The TP-145 also features advanced color depth support, which extends to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, ensuring that colors remain vibrant and true to life over long cable runs. Additionally, the product is equipped with HDMI audio extraction capabilities, allowing users to extract audio signals separately, a particularly useful feature in scenarios where sound systems require different audio pathways.

Another critical characteristic of the TP-145 is its robust build quality designed to withstand the rigors of professional environments. It features a compact form factor that allows for easy mounting configurations, whether on racks or directly on surfaces. Furthermore, the user-friendly design includes LED indicators which provide real-time feedback on signal status, simplifying troubleshooting and installation processes.
