Introduction
1 Introduction
Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been
providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast
range of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and
broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have
redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our
1,000-plus different models now appear in 11 groups1 that are clearly
defined by function.
Thank you for purchasing your Kramer TOOLS TP-43 Component –
S/PDIF Transceiver, which is designed to be used with the TP-41
Component – S/PDIF transmitter and the TP-42 Component – S/PDIF
receiver. The TP-43uses existing UTP cabling that results in an efficient, fast
and uncluttered environment for:
High-quality home cinema at multiple outputs
Studios, airports, offices and hospitals
Security and military applications
Each package includes the following items:

Overview
3 Overview
The TP-43 Component – S/PDIF Transceiver receives a twisted pair CAT 5
signal, decodes it and simultaneously distributes it to the YUV and S/PDIF
outputs, as well as relaying the input to the next receiver (transceiver
operation). In particular, the TP-43 Component – S/PDIF Transceiver
features:
A YUV1 output on 3 RCA connectors
A digital audio output (S/PDIF) on an RCA connector
A CAT 5 input and output on RJ-45 connectors
Individual level and EQ. controls for the Y, U, and V signals, as
well as audio level and EQ. controls
The TP-43Component – S/PDIF Transceiver is designed to be used with
the TP-41 and the TP-42. When using three TP-43 units between the
TP-41 / TP-42 pair, the maximum range of the system via UTP cabling can
be extended to up to 1200ft (400m).
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.
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables2 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-43 away from moisture, 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 unit3.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

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 STP skew-free cable, Kramer
BC-SXTP, is intended for transmitting VGA signals. Our non-skew-free
cable, Kramer BC-STP, is intended for digital signals.
The compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP
cables, therefore we recommend using those cables.
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.
