ECLER WPTI1CG2

Product overview

The ECLER WPTI1CG2 is an H.265 / H.264 video over IP wall plate transmitter that puts an HDMI input on a white EU-format plate and streams it over a 1Gb Ethernet network, up to 100 m on a single Cat 5e or higher cable.

Built for visible installations, the WPTI1CG2 combines an HDMI input, an RJ-45 port with PoE and a reset button behind a white magnetic cover. It supports resolutions up to WUXGA and 1080p with 100 ms average latency, unicast and multicast distribution, main and sub streams for preview, and video walls up to 9 x 9 with the VEO-XCTRLG2 controller. It is configured from its built-in WebGUI or from the VEO-XCTRLG2, and fits round 60 mm electrical boxes or the included surface box.

A wall plate that streams

The WPTI1CG2 turns an HDMI source at the wall, such as a laptop at a meeting table or a player in a shop, into a network stream. Each transmitter streams on a unique ID channel (0 to 762) and every VEO-XRI1CG2 receiver set to the same channel shows it, so one source can reach many displays over a managed gigabit switch with IGMP snooping.

Easy set-up

The default address is auto IP in the 169.254.10.x range, or the VEO-XCTRLG2 assigns it. The web interface shows device information, sets H.265 or H.264 and the bitrate for main and sub streams, chooses one of the built-in or two user EDIDs, and handles network settings, HTTPS, firmware update and factory reset. The VEO1CG2 Discovery App from ecler.com finds all VEO-1CG2 devices on the network.

Discreet installation

A white metal cover sits magnetically on a grey base: detach the cover, screw the base to the box, and refit the cover. With PoE from the switch, one network cable carries both video and power.

ECLER WPTI1CG2: frequently asked questions

Which receiver does it work with?

The WPTI1CG2 streams to VEO-XRI1CG2 receivers; the VEO-XCTRLG2 controller adds video walls, EDID management and central control.

Does it need a power adapter?

Not when the network switch supplies PoE. Otherwise a 5 V DC supply connects to its 2-pin Euroblock input.

What network does it need?

A layer 3 managed gigabit switch with IGMP snooping, and Cat 5e or higher cable up to 100 m.

How is it mounted?

On a 60 mm round in-wall electrical box, or on the surface mount box included in the package.

Where can I buy the ECLER WPTI1CG2 in India?

The ECLER WPTI1CG2 is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.

Workflow 1: Meeting room table input

Connections

Setup

1. Mount the plate on a 60 mm round box near the table.
2. Connect the plate to a PoE port of the managed switch.
3. Set the transmitter ID channel in its web page.
4. Set the receiver at the display to the same channel.

Tip: With PoE the plate needs no local power supply.

Workflow 2: Shop window promotion

One player feeds promotions to several screens across a store.

Connections

Setup

1. Install the plate near the media player.
2. Give every unit a unique IP address.
3. Set all receivers to the transmitter's ID channel.
4. Check each screen.

Tip: Use a gigabit switch with IGMP snooping for multicast.

Workflow 3: Hotel lobby signage

A reception PC sends information to lobby screens.

Connections

Setup

1. Fix the plate with the included surface box where no in-wall box exists.
2. Connect it to the network.
3. Select the EDID that suits the screens in the web page.
4. Assign the receivers to the channel.

Tip: Sub stream preview helps operators check the content.

Workflow 4: Gym video wall

A training video spread over several screens in a 3 x 3 wall.

Connections

Setup

1. Add a VEO-XCTRLG2 controller to the network.
2. Create the video wall layout in the controller.
3. Assign one receiver to each screen position.
4. Route the WPTI1CG2 source to the wall.

Tip: Video walls up to 9 x 9 are managed by the VEO-XCTRLG2.

Workflow 5: Classroom lectern

A teacher's computer shown on displays at the back of a long room.

Connections

Setup

1. Mount the plate at the lectern.
2. Set the bitrate in the web page if the network is busy.
3. Set the receivers to the same ID channel.
4. Test the image on every display.

Tip: Bitrate is configurable from 1 to 20 Mbps.

Workflow 6: Corporate multi-source system
