2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp
to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if
firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer PT-101HDCP away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

PT-101HDCP - Overview
3 Overview
The PT−101HDCP is a line driver/repeater for DVI−D video signals that extends
the standard transmission range of standard DVI distances from 5m to up to 10m
(16.4ft to up to 32.8ft). The unit reclocks and equalizes the signal enabling multiple
units to be cascaded. It supports the DDWG DVI 1.0 standard and has two DVI-I
connectors, that are compatible with all types of DVI cables.
The PT-101HDCP can be powered by an external power supply, or directly—from
DVI connectors on Kramer Scalers, as well as from some desktop DVI cards—
without requiring an external power supply
Note that only the digital signal (DVI-D) is available on the DVI connector.
More specifically the PT-101HDCP features:
A maximum data rate of 6.75Gbps (2.25Gbps per graphic channel)
HDTV compatibility
HDCP compliance
HDMI support for HDMI Compressed Audio Channels
Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology that rebuilds the digital
signal to travel longer distances
Power via AC adapter or by DVI signal
Double the DVI range (resolution dependent) from approximately 16ft (4.9m)
to approximately 32ft (9.8m)
Ultra-Compact Pico TOOLS™ where four units can be rack mounted
side−by−side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK−4PT rack adapter
