Overview
3 Overview
The Kramer Pico TOOLS PT-101Hxl is a high-quality repeater for HDMI
signals that connects between an HDMI source and an HDMI display. For
1080p resolution, it extends the transmission range up to 15m (50ft).
The PT-101Hxl features:
• A maximum data rate of 2.25Gbps
• HDTV compatibility
• HDMI and HDCP compliance
• Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology that rebuilds
the digital signal to travel longer distances.
To achieve the best performance:
• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
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
PT-101Hxl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
