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
