Your Kramer TOOLS TP-114 1:4 XGA/HD DA/CAT 5 Transmitter is a
high-performance distribution amplifier for computer graphics video or
HDTV signals. It converts a computer graphics video or HDTV signal on a
15-pin HD connector to four identical twisted pair signals.
The TP-114:
• Receives a computer graphics
1
/HD
2
signal and transmits it over four
CAT 5 cables to appropriate receivers
3
• Has a resolution of up to UXGA, and a transmission range of more than
300 feet (more than 100 meters)
• Can change the polarity of decoding H and V Sync for video
• Includes the Power Connect™ feature
• Is powered by 12V DC
3.1 About the Power Connect Feature
The
Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the cable can carry power.
This feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not
exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge
cable should be used
4
. For units which are connected via RJ-45 connectors,
make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal casing
of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units which are connected
via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be
connected to a ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground
terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).
For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)/Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
We
recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable. There are
different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best
quality STP cable that you can afford. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer
BC-STP is intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue. For
1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on an 15-pin HD connector
having a resolution from VGA up to UXGA
2 The TP-114 accepts high definition resolutions: 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
3 Note that the CAT 5 connectors exclude audio
4 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
