Connecting a Component/XGA – Audio Distribution System

5.2Connecting the System in Component Video Mode

To configure a TP-45/TP-45RC/TP-46Component/XGA – Audio distribution system1 in the component video mode, as the example in Figure 7 illustrates, do the following:

1.On the TP-45or TP-45RC, connect the following:

A component video source (for example, a DVD player) to the Y, Cb/Pb, Cr/Pr RCA connectors

A digital audio source to the S/PDIF RCA connector2

2.If necessary, set the HS and VS switches3, on the TP-45underside.

3.On the TP-45, use the SELECT buttons as follows:

Release the video SELECT button to choose the component video input

Press the audio SELECT button to choose S/PDIF

Release the audio SELECT button to choose analog audio

4.On the TP-45RC, use the SELECT buttons as follows:

Momentarily press the VIDEO SELECT button. The UXGA LED turns off when the component video input is selected

Momentarily press the AUDIO SELECT button to toggle between the S/PDIF4 and analog audio inputs

5.On the TP-46, connect the following:

The Y, CB/PB, CR/PR RCA connectors to a component video acceptor (for example, a plasma display)

The S/PDIF RCA connector5 to the digital audio acceptor (for example, the audio input on the plasma display)

6.Connect the LINE OUTPUT RJ-45 connector on the TP-45/TP-45RCto the LINE IN RJ-45 connector on the TP-46, via twisted pair cabling, see section 5.4.

7.Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity on both6 the TP-45/TP-45RCand the

1 Using up to 300ft (100m) of UTP cabling

2 Alternatively, you can connect an analog audio source

3 By default, both switches are set down (for normal V SYNC and H SYNC polarity)

4 The analog audio LED lights when analog audio is selected

5 Alternatively, you can connect an analog audio acceptor, or you can connect both

6 If you cannot connect the power to both the TP-45 and TP-46, connect it to the TP-46 only. If more than one TP-46 is connected, connect the power to each TP-46 unit
