2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
• Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance, high-resolu-
tion cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely in uence signal quality
• Position your TP-900UHD away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

3 OVERVIEW
The TP-900UHD comprises HDBaseT signal receiver and additional local HDMI input and can perform
CLEAN SWITCH between these two inputs. It is capable to scale the picture to match the resolution
of the monitor and can maintain stable, without intermission output HDMI signal while input signal
changes format or resolution. Besides that, it allows transmitting of RS-232, IR, Ethernet signals via
CAT6.
In particular, the TP-900UHD features:
• Resolution support for up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) UHD
• An HDBaseT input
• A local HDMI input
• An HDMI output
• A bidirectional RS-232 port for embedding/de-embedding control commands in the HDBaseT data
stream
• Infrared input and output ports for controlling devices over the HDBaseT data stream
• Audio de-embedding to the balanced stereo line out and to the S/PDIF digital out
• Maintains constant sync or optionally frozen last picture on the output, even when the input video
signal is lost or interrupted
• System range up to 130m (430ft) at normal mode (2K), up to 100m at normal mode (4K); up to 180m
(590ft) extra range mode (1080p @60Hz @24bpp) when using BC-UNIKAT cables
• A built-in ProcAmp for convenient signal adjustment
• An On-Screen Display (OSD) for easy setup and adjustment, accessible via the front-panel buttons
• A non-volatile memory that retains the last settings and can hold up to 16 user-de nable settings.
• A freeze button
The machine is fed from an external 12V DC source or optionally from HDBT POE system, making it suitable for eld operation.
You can control the TP-900UHD using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:
• A PC connected to the Ethernet port on the device via a LAN using the control software
• A PC connected to the Ethernet port of remote HDBT transmitter using the same control software
