Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AVoIP encoder switcher and how does it work?
An AVoIP encoder switcher combines video switching and network encoding in one device. The Kramer WP-SW2 accepts video inputs, switches between sources, and encodes the selected signal for transmission over standard Ethernet networks, eliminating the need for specialized AV cabling.
Can this 4K video streaming transmitter work with existing network infrastructure?
Yes. The WP-SW2-EN7/US-D(W) uses standard 1G network interfaces, making it compatible with most enterprise network infrastructure without requiring dedicated AV networks or specialized equipment.
What are the advantages of unicast vs. multicast streaming?
Unicast sends video to specific endpoints, ideal for point-to-point applications. Multicast distributes to multiple receivers simultaneously, reducing bandwidth usage for one-to-many distribution scenarios. This encoder supports both modes for maximum flexibility.
Is the wall plate design suitable for permanent installation?
Yes. The compact wall-mounted form factor integrates seamlessly into standard AV installations, conference rooms, and broadcast facilities, providing a professional appearance while maintaining full encoding and switching capabilities.
