It supports 4K60 video with 4:2:0 color sampling over a 1G network, providing a defined performance profile for installations built around 1GbE infrastructure.

Why Choose This Model

The WP-SW2-EN7 combines high-performance AVoIP encoding with a space-conscious wall plate design. Instead of placing the encoder away from the source location, the wall plate provides an integrated connection point for streaming video through the network. The product is described as highly scalable, making it a practical building block for systems that may include multiple networked AV endpoints.

• Streams 4K video signals via Ethernet over copper cable.
• Supports 4K60 video with 4:2:0 color sampling.
• Supports the HDR10 high dynamic range format.
• Operates over a 1G network.
• Includes white Decora® design frame sets for the US configuration.

Installation and Integration

The WP-SW2-EN7/US-D(W) uses a US wall plate format and includes white Decora® design frame sets. Its listed dimensions are 12.10cm wide by 4.56cm deep by 12.10cm high, or 4.76 inches wide by 1.80 inches deep by 4.76 inches high. These measurements allow the physical requirements of the unit to be considered during wall preparation and system planning.

Video is carried over an Ethernet connection using copper cable and a 1G network. This network-based approach places the encoder at the wall while allowing the encoded 4K signal to travel through the AV-over-IP infrastructure. The supplied information does not specify wireless networking, mounting hardware, supported network switches, or additional configuration requirements.

Performance Highlights

The encoder supports video at up to 4K60 with 4:2:0 color sampling and a listed refresh rate of 60Hz. HDR10 support allows it to handle compatible high dynamic range video signals. These capabilities define the model as a 4K AVoIP endpoint intended for video streaming rather than a conventional point-to-point extension device.

Typical power consumption is rated at 5.04W. Under full load with USB-C charging, power consumption is rated at 67.68W. The distinction between typical operation and full-load operation gives system designers concrete values to consider when planning power requirements.

What Makes It Different

The WP-SW2-EN7 brings together three functions that shape its role in an AV system: a wall plate connection point, an AVoIP encoder, and switcher functionality. Its ability to stream 4K video over a 1GbE copper network provides a clear path for incorporating a wall-mounted source location into a scalable networked AV deployment.

This specific US-D(W) version is differentiated by its US dimensions and included white Decora® design frame sets. It should not be confused with the separately listed EU and UK frame configuration. Selecting the precise regional model is important because the supplied frame style and physical dimensions differ between configurations.

Final Assessment

The Kramer WP-SW2-EN7/US-D(W) is a focused choice for networked AV installations that require a US-format wall plate encoder for 4K video. Its support for 4K60 4:2:0, HDR10, Ethernet transmission over copper cable, and 1G networking provides a concise, clearly defined performance set. The included white Decora® design frame sets complete the specified US configuration, while the published dimensions and power figures support informed integration planning.
