KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview
3 Overview
The TP-45/TP-45RC and TP-46 are a twisted pair transmitter and receiver
for component video (YUV) or computer graphics video and unbalanced
stereo audio or S/PDIF audio signals. The TP-45/TP-45RC transmitter
converts audio and video to a twisted pair signal and the TP-46 converts the
twisted pair signal back into audio and video signals.
The TP-45 and TP-45RC have two SELECT buttons that let you choose
the video signal input (XGA
1
or component) as well as the audio input
(digital or analog signal). By selecting the required video input signal, the
TP-45 or TP-45RC with the TP-46 can constitute either a component video
B/PB, CR/PR) or an XGA video – audio transmitter / receiver system
(Y, C
• If XGA is selected, the TP-45 or TP-45RC receives an XGA signal
2
:
3
and transmits it over the twisted pair cable to the XGA output on the
TP-46 receiver
3
• If component video is selected, the component video signal
is
transmitted over the twisted pair cable to the COMP outputs on the
TP-46 receiver
• The analog audio or S/PDIF (digital audio)—as selected via the audio
SELECT button—is transmitted together with the video signal over the
twisted pair cable to the TP-46 receiver
• The TP-45RC can execute these control functions also remotely using
simple pushbuttons
The audio signal is distributed simultaneously to the analog or digital audio
outputs.
Additional TP-46 units can be connected via the TP-46 LINE OUT twisted
pair connector, to extend the range of the output signals
4
.
The TP-45 Component/XGA – Audio Transmitter features:
• Transmission range of more than 300ft (more than 100m)
• YUV
5
input on 3 RCA connectors and a computer graphics input on a
15-pin HD (F) connector
1 The term XGA used throughout this manual implies resolutions exceeding UXGA
2 The TP-45/TP-45RC and TP-46 do not convert the video signal format. Thus computer graphics sources must be routed to
computer graphics outputs. Similarly, component video sources must be routed to component video outputs
3 And audio signal
4 You can connect up to three additional TP-46 units, adding a total cable length of up to 300 meters. The video quality may
be reduced if further units are connected

Overview
• Digital audio input (S/PDIF) on an RCA connector and a stereo
analog input on a 3.5mm mini jack
• The Power Connect feature where one unit can power the other over
the same twisted pair cable (see section 3.1
)
• 12V DC power
The TP-45RC Component/UXGA – Audio Transmitter features the same
functions as the TP-45 with the addition of:
• Toggling push-button selector switches and status LEDs connected by
a remote selector input terminal block
The TP-46 Component/XGA – Audio Receiver features:
• YUV
5
output on 3 RCA connectors and a computer graphics output on
a 15-pin HD (F) connector
• Digital audio output (S/PDIF) on an RCA connector and a stereo
analog output on a 3.5mm mini jack
• The Power Connect feature where one unit can power the other over
the same twisted pair cable (see section 3.1
)
• H and V Sync polarity switches for computer graphics
• EQ. and LEVEL controls
• A twisted pair output for transmitting the signal to an additional
receiver
• 12V DC power
3.1 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 twisted pair cable. For longer distances, heavy
gauge cable should be used
1
. For units which are connected via RJ-45
connectors, make sure that the 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 twisted pair cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power
supplies should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver
simultaneously.
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

Overview
3.2 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.
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.
3.3 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
hieve the best performance:
To ac
• Use only good quality connection cables
1
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 products
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
