Get a full AVoIP streaming solution for anywhere low-latency, high-quality video presentation is required.

WP-SW2-EN7 is an auto-switcher and advanced wall-plate encoder for streaming 4K @ 60Hz (4:2:0) a selected video signal, RS-232, or CEC signals via Ethernet over copper cable in unicast (one-to-one) or multicast (one-to-many) configurations.

WP-SW2-EN7 encodes and streams the video signal from one of two selectable inputs, and transmits RS-232 or CEC signals over an IP network. Kramer KDS-DEC7 decodes the video signal and receives RS-232 or CEC signals.

WP-SW2-EN7 provides exceptional quality, advanced and user-friendly operation, and flexible control.

Exceptional Quality
• Instantaneous Switching Time – 1 second switching time between selectable video inputs
• Video Streaming Transmitter/receiver – Streams up to 4K @ 60Hz (4:2:0) resolution signals over a 1G network interface
• HDR Support – HDR10 up to 4K @ 30Hz 4:2:2 12 bits
• Supports HDCP 2.2
• Streaming Support – Provides unicast and multicast streaming
• Flexible Analog Audio Embedding and De-embedding – Select the balanced analog audio as input to embed into the streaming and HDMI™ output signal, or as output to extract the HDMI audio signal and output it as balanced analog audio
• Easy To Use KM/KVM Support – Searchable, OSD menu for KM and fully configurable KVM roaming

Advanced and User-friendly Operation
• Convenient and Comprehensive Control – Control the unit using intuitive embedded web pages, Protocol 3000 API commands via Ethernet, or front panel LCD and navigation buttons
• PoE Support – Powered with PoE connection from PoE switch
• Control Gateway – Through P3K or special TCP connection, users can control/communicate with IR, RS-232, or CEC to the connected devices
• Separate Service LAN Port – can be used for physical separation between AV and command streams to separate LAN for security and reliability purposes

Flexible Connectivity
• Selectable Inputs – 1 HDMI and 1 USB-C input
• Analog/embedded audio inputs and outputs
• Plug-and-play with Netgear M4250 AVoIP switches, Kramer Control, KDS-USB2, etc

Ideal for Large-Scale Deployments
• Highly scalable – the KDS-7 line supports up to 1000 video sources, suited to the largest installations.
• State-of-the-art management device with advanced management capabilities that are provided via the dedicated management device, including multi-device grouping, preset virtual matrix stream routes, group configuration management and role-based access management.
• Extensive set of management capabilities features with open P3K APIs, a front panel LCD screen and an intuitive, embedded web-based user interface, KDS-7 devices provide a rich set of tools for deployment and configuration. This enables audio-visual experiences in any space, large or small, and allows management from anywhere for reliable and flexible operational management.

Robust Security
• Enterprise IT-grade security – KDS-7 devices comply with IT security requirements, including 802.1x and HTTP-S/TLS.
• Security certification – All devices carry OWASP Top 10 certification for web application security.
• Separate ethernet ports for optimal security and experience -Physical separation between control and AV data over two separate Ethernet ports ensures IT control and an uninterrupted audio-visual experience.

Simple Planning and Rollout
• Cost-effective from day one – Plug-and-play integration with leading IP network switches, such as Netgear M4250 series, enable deployment in a wide variety of network topologies. There is no need to deal with complex IP packets prioritization or switching setting. Offering easy management, high reliability and adjustable bandwidth control, KDS-7 is extremely cost-effective to maintain over the long term
• Full product range for any site, any application – The comprehensive KDS-7 line spans encoders, decoders and auto-switcher encoders in a choice of rack and wall-plate form factors, as well as a dedicated manager device. The broad set of products within the KDS-7 product line allows quick and cost-effective rollout of AV-enabled spaces of all forms and size. The eight different KDS-7 devices can be combined in any way, with any quantity of decoders, according to the site needs.
• Integrated with Kramer’s complete audio-visual solutions, KDS-7 line is part of Kramer’s market-leading full AVoIP-based solution. It is pre-integrated with Kramer Control, allowing efficient deployment and control of any space, at a fraction of the time and cost of standalone alternatives. It also works perfectly with KDS-USB2 for AVoIP remote access to any USB peripheral devices, such as webcams.
