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-43 Component – 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.
