Kramer Active Wall Plate HDMI Over Twisted Pair Receiver

The Kramer WP-572 Active Wall Plate HDMI Over Twisted Pair Receiver is a professional-grade solution crafted to streamline and secure how HDMI signals travel across spaces. Working in concert with the WP-571 transmitter, this receiver brings the convenience of HDMI over a single twisted-pair cable to commercial environments like conference rooms, control centers, classrooms, and digital signage installations. By housing the receiver in a compact wall plate, it hides messy cables, reduces clutter, and creates a safer, more aesthetically pleasing setup for employees, clients, and visitors alike. This combination unlocks long-reaching HDMI distribution without sacrificing signal integrity, enabling clear video, synchronized audio, and reliable performance across a variety of room sizes and layouts.

• DGKat twisted pair technology for HDMI extension - The WP-572 decodes the signal transmitted over a DGKat-enabled twisted pair from the WP-571. This enables robust HDMI distribution over longer distances than standard copper HDMI cables, helping you connect display devices that are far from the source while maintaining image quality and audio fidelity.
• HDMI signal restoration and seamless conversion - After receiving the signal over twisted pair, the WP-572 restores and converts it back to a native HDMI signal for the display. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of HDMI-equipped monitors, projectors, and televisions, delivering crisp picture and reliable multi-channel audio from your source device.
• Discrete wall plate enclosure for clean installations - The compact wall plate design mounts flush in wall cavities, concealing cabling paths and eliminating visible wires. This creates a professional, finished look that enhances room aesthetics while reducing trip hazards and cable wear in high-traffic areas.
• Designed for professional environments - Built to withstand daily use in busy workplaces, classrooms, and event spaces, the WP-572 integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure. Its compact footprint and durable construction support scalable deployments—from small meeting rooms to large campuses—without compromising safety or performance.
• Easy integration with existing HDMI sources and displays - When paired with the WP-571 transmitter, the WP-572 fits into standard AV workflows. It accepts HDMI input from your source and delivers HDMI output to your display, with the added benefit of simplified cable routing and centralized cable management through twisted pair cabling.

How to install Kramer Active Wall Plate HDMI Over Twisted Pair Receiver

• Plan your installation by identifying the HDMI source location and the display location. Run a single twisted pair (Cat5e/Cat6) cable between the WP-571 transmitter and the WP-572 receiver, using appropriate in-wall rated cabling as required by local code.
• Mount the WP-571 transmitter at or near the HDMI source and the WP-572 receiver at the display destination. Ensure both units are securely housed and positioned for optimal signal performance.
• Connect the WP-571 transmitter to the HDMI source with a standard HDMI cable, then connect the transmitter to the twisted pair link. Secure the twisted pair connection to minimize signal degradation over long runs.
• At the display end, connect the WP-572 receiver to the display using an HDMI cable. Verify that the twisted pair link remains intact and that all connections are solid and free of strain.
• Power up the source and the display. Use the display’s input selection to choose the HDMI input corresponding to the WP-572 output. If needed, adjust EDID settings or display resolution to match the source capabilities and room requirements for clean, stable playback.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the purpose of the WP-572? A: The WP-572 is the HDMI over twisted pair receiver that converts the DGKat signal carried on a twisted pair back into a standard HDMI signal for your display, enabling high-quality HDMI delivery from a remote source.
• Q: How does pairing work with the WP-571 transmitter? A: The WP-571 converts an HDMI signal to a single twisted pair signal which is then carried over Cat5e/Cat6 cable to the WP-572, where the signal is restored for HDMI output to the display.
• Q: What cables are required? A: A standard HDMI cable is needed at both ends for source-to-transmitter and receiver-to-display connections, plus a twisted pair (Cat5e/Cat6) cable to link the transmitter and receiver.
• Q: Is this system suitable for professional environments? A: Yes. The wall-plate design and prepared mechanism support clean, safe installations in conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, and other corporate or educational settings.
• Q: Can I extend HDMI over long distances? A: The DGKat technology used by Kramer enables HDMI signals to travel over twisted pair over longer distances than conventional HDMI cabling, which helps reduce the need for additional hubs or extenders in many room layouts. Always refer to the specific model’s distance specifications for maximum reach.
• Q: Are there any safety or installation considerations? A: Install in accordance with local electrical and building codes. Use in-wall rated cabling where required, and secure the wall plate to prevent accidental dislodgement in high-traffic areas.
