Defining the TP-145/TP-146

The TP-145can store and recall EDID data in non-volatile memory, allowing convenient and reliable connection to the source.

3.3Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1 to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low-quality cables)

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality, and position your Kramer TP-145/TP-146away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This section defines the:

•TP-145,XGA/Audio/Data Line Transmitter (see Section 4.1)

•TP-146,UXGA/Audio/Data Line Receiver (see Section 4.2)

4.1Defining the TP-145 XGA/Audio/Data Line Transmitter

The TP-145is a high-performance transmitter that accepts:

•A computer graphics input signal

•An unbalanced stereo analog audio signal

•RS-232 control commands

The TP-145encodes the signals and transmits them over TP cable to a TP-146receiver. The stereo analog audio signal is converted to a digital audio (S/PDIF) stream before transmission, thus preserving the quality of the audio source signals. Commands and data can flow in both directions simultaneously via the RS-232 interface, allowing status requests and control of the destination unit.

When the TP-145is connected to a display device and the EDID CAPTURE button is pressed, the TP-145reads and stores the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) from the display device. This prevents the problem whereby a
