3 Overview
Using the TP-953 DVI/Audio Line Transmitter with the TP-954 DVI/Audio
Line Receiver constitutes a DVI/audio line transmitter/receiver system. The
TP-953 accepts analog, S/PDIF, and optical audio and DVI video input
signals, encodes and sends them over two CAT 5 cables. The TP-954
receives the CAT 5 signal, which includes both audio and vide o, decodes
and distributes it to the audio and video acceptors.
The TP-953 DVI/Audio Line Transmitter includes:
• A DVI input
• Three audio inputs: analog stereo, S/PDIF digital stereo, and optical
• Two CAT 5 LINE OUT RJ-45 connectors for signal transmission
to the TP-954
• Indicator LEDS for IN, OUT and power ON
The TP-954 DVI/Audio Line Receiver includes:
• Two CAT 5 LINE IN RJ-45 connectors for receiving signals from
the TP-953
• A DVI output
• Three audio outputs: analog stereo, S/PDIF digital stereo, and optical
• Indicator LEDS for IN, OUT and power ON
• An equalization select button
In addition, the TP-953/ TP-954 system features:
• System Range
1
—Up to 60m (197ft) at XGA, or up to 30m (98ft) at
WUXGA on shielded BC-DGKat524 cable; 60m (197ft) at SXGA
on shielded BC-DGKat623 cable; 60m (197ft) at SXGA on
shielded BC-DGKat7a23 cable
• Cables—For optimum range and performance, use Kramer's
BC-DGKat524, BC-DGKat623 and BC-DGKat7a23
• Resolution up to WUXGA (reduced blanking)
• HDCP compliance
1 Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. The distance u sing nonKramer CAT 5, CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables may not reach these ranges

To achieve the best performance:
• Use only good quality connection cables
1
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
TP-953, TP-954 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
3.1 Using Twisted Pair Cable
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match
our digital twisted pair products; the Kramer BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5
24 AWG), the Kramer BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the
Kramer BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built
cables significantly outperform regular CAT 5/CAT 6/CAT 7a cables.

5 Connecting a DVI/Audio Transmitter/Receiver System
To connect a TP-953/TP-954 DVI/audio transmitter/receiver system (for
example, a high-quality home cinema system), as Figure 3
illustrates, do the
following:
1. On the TP-953 connect:
A DVI video source
1
to the DVI IN connector and an audio
source (for example, a computer graphics source)
The two CAT 5 cables to OUT A and OUT B on RJ-45
connectors
1
2. On the TP-954 connect:
The OUT A CAT 5 cable from the TP-953 to the IN A RJ-45
connector on the TP-954
1
The OUT B CAT 5 cable from the TP-953 to the IN B RJ-45
connector on the TP-954
1
A DVI video acceptor
1
(for example, a projector) to the DVI
OUT connector
An audio acceptor (for example, an AV receiver)
3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and c onnect the
adapter to the mains electricity of either the TP-953 or the TP-954
2
.
4. Adjust the equalization level (see Section
5.1).
1 Do not connect an analog signal
2 If one of the devices does not power on, connect a power supply to both units
