3 Overview
This section describes:
A summary of the TP-202, see section 3.1
The power connect feature, see section 3.2
Using shielded twisted pair (STP) / unshielded twisted pair (UTP), see
section 3.3
Recommendations for achieving the best performance, see section 3.4
3.1 About the TP-202 UXGA Line Receiver / DA
The Kramer TOOLS TP-202 receives a computer graphics
1
signal which is
transmitted via CAT5 cabling, and distributes it to two XGA outputs
simultaneously.
The TP-202 UXGA Line Transceiver / DA:
Has a transmission range of more than 150 ft. (more than 50 meters)
Can receive HD signals (high definition resolutions: 480p, 576p, 720p,
1080i and 1080p)
Includes two XGA outputs on HD15F connectors
Includes EQ. and LEVEL controls
Can change the polarity of decoding H and V Sync for UXGA graphics
Is 12VDC fed and can power or be powered by the receiver over the
same CAT5 cable (see section 3.2)
Features a CAT5 output for transmitting the signal to an additional
receiver
3.2 About the Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature lets you power a transmitter / receiver system by
connecting just one power adapter— to either the transmitter or the receiver.
The other unit is fed via the cable connecting between the transmitter/receiver.
The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. The
distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard CAT5 cable, for longer
distances, heavy gauge cable should be used
2
.
For a CAT5 cable exceeding a distance of 50 meters, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on an HD15 connector
having a resolution from VGA up to UXGA
2 CAT5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
