3.2Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)/Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, and stress that the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP cable. There are different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best quality STP cable that you can afford. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer BC-STPis intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue.
In cases where there is skewing, our Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP, may be advantageous, and UTP cable might also be preferable for long range applications. In any event when using UTP cable, it is advisable to ensure that the cable is installed far away from electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
3.3Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the WP-121to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.
EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
The WP-121is supplied with a default EDID but it can also store and recall EDID data in non-volatile memory, allowing convenient and reliable connection to the source.
