3 Overview

Overview

The TP-305A UXGA - Audio - RS-232 Line Receiver/DA receives a CAT 5
signal from a transmitter

1

and distributes it to up to five other receivers (via

CAT 5 cables). The TP-305A also decodes the CAT 5 signal and distributes
it to a UXGA output, an analog audio output, a digital audio output and an
RS-232 output.

The TP-305A serves as a power center that can distribute power to both the
transmitter and the connected receivers (see section 3.1

).

In particular, the TP-305A features:

• Resolution of up to UXGA

• UXGA output on a 15-pin HD computer graphi cs video connector

• Digital audio output (S/PDIF) on an RCA connector and an analog

audio output on a 3.5mm mini jack

• A transmission range of up to 300ft (up to 100 meters) over STP

cabling

• Changeable polarity of the encoded H and V Sync for video (UXGA)

• EQ. and LEVEL controls for the video (UXGA) output

To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection cables

2

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-305A
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
