KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview
3 Overview
Kramer’s new “od” (Overvoltage Defense) family of twisted pair transmitters
and receivers for computer graphics video now includes electromagnetic
pulse (EMP) protection. The electro-magnetic pulse of nearby lightning
strikes can damage sensitive electronic equipment by inducing high
momentary surge voltages. Systems with outdoor runs of signal cable are
very susceptible to EMP damage. Our “od” family was especially designed to
protect twisted pair transmitter/receiver systems installed in areas of high
electrical storm activity.
Note, that the “od” family is designed for indoor installation and should
be suitably protected against direct lightning strikes. The system does not
protect against direct lightning strikes and does not offer protection against
damage caused by lightning to peripheral devices that are connected to an “od
series” transmitter/receiver set.
This user manual describes the following lightning protected transmitter
receiver sets:
• PT-110-od / TP-120-od XGA Line Transmitter / Receiver (see section 4
• TP-121-od / TP-122-od XGA / Audio Line Transmitter / Receiver (see
section 5
• TP-123-od / TP-124-od XGA / Audio / Data Line Transmitter / Receiver
(see section 6
• TP-125-od / TP-126-od XGA / Audio / Data Line Transmitter / Receiver
(see section 7
)
)
)
)
This section describes:
• Using shielded twisted pair (STP) / unshielded twisted pair (UTP), see
section 3.1
• The power connect feature, see section 3.2
• Defining EDID, see section 3.3
• Recommendations for achieving the best performance, see section 3.4
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 an issue. 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.
3
Overview
Although Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long range
applications, the UTP cable should be installed far away from electric cables, motors
and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
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. This
feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not exceed 50m
on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be
1
. For units which are connected via RJ-45 connectors, make sure that the
used
shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal casing of the connectors on both
ends of the cable. For units which are connected via terminal block connectors,
the shield of the STP cable must be connected to a ground terminal on the units at
both ends (use the ground terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).
For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies should
be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.3 Defining EDID
The PT-110-od, TP-121-od, TP-123-od, and TP-125-od include:
• EDID Capture - Copies and stores the EDID from a display device
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID
2
) 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 cables
3
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
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
The PT-110-od / TP-120-od Transmitter / Receiver Set
4 The PT-110-od / TP-120-od Transmi tter / Re ceiver Set
The Kramer Pico TOOLS PT-110-od is an XGA line transmitter that receives
an XGA signal (up to UXGA), converts it to a twisted pair signal, and
transmits it over a CAT 5 cable to the Kramer TOOLS TP-120-od receiver
which converts it back to an XGA signal. Together the PT-110-od and
TP-120-od form a computer graphics transmitter/receiver system.
The transmitter receiver system has an operating range of more than 300ft
(more than 100m) using standard CAT 5 cable, has the Power Connect
1
feature
and is 12V DC fed.
The PT-110-od is pre-programmed with default EDID settings with EDID
information ready for the source even before capturing the EDID from the
display. When the PT-110-od is connected to a display device and the EDID
CAPTURE button is pressed, the PT-110-od reads and stores the EDID
(Extended Display Identification Dat a) from the display device. The display
can be disconnected and later reconnected without rebooting the operating
system.
The TP-120-od includes EQ. and LEVEL controls.
1 Powering via the CAT 5 cable from either the receiver or the transmitter is good for 50 meters. Above it, both sides should
be fed with power

4.3 Connecting the PT-110-od / TP-120-od Transmitter / Receiver
You can use the PT-110-od XGA Line Transmitter
together with the
TP-120-od XGA Line Receiver to configure an XGA-to-Twisted Pair
Transmitter and Receiver system.
Before connecting the transmitter and receiver system you can acquire the
EDID (via PT-110-od) from the display or set the system to the default EDID,
see section 9
To connect the PT-110-od XGA Line Transmitter with the TP-120-od XGA
Line Receiver, as the example in Figure 3
illustrates, do the following:
1. On the PT-110-od, connect the XGA source (for example, the 15-pin HD
output from a computer’s graphics card) to the XGA INPUT 15-pin HD
(F) connector.
2. On the TP-120-od, connect the XGA OUT 15-pin HD (F) connector to
the XGA acceptor (for example, a display).
3. Connect the LINE OUTPUT RJ-45 connector on the PT-110-od to the
LINE IN RJ-45 connector on the TP-120-od, via CAT 5 cabling (with a
range of more than 300ft (>100m)), see section 8
4. On both
1
the PT-110-od and the TP-120-od, connect the 12V DC power
.
adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains
electricity.
The signal from the XGA source is transmitted via CAT 5 cable, decoded
and converted at the XGA OUT 15-pin HD (F) connector to the XGA
acceptor.
2
5. If required, on the TP-120-od, adjust
the output signal level and/or cable
compensation equalization level.
1 For distances of up to 100 meters you can connect a power adapter to either the PT-110-od or TP-120-od. Abo ve it, both
sides should be fed with power
2 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level
