ADDENDUM: Included with user manuals for machines with a CAT5 connector

This addendum describes the Power Connect feature used with Kramer machines, and the choice between STP and UTP CAT5 cables.

Power Connect Feature1

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 over the same CAT5 cable.

The Power Connect feature applies as long as the CAT5 cable is heavy gauge cable (that is, it can carry power). The distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard cable.

For a distance of 100 meters, separate power supplies must be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously, unless using heavy gauge CAT5 cable.

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

The decision whether to use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable depends on the nature of the application.

It is recommended that in applications with high interference, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable will give better results. However, the shield itself does create a capacitance that degrades the frequency response of the machines. For shorter distances, of 50m or so, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable is preferred because it provides protection from interference (degradation is non-apparent).

For a long range application, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is preferred. However, the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable should be installed far away from electric cables, motors etc., which are prone to create electrical interference.

1 This section of the addendum is only relevant to machines that support this feature (for example, the TP-104; not the TP-100)

TP-100 specifications

Kramer Electronics TP-100 is an innovative solution designed for the professional audio-visual industry. This versatile product offers a range of features that make it an essential tool for video signal transmission over long distances, ensuring high-quality performance and reliability.

The TP-100 is primarily recognized as a high-definition HDMI over twisted pair transmitter. It utilizes advanced technology to convert HDMI signals into signals suitable for transmission over CAT5e/CAT6 cabling, allowing users to send video and audio signals up to an impressive distance of 70 meters at 1080p resolution. This capability is particularly beneficial for integrators and installers who need to run cables over long distances without degradation of image quality.

One of the standout features of the TP-100 is its support for various resolutions, which includes not only standard HD but also 4K resolutions at a shorter range. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide array of devices, making it an ideal choice for setups that may include both older and cutting-edge technologies. The device also supports stereo audio, ensuring that sound quality matches the high-definition video output.

The TP-100 is built with user convenience in mind. It features EDID management, allowing for the easy selection and management of video formats to ensure optimal signal compatibility between connected devices. This eliminates the hassle of manually configuring settings, making the installation process much smoother.

Additionally, the TP-100 incorporates robust technological components, including hot-plug detection, which allows for seamless device connection and disconnection. It also includes built-in cable equalization, which compensates for signal loss over longer cable runs, ensuring that signal integrity is maintained even at extended distances.

In terms of connectivity, the TP-100 is equipped with a standard HDMI input and a twisted pair output, simplifying the connection process to other Kramer devices or third-party equipment. Its compact design allows for easy integration into any AV setup without taking up excessive space.

For professionals seeking a reliable and high-performance solution for HDMI signal transmission, Kramer Electronics TP-100 stands out as a powerful product that combines advanced technology, ease of use, and impressive range capabilities. Whether it is for corporate presentations, educational environments, or large event setups, the TP-100 delivers outstanding results, making it an excellent addition to any AV system.
