3 Overview
The Kramer Pico TOOLS PT-101Hxl is a high-quality repeater for HDMI
signals that connects between an HDMI source and an HDMI display. For
1080p resolution, it extends the transmission range up to 15m (50ft).
The PT-101Hxl features:
•A maximum data rate of 2.25Gbps
•HDTV compatibility
•HDMI and HDCP compliance
•Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology that rebuilds
the digital signal to travel longer distances.
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
PT-101Hxl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
3.1 About HDMI
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all digital1
audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema
industry. It delivers the highest high-definition image and sound quality. Note
that Kramer Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee.
1 Ensuring an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-
to-analog conversions

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview

In particular, HDMI:
•Provides a simple1interface between any audio/video source, such as
a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such
as a digital flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single
lengthy2cable
•Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-
channel digital audio3on a single cable
•Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital
audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements
and requirements
•Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital
video quality via a single cable4, and user-friendly connector
•Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
•Supports two-way communication between the video source (such as
a DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality
such as automatic configuration and one-button play
HDMI has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats
(720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60), as well as standard definition formats such as
NTSC or PAL.
3.2 About HDCP
The High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard5, protects
digital video and audio signals transmitted over DVI or HDMI connections
between two HDCP-enabled devices to eliminate the reproduction of
copyrighted material. To protect copyright holders (such as movie studios)
from having their programs copied and shared, the HDCP standard provides
for the secure and encrypted transmission of digital signals.
1 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables
currently used in A/V systems is reduced
2 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m
3 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to
support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats
4 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a
simple, cost-effective manner
