3 Overview
The WPN-11 and the WPN-12 constitute an XGA/Component/RGB/CV/YC
Transmitter and Receiver set. The WPN-11 and the WPN-12 are ideal for
operating a projector via remote control. You can connect these sources:
YUV, RGB, CV, Y/C, XGA to the WPN-11 wall plate, and connect the YUV,
RGB, CV, Y/C, XGA outputs from the WPN-12 wall plate to the appropriate
inputs on a projector.

The Kramer WPN-11 wall plate includes:
 An XGA input (up to UXGA resolution) on a standard HD-15 connector
 A set of RCA connectors that can be used for component video
1
/RGB,
s-Video (Y/C), or composite video
 A button for selecting component/RGB/composite/s-Video (Y/C) or XGA
 OUTPUT TO LINE terminal block connectors that connect to the
corresponding INPUT FROM LINE terminal block connectors on the
WPN-12 using the optional BC-5X5S cable
2
 A standard 12 Volt DC feed that lets the WPN-12 derive its power via the
power supply of the WPN-11.The system can be powered from either the
WPN-11 or WPN-12

The Kramer WPN-12 wall plate includes:
 An XGA output on a standard HD-15 connector
 A set of RCA connectors that can be used for component
1
video/RGB,
s-Video (Y/C), or composite video
 INPUT FROM LINE terminal block connectors that connect to the
corresponding OUTPUT TO LINE terminal block connectors on the WPN-11
using the optional BC-5X5S cable
2
The BC-5X5S cable
2
(not supplied
4
) is very flexible, letting you run different
channels on the single cable—component video/RGB, s-Video (Y/C),
composite video, audio, DC and so on. It has 5 coax (conductor and shield)
cables (red, green, blue, yellow, and black), and 5 thin wires (red and black, as
well as yellow, brown and orange).
Achieving the best performance means:
 Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
 Positioning your WPN-11 and/or WPN-12 Kramer wall plate securely,
and away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
