3.1 Summarizing the DVI Line Transmitter/Receiver System
Using the PT-571HDCP DVI Line Transmitter with the PT-572HDCP+DVI
Line Receiver constitutes a DVI-to-twisted pair transmitter and receiver
system. The DVI Line Transmitter/Receiver system features:
•Maximum data rate/bandwidth up to 1.65Gbps
•HDTV compatibility and HDCP compliance
•EDID PassThru that passes EDID/HDCP signals from source to
display
•System Range1
•Power Connect™ that feeds 12V DC over the CAT 5 cable from
transmitter to receiver (see section
- Up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 30m (98ft) at
1080p on shielded BC-DGKat524 cable; 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up
to 70m (230ft) at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat623 cable; 100m
(330ft) at 1080i or up to 90m (295ft) at 1080p on shielded
BC-DGKat7a23 cable
3.2)
•Two DVI-I connectors, that are compatible with all types of DVI
cables
Note that only the digital signal (DVI D) is available on the DVI connector.
3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature
The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the
transmitter or receiver, can be connected to a power source when the
devices are within 270 feet (90 meters) of each other. The Power Connect™
feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. The distance does not
exceed 90 meters on standard CAT 5 cable, for longer distances, heavy
gauge cable should be used2
.
1 Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. The distance using non-
Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables may not reach these ranges
2 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

3.3 Using Twisted Pair Cable
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match
our digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24
AWG), the Kramer: BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the
Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built
cables significantly outperform regular CAT 5/CAT 6/CAT 7a cables.
3.4 About HDCP
The High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard1
3.5 Achieving the Best Performance
, 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.
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables2
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer devices
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

4.1 Your PT-571HDCP DVI Line Transmitter
The PT-571HDCP DVI Line Transmitter receives a DVI signal, encodes it, and
transmits it over a CAT 5 cable to the PT-572HDCP+.The PT-571HDCP has:
•A DVI input connector
•An RJ-45 CAT 5 output connector
•One power status LED

4.2 Your PT-572HDCP+ DVI Line Receiver
The PT-572HDCP+DVI Line Receiver receives an encoded signal over a
CAT 5 cable transmitted from the PT-571HDCP, decodes it, and converts
it to a DVI output.
The PT-572HDCP+has:
•A DVI output connector
•An RJ-45 CAT 5 input connector
•One power status LED

5 Connecting the PT-571HDCP and PT-572HDCP+
You can use the PT-571HDCP DVI Line Transmitter with the PT-572HDCP+
DVI Line Receiver to configure a DVI transmitter/receiver system.
To connect the PT-571HDCP to the PT-572HDCP+, as illustrated in the
example in Figure 3, do the following:
1. Connect the CAT 5 OUT RJ-45 connector on the PT-571HDCP to the
CAT 5 IN RJ-45 connector on the PT-572HDCP+via a CAT 5 cable
(see section 5.1).
2. On the PT-571HDCP, connect a DVI source (for example, a computer
graphics source) to the DVI IN connector.
3. On the PT-572HDCP+, connect the DVI OUT connector to a DVI
acceptor (for example, a display).
4. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket on the
PT-571HDCP or the PT-572 HDCP + and connect the adapter to the
mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).
