Overview

This section describes:
• The TP-107AVR/TP-122 BoardView™ kits, see section 3.1
• The RC-108 and the RC-116, presentation controllers, see section 3.2
• Using shielded twisted pair (STP)/unshielded twisted pair (UTP), see
section 3.3
• The Power Connect™ feature, see section 3.4
• Recommendations for achieving the best performance, see section 3.5
3.1 About the TP-107AVR/TP-122 Kits
The TP-
computer graphics
107AVR is an XGA/Audio Line Transmitter that accepts a
1
video signal and an analog audio signal and transmits
them over a CAT 5 cable.
The TP-122 is an XGA/Audio Line Receiver
2
that receives the coded CAT 5
signal transmitted by a TP-107AVR decodes it and converts it to XGA,
stereo analog and S/PDIF digital audio outputs.
You can use a single TP-107AVR unit together with the TP-122 to
configure an XGA/Audio Line to Twisted Pair Transmitter and Receiver
system.
3
The BoardView™ kits include two, four or eight
can be interconnected (via CAT 5 and K-NET™ cables) and each assigned
an address number
4
. Pressing an ONLINE button on any of the
TP-107AVR units that
interconnected machines transmits the signal from that machine to the
TP-122 receiver, which is also connected to the system (see Figure 1
). The
signal is then decoded on the TP-122 and converted to an XGA output and
audio outputs. If the ONLINE button is pressed simultaneously on several
machines, the machine with the highest address number transmits the signal
to the receiver (for example, address number 5 has priority over address
number 1).
If a controller (for example, the RC-108/RC-116 Presentation Controller, see
section 3.2
) is connected to the BoardView™ kit, it can be used to determine
which machine in the chain has access to the TP-122.
1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual. This implies an y RGBHV signal on a 15-pin HD computer graphics
video connector having a resolution from VGA up to and including UXGA

Overview
Figure 1: TP-107AVR/TP-122 Configuration
The TP-107AVR includes:
• A LINE IN CAT 5 connector, that connects to the LINE OUT CAT 5
connector on the previous Line Transmitter
• A LINE OUT CAT 5 connector, that connects to a receiver (for
example, the TP-122) or to the next Line Transmitter in the chain
• A pair of rotary selector switches for setting the ADDRESS (see
section 5.6
)
In addition, the TP-107AVR:
• Must be controlled via KNET
• Has a resolution of up to UXGA
• Is 12V DC fed
The TP-122:
• Can power—or be powered by—the transmitter over the same CAT 5
cable (see section 3.4
)
• Can change the polarity of decoding H and V Sync for video
• Includes EQ. and level controls
• Allows an operation range of more than 3 00ft (more than 100m) over
standard CAT 5 cable
• Is 12V DC fed
