Overview

3Overview

The TP-45/TP-45RCand TP-46are a twisted pair transmitter and receiver for component video (YUV) or computer graphics video and unbalanced stereo audio or S/PDIF audio signals. The TP-45/TP-45RCtransmitter converts audio and video to a twisted pair signal and the TP-46converts the twisted pair signal back into audio and video signals.

The TP-45and TP-45RChave two SELECT buttons that let you choose the video signal input (XGA1 or component) as well as the audio input (digital or analog signal). By selecting the required video input signal, the TP-45or TP-45RCwith the TP-46can constitute either a component video (Y, CB/PB, CR/PR) or an XGA video – audio transmitter / receiver system2:

•If XGA is selected, the TP-45or TP-45RCreceives an XGA signal3 and transmits it over the twisted pair cable to the XGA output on the TP-46receiver

•If component video is selected, the component video signal3 is transmitted over the twisted pair cable to the COMP outputs on the TP-46receiver

•The analog audio or S/PDIF (digital audio)—as selected via the audio SELECT button—is transmitted together with the video signal over the twisted pair cable to the TP-46receiver

•The TP-45RCcan execute these control functions also remotely using simple pushbuttons

The audio signal is distributed simultaneously to the analog or digital audio outputs.

Additional TP-46units can be connected via the TP-46LINE OUT twisted pair connector, to extend the range of the output signals4.

The TP-45Component/XGA – Audio Transmitter features:

•Transmission range of more than 300ft (more than 100m)

•YUV5 input on 3 RCA connectors and a computer graphics input on a 15-pin HD (F) connector

1 The term XGA used throughout this manual implies resolutions exceeding UXGA

2 The TP-45/TP-45RC and TP-46 do not convert the video signal format. Thus computer graphics sources must be routed to computer graphics outputs. Similarly, component video sources must be routed to component video outputs

3 And audio signal

4 You can connect up to three additional TP-46 units, adding a total cable length of up to 300 meters. The video quality may be reduced if further units are connected

5 Also known as Y, Cb, Cr, or Y, B-Y, R-Y, or Y, Pb, Pr
