Overview
3 Overview
This section describes:
A summary of the TP-41 / TP-42, see section 3.1
Using shielded twisted pair (STP) / unshielded twisted pair (UTP), see
section 3.2
Recommendations for achieving the best performance, see section 3.3
3.1 About the TP-41 / TP-42
Using the TP-41 Component – S/PDIF Line Transmitter with the TP-42
Component – S/PDIF Line Receiver constitutes a Component – S/PDIF Line
transmitter / receiver system. The TP-42 receives the CAT 5 signal, decodes
it and simultaneously distributes it to the YUV output.
The TP-41 Component – S/PDIF Line Transmitter includes:
A YUV1 input on three RCA connectors
A digital audio input (S/PDIF) on an RCA connector
A CAT 5 output for signal transmission to the TP-42
Individual level controls for the Y, U, and V signals
Audio level control
The TP-42 Component – S/PDIF Line Receiver includes:
A YUV1 output on three RCA connectors
A digital audio output (S/PDIF) on an RCA connector
A CAT 5 input for signal reception from the TP-41
Individual level and EQ. controls for the Y, U, and V signals
Audio level and EQ. controls
Kramer twisted pair adapters are an excellent way to solve remote monitoring
requirements without using more costly coaxial cable or fiber, or wireless
transmission systems.
3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
The decision whether to use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable or unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable depends on the nature of the application.
It is recommended that in applications with high interference, shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable is used. However, the shield itself does create a
capacitance that degrades the frequency response of the machines. For shorter
1 Also known as Y, B-Y, R-Y, or Y, Pb, Pr
3
Your Component – S/PDIF Line Transmitter and Line Receiver
distances, of 50m or so, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable is preferred because
it provides protection from interference (degradation is not apparent).
For long range applications, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is preferred.
However, the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable should be installed far away from
electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
In general, it is recommended to use shielded twisted pair (STP) skew-free
Kramer cable BC-SXTP for transmitting VGA signals, and shielded twisted
pair (STP) non-skew-free Kramer BC-STP cable for digital signals.
3.3 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
Achieving the best performance means:
Connecting 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)
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and positioning your TP-41 and/or
TP-42 in a location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight
and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit1.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
