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

Overview
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 CAT 5 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 CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power suppli es
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)/Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable. There are
We
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 cre ate electrical interference.
However, since the use of UTP cable might cause inconform ity to
electromagnetic standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard
with UTP cable.
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

Connecting an Audio/Video Distribution System
5 Connecting an Audio/Video Distribution System
To configure a TP-9/TP-10 audio/video distribution system (for example,
for high quality home cinema system), as Figure 5
1. On the TP-9 connect:
A composite video source (for example, a video player) to the CV
IN BNC connector
A digital audio source (for example, the video player’s audio
signal) to the AUDIO IN S/PDIF RCA connector
The IR OUT 2, 3.5mm mini connector to the IR receiver
video player) via the IR emitter cable (see Figure 4
2. On the TP-10, connect the:
CV OUT BNC connector to a composite video acceptor (for
example, a plasma display)
AUDIO OUT S/PDIF (digital audio) RCA connector
acceptor (for example, the plasma display’s audio connector)
3. Connect the LINE OUT connector of the TP-9 to the LINE IN connector of
the TP-10, via UTP cabling (maximum range of up to 300ft (100m )).
4. On the TP-9 underside, set the VIDEO switch to CV and the AUDIO
switch to S/PDIF.
Note: Do not power the device ON when set to S/PDIF. First set the device
to Analog mode, power on and then switch to S/PDIF if nee ded.
5. On each TP-9/TP-10 unit, connect a 12V DC power adapter to the power
socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (see section 3.1
6. On the TP-10, if required, adjust the CV EQ. and level, by inserting a
screwdriver into the small hole and carefully rotating it.
