Overview

3 Overview

Using the TP-9 Audio/Video Line Transmitter with the TP-10 Audio/Video Line Receiver constitutes an Audio/Video Line transmitter/receiver system.

The TP-9 accepts the audio and video input signals, encodes and sends them to the CAT 5 cable. The TP-10 receives the CAT 5 signal, which includes both audio and video, decodes and distributes it to the audio and video acceptors. The IR signal from the remote control is transmitted from the TP-10, via the CAT 5 cable to the TP-9, which is connected to a video source, letting you control the video source via its remote control transmitter from a distance.

The TP-9 Audio/Video Line Transmitter includes:

• A composite video input on a BNC connector and an s-Video (Y/C)

input on a 4-pin connector

• A digital audio input (S/PDIF) and an analog stereo audio input

• IR emitter outputs for up to two machines

• A CAT 5 LINE OUT RJ-45 connector for signal transmission to the

TP-10 and IR reception

The TP-10 Audio/Video Line Receiver includes:

• A composite video output on a BNC connector and an s-Video (Y/C)

output on a 4-pin connector

• A digital audio output (S/PDIF) and an analog stereo audio output

• An IR sensor

• A CAT 5 LINE IN RJ-45 connector for signal reception from the TP-9

and IR transmission

• Level and EQ. controls for the CV and Y/C signals Kramer twisted pair adapters are an excellent way to solve remote

controlling requirements without using more costly coaxial cable or fiber, or wireless transmission systems.

To achieve the best performance:

• Connect 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)

• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer TP-9 and/or TP-10 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
