3 Overview
This user manual describes the following:
• TP-121EDID XGA / Audio Line Tra nsmitter (see section
• TP-123EDID XGA / Audio / Data Lin e Tra nsmitter (see section
• TP-125EDID XGA / Audio / Data Line Transmitter (see section
• PT-110EDID XGA Line Transmitter (see section
7)
This section describes:
• Using shielded twisted pair ( ST P) / unshielded twisted pair (UTP), see
section
• The power connect feature, see section
• Defining EDID, see sec tion
3.1
3.2
3.3
• Recommendations for achieving the best performance, see section
3.1 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
We recommend that you use shielded twisted pair (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-STP is intended for analog signals where skewing is not a n i s sue. For
cases where there is skewing, our UTP skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP,
may be used. Bear in mind, though, that we advise using STP cables where
possible, since the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested
using those cables.
4)
5)
6)
3.4
Although unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long
range applications, the UTP cable should be installed far away from electric
cables, m oto rs and s o on, wh ich a re pr one to cre ate el ectr ic al in t erf eren ce .
However, since the use of UTP cable might cause inconformity to electromagnetic
standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.
3.2 About the Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. The
distance does not exceed 50m on stan dard CAT 5 cable, for longer distances,
heavy gauge cable should be used
1
.
For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

3.3 Defining EDID
The TP-121EDID, TP-123EDID, TP-125EDID, and PT-110EDID include:
• EDID Capture - Copies and stores the EDID from a display device
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID1) 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 graphic source to
“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.
3.4 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
• Use only good quality connection cables2 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 transmitters
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
4 Your TP-121EDID XGA / Audio Line Transmitter
The TP-121EDID is an XGA / audio stereo line transmitter. It receives an
XGA signal and an unbalanced stereo analog audio signal and transmits them
over CAT 5 cable to a receiver3, converting the unbalanced stereo analog
audio signal to digital audio (S/PDIF) stream before transmitting, thus
preserving the quality of the audio signal.
When the TP-121EDID is connected to a display device and the EDID
CAPTURE button is pressed, the TP-121EDID reads and stores the EDID
(Extended Display Identification Data) from the display device. The display can
be disconnected and later reconnected without rebooting the operating system.

In particular, the TP-121EDID:
• Has a transmission range of more than 300ft (more than 100m), and a
20kHz audio bandwidth with an S/N ratio that exceeds 80dB on the same
transmission range
• Can power or be powered by the receiver over the same CAT 5 cable
• Is 12V DC fed

You can use the TP-121EDID together with the TP-122 XGA / Audio Line
Receiver
1
to configure an XGA/Audio Line-to-Twisted Pair Transmitter and
Receiver system.
Before connecting the transmitt er and receiver system you can acquire the
EDID from the display or set the system to the default EDID, see section
9.
To connect the TP-121EDID XGA / Audio Line Transmitter with the TP-122
XGA / Audio Line Receiver, as the example in
Figure 2 illust r a te s, do the
following:
1. On the TP-121EDID, connect the XGA source (for example, a laptop’s
graphics card) to the XGA INPUT 15-pin HD (F) connector and an audio
source to the AUDIO IN 3.5mm mini jack, for example, using a Kramer
C-GMA/GMA cable (VGA 15-pin HD (M) +Audio jack to VGA 15-pin HD
(M) +Audio jack)
