This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

3 Overview
This section describes:
•The power connect feature, see section 3.1
•Using shielded twisted pair (STP)/unshielded twisted pair (UTP), see
section 3.2
•A summary of the TP-112HD, see section 3.3
•Recommendations for achieving the best performance, see section 3.4
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 used1.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 supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)/Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable. There are
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 create electrical interference.
However, since the use of UTP cable might cause inconformity 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

3.3 About the TP-112HD
Your Kramer TOOLS TP-112HD XGA/HD Line Transmitter - DA:
•Receives a computer graphics1/HD2signal and transmits it over two
CAT 5 cables to appropriate receivers3
•Has a transmission range of more than 300 ft. (more than 100 meters)
•Includes the Power Connect feature
•Is 12V DC fed
3.4 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables4to avoid 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 product
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 and Table 1 define the TP-112HD:
1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on a 15-pin HD connector
having a resolution from VGA up to UXGA
2 The TP-112HD accepts high definition resolutions: 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
3 Note that the CAT 5 connectors exclude audio

5 Configuring a 1:2 XGA/HD-to-Twisted Pair DA System
You can use the TP-112HD XGA/HD Line Transmitter – DA with two
TP-120 XGA Line Receiver units3to configure a 1:2 XGA/HD-to-Twisted
Pair DA system. This will let you transmit a computer graphics/HD signal to
two displays via long line CAT 5 UTP cabling.
To connect the TP-112HD to two TP-120 units, as the example in Figure 5
illustrates, do the following:
1. On the TP-112HD, connect the XGA/HD source (for example, a
computer graphics/HD source) to the XGA/HD INPUT 15-pin HD
connector, and connect the line output RJ-45 connector4:
OUT 1 connector to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector on the first
TP-120
OUT 2 connector to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector on the second
TP-120
1 By default, both switches are set to the right
2 Downgoing syncs
3 Refer to the separate user manual: PT-110, PT-120, TP-120, WP-110, which can be downloaded from the Internet at:
http://www.kramerelectronics.com
4 Via UTP cabling (with a range of more than 300ft (>100m)). For details of how to wire a CAT 5 LINE IN/LINE OUT
RJ-45 connector, see section 5.1

2. On the two TP-120 units, connect the:
XGA OUT 15-pin HD connector of the first TP-120 unit to the
XGA/HD acceptor (for example, display 1)
XGA OUT 15-pin HD connector of the second TP-120 unit to the
XGA/HD acceptor (for example, display 2)
3. On each of the three Kramer TOOLS, connect the 12V DC power adapter
to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
The signal from the XGA source is transmitted via the two CAT 5 cables,
decoded and converted at the each of the XGA OUT 15-pin HD connectors
to the XGA acceptors.
4. On the TP-120 units, if necessary:
Set the H SYNC and V SYNC switches1on the underside
Adjust2the video output signal level and/or cable compensation
equalization level
5. On the TP-112HD, if necessary, set the VS and HS switches3on the
underside
1 By default, both switches are set down (for negative V SYNC and H SYNC polarity)
2 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level
3 By default, both switches are set to the right (to NORMAL) to retain the V SYNC and H SYNC polarity
