2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection 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
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer PT-1Ci away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust

PT-1Ci - Overview
3 Overview
The PT−1Ci is a security tool for data−sensitive HDMI installations (military,
banking, and such). It is an EDID buffer and storage device for HDMI signals that
prevents reverse communication of the DDC signal. The device blocks HDCP and
prevents EDID pass−through. The PT−1Ci lets you read and capture an EDID
securely and present it to sources for compatibility with the display. The device
has no effect on the audio and video streams and supports 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) UHD
video.
The PT-1Ci features:
A maximum data rate of 17.82Gbps (5.94Gbps per data channel)
Resolution support of up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) UHD
HDCP isolation (HDCP not supported)
Compliance with HDMI standards
HDMI input and output connectors
No need for an external power supply as power is supplied by the HDMI
source
A power LED that indicates when the device is powered on
An EDID capture button and LED indicator
An ultra-compact PicoTools case that allows four units to be mounted side-
by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-4PT 19” rack adapter

Figure 3: Connecting the PT-1Ci HDMI Isolator
To connect the PT-1Ci as shown in Figure 3:
1. Connect the HDMI OUT connector to an HDMI acceptor (for example, a
display or projector).
2. Connect the HDMI source (for example, a computer) to the HDMI IN
connector.
5.1 Capturing the EDID
To capture the EDID from the acceptor:
With the source and acceptor both connected, press the EDID button.
The EDID button flashes red slowly for a few seconds then lights solid and
the EDID is stored

Note: EDID capture only needs to be performed once. The EDID is stored in no-
volatile memory, and capturing of the EDID is only necessary if a new display is
connected.
