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, and up to 100m (328ft) for 4K @30Hz when using
BC-HDKat6a cables. When using an extended range receiver, 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 to limit the resolution to 1080p @60Hz.

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 which passes electrical power along with data over 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
• HDCP compliancy—works with sources that support HDCP repeater mode
- I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – Intelligent EDID handling & processing algorithm ensures Plug and Play operation for HDMI systems
- A lockable EDID
- Remote control via contact-closure switches
• Equalization and reclocking of the data
• Support for digital audio formats
• Availability in US and European versions
3.1 About HDBaseT™ Technology

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 you select an input using either the remote input selection switches or the Web-page interface and switching occurs whether or not there is a live signal present on the input.
In auto mode, the switching selection is performed based on either last connected or priority input.
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 sync signal is lost for any reason, the input with a live signal and next in priority is selected automatically. This priority is configurable; the default setting is 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
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).
Note: Analog audio is not transmitted when there is no display connected. If a display is connected analog audio is output even in the absence of a video signal.
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.
| Selected Video Input | HDMI Embedded Audio Detected | Analog Audio Detected | DIP-switch 3 | DIP-switch 4 | Audio on HDBT Output |
| VGA | N/A | Yes | N/A | N/A | Analog audio |
| VGA | N/A | No | N/A | N/A | No audio |
| HDMI | N/A | N/A | Manual | Embedded | Embedded audio |
| HDMI | N/A | N/A | Manual | Analog | Analog audio |
| HDMI | Yes | No | Auto | N/A | Embedded audio |
| HDMI | Yes | Yes | Auto | Embedded | Embedded audio |
| HDMI | Yes | Yes | Auto | Analog | Analog audio |
| HDMI | No | Yes | Auto | N/A | Analog audio |
| HDMI | No | No | Auto | N/A | No audio |
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 minimize phase on the input VGA signal, the VGA sampling 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.
7 Operating the WP-5VH2
Powering up the WP-5VH2 recalls the last settings from the non-volatile memory, (that is, the configuration of the device when it was powered down).
7.1 Selecting an Input Manually
Any of the following methods can be used to select an input:
- Protocol 3000 command
- Remote contact-closure switch
- Web pages
7.2 Locking the EDID
To prevent the stored EDID (either default or read from a device) from being overwritten, either send a Protocol 3000 command or use the Web pages to lock the EDID.
Note: Do not power up the display before locking the EDID or the EDID from the display is stored.
7.3 Resetting the WP-5VH2
To perform a soft reset of the WP-5VH2:
- Briefly press the Reset button.
The device resets
To reset the WP-5VH2 to factory default parameters:
- Press and hold the Reset button for five seconds.
The device is reset to factory default parameters
7.4 Analog Audio Output Volume Control
The analog audio output volume can be controlled using remote, contact-closure switches connected to pins 3 and 4 of the Remote terminal block, (see Section 5.1). For volume control using the Web pages, see Section 9.1.
The up/down volume steps per press are detailed in the table below.
| Ramp | Volume Reading | Volume (dB) |

• Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see Section 13.1)
• Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see Section 13.2)
13.1 Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax
13.1.1 Host Message Format
| Start | Address (optional) | Body | Delimiter |
| # | Destination_id@ | Message | CR |
13.1.1.1 Simple Command
Command string with only one command without addressing:
| Start | Body | Delimiter |
| # | Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,... | CR |
13.1.1.2 Command String
Formal syntax with commands concatenation and addressing:
| Start | Address | Body | Delimiter |
| # | Destination_id@ | Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,...|Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,...|Command_3Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,...|... | CR |
13.1.2 Device Message Format
| Start | Address (optional) | Body | delimiter |
| ~ | Sender_id@ | Message | CR LF |
13.1.2.1 Device Long Response
Echoing command:
| Start | Address (optional) | Body | Delimiter |
| ~ | Sender_id@ | Command SP [Param1,Param2 ...] result | CR LF |
CR= Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
= Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A )
13.1.3 Command Terms
Command
A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-'').
Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space.
Parameters
A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters ('0'-9', 'A'-Z', 'a'-z' and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.
Message string
Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message
starting character and ends with a message closing character.
Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe ( ' |' ) character.
Message starting character
'#' – For host command/query
'\~' – For device response
Device address (Optional, for K-NET)
K-NET Device ID followed by '@'
Query sign
'?' follows some commands to define a query request.
Message closing character
CR- For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)
CRLF – For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)
Command chain separator character
When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ( 'l' ) character separates each command.
Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.
13.1.4 Entering Commands
You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial or Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key.
( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).
For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers, (for example, Crestron) some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.
13.1.5 Command Forms
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.
13.1.6 Chaining Commands
Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character ("|"). When chaining commands, enter the message starting character and the message closing character only once, at the beginning of the string and at the end.
Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered. A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.
13.1.7 Maximum String Length
64 characters
13.2 Kramer Protocol 3000 Commands
The following table lists the Protocol 3000 commands that the WP-5VH2 supports. For a full description of the commands, see the Kramer Protocol 3000 document available from http://www.kramerelectronics.com.
Note: The WP-5VH2 can only receive commands from a device, (for example, an HDBT transmitter) via the HDBaseT link, and only at 9600bps.
