3 Overview

The Kramer TP-122Nis an XGA/audio line receiver that receives the coded CAT 5 signal transmitted by a TP-121EDIDXGA / Audio Line Transmitter, for example, decodes it and converts it to XGA, stereo analog and S/PDIF digital audio outputs. The TP-122N, with the TP-121EDIDtransmitter, allows an operation range of more than 300ft (more than 100m) over standard CAT 5 cable.

The TP-122N:

Is HDTV Compatible

Has a maximum resolution of WUXGA and 1080p

Includes EQ. and level controls

Can power or be powered by the transmitter over the same CAT 5 cable when the devices are within 50m (150ft) of each other

Is 12V DC fed

The TP-122Nis housed in compact TOOLS® enclosure where three units can be rack mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-3Track adapter.

3.1Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, and stress that the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using 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-STPis intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue.

In cases where there is skewing, our Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP, may be advantageous, and UTP cable might also be preferable for long range applications. In any event when using UTP cable, it is advisable to ensure that the cable is installed far away from electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
