WP-5VH2 - Getting Started
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
 Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
 Review the contents of this user manual
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp
to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if
firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
 Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
resolution, high-quality cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal
quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated
with low quality cables)
 Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
 Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
 Position your Kramer WP-5VH2 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
2.2 Safety Instructions
Caution:
There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit
Warning:
Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall
adapter that is provided with the unit
Warning:
Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall
before installing

2.3 Shielded Twisted Pair/Unshielded Twisted Pair
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our
digital twisted pair products; the Kramer BC-HDKat6a (CAT 6 23 AWG) HDBaseT
certified, and the Kramer BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG) cables. These
specially built cables significantly outperform regular CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables.
2.4 Recycling Kramer Products
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC
aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by
requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,
Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced
Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and
recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN
facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country
go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

WP-5VH2 - Overview
3 Overview
The WP-5VH2 accepts an HDMI and PC graphics video input, an Ethernet signal,
serial data, and an unbalanced stereo audio input (which is embedded into the
output signal), and transmits the signal via HDBaseT (Twisted Pair) cable to a
compatible receiver (for example, the TP-588D or the TP-580RXR). The
WP-5VH2 is a PoE (Power over Ethernet) receiver and can be powered by a
compatible PoE provider, (for example, the PSE-1).
The WP-5VH2 provides a range of up to 130m (427ft) in normal mode for
1080p@60Hz @36bpp. When using an extended range receiver and
BC−HDKat6a cables, the range is up to 180m (590ft) for 1080p@60Hz @24bpp.
To use the WP-5VH2 in extended range mode you must edit the EDID.
For optimum range and performance, use Kramer's BC−HDKat6a and
BC−DGKat7a23 shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. Note that the
transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and
display used. The distance using non-Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6, and CAT 7
cables may not reach these ranges.
In particular the WP-5VH2 features:
 Support for 4K, (a data rate of up to 10.2Gbps)
 Automatic input selection based on priority selection or last connected input
 Manual input selection
 Automatic live input detection based on video clock presence
 Automatic analog audio detection and embedding
 Power over Ethernet passes electrical power along with data on Ethernet
cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and
electrical power to compatible devices
 Control via Kramer Protocol 3000 and embedded Web pages over a LAN
 HDTV support
 HDMI with Deep Color, x.v.Color™ and 3D

3.1 About HDBaseT™ Technology
HDBaseT™ is an advanced, all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the
HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the ProAV – and also the home –
environment as a digital networking alternative, where it enables you to replace
numerous cables and connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for
example, uncompressed, full high-definition video, audio, IR, as well as various
control signals.
The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

WP-5VH2 - Principles of Operation

13
6 Principles of Operation
The WP-5VH2 selects video and audio inputs based on the rules described below.
6.1 Input Selection
The video mode selection is set by the DIP-switches (see Section 8.1) to either of
the following modes:
 Manual
 Auto—Last connected or priority mode
In manual mode the input is selected using the remote input selection switches or
the Web-page interface and occurs whether or not there is a live signal present on
the input.
In auto mode, switching selection can be based on either last connected or priority
inputs.
In last connected mode the WP-5VH2 selects the input based on which input was
connected last. If the signal on this input is subsequently lost for any reason, the
input with a live signal and which was also the last connected is selected
automatically.
In priority mode, when the input signal sync is lost for any reason, the input with a
live signal and next in priority and which is connected is selected automatically.
This priority is configurable with the default setting being HDMI > PC.
Note: In both last connected and priority modes, manually selecting an input using
the remote input selection switches overrides the last-connected automatic
selection.
6.2 Signal Loss and Unplugged Cable Timeouts
In both last connected and priority modes, when the input signal sync is lost (but
the cable is not removed) there is a default delay of five seconds (not applicable to

14
WP-5VH2 - Principles of Operation
the PC input) before another input is automatically selected. When an input cable
is removed, there is a delay before automatic switching takes place.
Both timeouts are configurable, (see Section 8.1).
6.3 Audio Signal Control
The Option DIP-switches 3 and 4 (see Section 8.1) control the manner in which
audio is handled.
The following table describes which audio signal is embedded in the output.

Note: The default timeout for audio switching when the input signal is lost is five
seconds. This can be changed using either P3000 commands or the Web pages.
6.4 VGA Phase Shift
To avoid noise on the VGA signal, the VGA phase can be shifted using a remote,
contact-closure switch connected to the 1 and G pins of the Remote terminal
block. Each long press steps the phase shift up one step, starting from 0 and
going to 31. When set to 31, another long press steps the shift to 0.
