tp-145 specifications

Kramer Electronics is synonymous with high-quality audio-visual products, and their TP-145 model stands out as a noteworthy solution for signal extension and transmission. The TP-145 is primarily designed as a twisted pair transmitter that allows for the seamless transfer of HDMI signals over a long distance. This capability makes it an ideal choice for professional AV installations where maintaining signal integrity and quality is crucial.

One of the standout features of the TP-145 is its ability to support resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz, ensuring that users can enjoy ultra-high-definition video output. This makes the TP-145 particularly appealing for environments such as conference rooms, educational institutions, and event spaces, where high-quality visuals are essential for presentations and demonstrations.

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.
