3 Overview

The Kramer WP-209 wall plate features:

 A computer graphics PC INPUT on a standard HD-15 connector
 An amplified and equalized RGBHV/UXGA/YPbPr output on an HD-15

connector

 An unbalanced stereo AUDIO input on a 3.5mm mini jack with a

corresponding balanced stereo AUDIO output on a 5-pole terminal block

In addition, the WP-209 wall plate comes with pass through connectors for:

 Composite video on an RCA connector
 Unbalanced stereo audio on RCA connectors
 Ethernet on an RJ-45 connector

In particular, the WP-209 has:

 Trimmer controls for UXGA EQ.1, and UXGA Level
 Separate trimmer controls for right and left line audio level
 Resolution exceeding UXGA, that ensures transparent operation
 A standard 12 Volt DC feed

Achieving the best performance means:
 Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and
elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

 Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and

positioning your WP-209 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.

Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power

wall adapter that is provided with this unit2.

Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

2 Can be used for any RGBHV resolution (for example, VGA, XGA, UXGA and so on). You can connect a component HD

source (for example, a set top box with YPbPr outputs), using a breakout VGA-to-RCA/BNC cable (for example, the Kramer

C-GM/3RVF cable). If you have a VGA to a 5 BNC cable, use the RGB wires only. For direct wiring, the input connector

PINOUT is as follows: PIN 1 for Pr; PIN 2 for Y; and PIN 3 for Pb

1 Degradation and UXGA signal loss can result from using long cables (due to stray capacitance), sometimes leading to a

total loss of sharpness in high-resolution signals

2 Insert a screwdriver into the small hole and carefully rotate it, trimming the appropriate level

3 Can be used for unbalanced audio. To do this, connect using the “+” and “G” terminal only (leave the “–” terminal

unconnected – see Figure 6)

5.1 Installing the WP-209

To install your WP-209:

1. Connect the HD15M output connector1 to the pre-installed wiring in the
wall box opening that connects to the UXGA acceptor (for example, a
projector), as Figure 7 defines.

2. Connect the AUDIO output (for example, to a power amplifier with
speakers), as one of the following:

Figure 6: Connecting the AUDIO Output

3. Connect your 12V DC power supply to the POWER pins2, taking care that

polarity is correct.

4. Insert the WP-209 directly into the wall box opening, and then mount the
front panel securely using the screws.

5.2 Operating the WP-209

To operate your WP-209:

1. Connect your computer graphic’s source (for example, a laptop’s digital
graphics card) to the PC INPUT HD15F connector and to the PC INPUT
audio 3.5mm mini jack, for example, using a Kramer C-GMA/GMA cable
(VGA HD15M +Audio jack to VGA HD15M +Audio jack)3. (Alternatively,
you can connect separate audio source to the PC AUDIO INPUT.).

2. Connect the LOOP HD15F connector to an additional display

3. Connect the video source (for example, a composite video player) to the
VIDEO RCA connector and to the LEFT and RIGHT audio RCA connectors.

4. If required, connect the ETHERNET RJ-45 connector.

1 For component HDTV, use a breakout VGA-to-RCA/BNC cable (for example, the Kramer C-GM/3RVF cable). For direct

wiring, the output connector PINOUT is as follows: PIN 1 for Pr; PIN 2 for Y; and PIN 3 for Pb

2 Connect the wire labeled “+” to the +12V pin, and the wire labeled “–” to the GND pin

3 Not supplied. The complete list of Kramer cables is on our Web site at http://www.kramerelectronics.com
