Kramer Active Wall Plate Computer Graphics Video Transmitter

The WP-110 is a purpose-built twisted pair wall plate transmitter designed to carry computer graphics video signals over a twisted pair cable to a compatible Kramer receiver. Engineered to deliver crisp, reliable visuals at high resolutions, this active transmitter converts a computer graphics signal into a balanced twisted pair format that preserves image quality across distances when paired with a TP-120 twisted pair receiver or other Kramer-compatible receivers. With its compact wall-plate design, the WP-110 blends seamlessly into any control room, classroom, or home theater installation, delivering professional performance without sacrificing wall space or aesthetics. It is ideal for applications where a clean, discreet installation is essential, such as lecture halls, conference rooms, or media labs, and for environments that require flexible routing of high-resolution graphics from a computer to a distant display through a standard copper cable run.

• High-resolution support: The WP-110 is designed to handle computer graphics video signals at resolutions up to and beyond UXGA, ensuring sharp text, precise color, and accurate graphics reproduction on displays. This makes it well-suited for CAD workstations, digital design classrooms, medical imaging setups, and any scenario where precise image fidelity is critical. The transmitter maintains image integrity over twisted pair paths, enabling smooth, flicker-free presentation even at demanding resolutions.
• Compact wall-plate form factor: The WP-110’s sleek wall plate design provides a professional, unobtrusive installation that preserves space in control rooms and equipment racks. Its low-profile footprint fits into standard wall boxes, delivering a clean, finished look while keeping signal performance front and center. This form factor is especially valuable in venues where aesthetic concerns matter just as much as signal quality, such as executive briefing rooms and high-end classrooms.
• Easy integration with Kramer ecosystem: This transmitter is designed to work in tandem with the TP-120 twisted pair receiver, offering a reliable, turnkey solution for transmitting computer graphics video over twisted pair. The WP-110 can also pair with other compatible Kramer receivers, providing flexible integration options for existing systems. This compatibility helps preserve your investment when expanding or updating AV installations and makes system design simpler for integrators.
• Robust signal conversion and transmission: By converting a computer graphics video signal into a twisted pair format, the WP-110 enables long cable runs without sacrificing image clarity. The robust signal path reduces susceptibility to interference and crosstalk that can occur in busy AV environments, preserving color accuracy and sharpness across the transmitted image. When paired with the TP-120, the system delivers a dependable end-to-end solution that is well-suited to corporate environments, education facilities, and broadcast-ready setups.
• Versatile deployment scenarios: The WP-110 supports a wide range of installations—from single-projector setups to multi-room distribution networks—where convenient, reliable high-resolution signal transport is required. Its wall-plate design, combined with Kramer’s established reputation for quality and support, makes it a preferred choice for integrators seeking predictable performance and straightforward installation in demanding AV environments.

How to install Kramer WP-110

Installing the WP-110 is a straightforward process designed for reliable performance with minimal disruption to your existing workflow. Follow these general steps to integrate the WP-110 into a typical computer graphics video distribution setup:

1) Plan the signal path: Determine the source computer graphics device location, the wall plate mounting site for the WP-110, and where the receiving end (TP-120 or compatible Kramer receiver) will be located to display the image.

2) Power considerations: Ensure power is available for the transmitter and the receiver if required by your specific installation. If the WP-110 requires external power, connect it to a suitable power source per local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s guidelines.

3) Mount the WP-110: Install the WP-110 into a standard wall box or acoustic/audio/video rack as appropriate for your environment. Secure the unit firmly to ensure stable operation and minimize potential cable strain.

4) Connect the source: Attach the computer graphics output to the WP-110 input using the recommended connection interface specified by Kramer (typically a high-quality video interface suitable for computer graphics—exact connector type will match the WP-110’s input design). Ensure a snug, secure connection to preserve signal integrity.

5) Run twisted pair cabling: Connect a quality twisted pair cable from the WP-110 to the TP-120 receiver (or another Kramer-compatible receiver) on the display end. Use cable lengths consistent with the system’s design and recommended maximums to maintain signal quality.

6) Connect the receiver: On the receiving side, connect the TP-120 (or compatible unit) to the display device (monitor, projector, or video wall). Ensure the receiver is properly configured to decode the twisted pair signal back into a digital or analog computer graphics video signal suitable for the display.

7) Power up and test: Power on all devices and perform a test signal check. Verify that the image is correctly transmitted, with crisp resolution, accurate color reproduction, and minimal latency. If adjustments are needed, verify cable connections, source settings, and display input configuration.

8) Fine-tuning and maintenance: Periodically inspect connections for tightness and cleanliness, and ensure twisted pair cables remain undamaged. Regularly update firmware on compatible Kramer receivers if updates are available to maintain optimal performance and compatibility with newer sources.
