3.1 About the Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature lets you power a transmitter / receiver system by
connecting just one power adapter to either the transmitter or the receiver.
The other unit is fed over the same cable. The Power Connect feature applies
as long as the cable is heavy gauge cable (that is, it can carry power). The
distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard CAT5 cable.
For a distance of 100 meters, separate power supplies must be connected to
the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously, unless using heavy gauge
cable.
3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
The decision whether to use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable or unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable depends on the nature of the application.
It is recommended that in applications with high interference, shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable is used. However, the shield itself does create a
capacitance that degrades the frequency response of the machines. For shorter
distances, of 50m or so, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable is preferred because
it provides protection from interference (degradation is non apparent).
For a long range application, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is preferred.
However, the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable should be installed far away
from electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical
interference.
3.3 About the TP-112HD
Your Kramer TOOLS TP-112HD XGA / HD Line Transmitter - DA:
 Receives a computer graphics
1
/ HD
2
signal and transmits it over two
CAT5 cables to appropriate receivers
3
 Has a video bandwidth of 150MHz, with a transmission range of more
than 300 ft. (more than 100 meters)
 Includes the Power Connect feature
 Is 12VDC fed
1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on an HD15 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 CAT5 connectors exclude audio

3.4 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
Achieving the best performance means:
 Connecting 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)
 Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality, and positioning your TP-112HD away
from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

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 units
1
to 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 CAT5 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 HD15F connector, and
connect the line output RJ-45 connector
2
:
 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
2. On the two TP-120 units, connect the:
 XGA OUT HD15F connector of the first TP-120 unit to the XGA / HD
acceptor (for example, Display 1)
 XGA OUT HD15F 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 CAT5 cables,
decoded and converted at the each of the XGA OUT HD15F connectors
to the XGA acceptors.
4. On the TP-120 units, if necessary:
 Set the H SYNC and V SYNC switches
3
on the underside
 Adjust
4
the video output signal level and/or cable compensation
equalization level
5. On the TP-112HD, if necessary, set the VS and HS switches
5
on the
underside

2 Via UTP cabling (with a range of more than 300ft (>100m)). For details of how to wire a CAT5 LINE IN / LINE OUT
RJ-45 connector, see section 5.1
3 By default, both switches are set down (for negative V SYNC and H SYNC polarity)
4 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level
5 By default, both switches are set to the right (to NORMAL) to retain the V SYNC and H SYNC polarity
