3.1 About the TP-202 UXGA Line Receiver / DA
The Kramer TOOLS TP-202 receives a computer graphics
1
signal which is
transmitted via CAT5 cabling, and distributes it to two XGA outputs
simultaneously.
The TP-202 UXGA Line Transceiver / DA:
Has a transmission range of more than 150 ft. (more than 50 meters)
Can receive HD signals (high definition resolutions: 480p, 576p, 720p,
1080i and 1080p)
Includes two XGA outputs on HD15F connectors
Includes EQ. and LEVEL controls
Can change the polarity of decoding H and V Sync for UXGA graphics
Is 12VDC fed and can power or be powered by the receiver over the
same CAT5 cable (see section 3.2)
Features a CAT5 output for transmitting the signal to an additional
receiver
3.2 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 via the cable connecting between the transmitter/receiver.
The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. The
distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard CAT5 cable, for longer
distances, heavy gauge cable should be used
2
.
For a CAT5 cable exceeding a distance of 50 meters, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
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 CAT5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

3.3 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 not apparent).
For long range applications, 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.
3.4 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
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 and position
your TP-202 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit
1
.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

5 Connecting the TP-202
You can use the TP-202 UXGA Line Transceiver / DA to configure a UXGA
DA system. This will let you transmit a computer graphics signal to two
displays via long line CAT5 UTP cabling
1
.
To connect the TP-202, as the example in Figure 3 illustrates, do the following:
1. Connect a transmitter (for example, the Kramer PT-110 XGA Line
Transmitter
2
) to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector via CAT5 cabling, see
section 5.1.
2. Set the VS and HS switches on the underside of the unit to NORMAL.
3. Connect the XGA OUT 1 HD15F connector to an XGA acceptor (for
example, Display 1).
4. Connect the XGA OUT 2 HD15F connector to an XGA acceptor (for
example, Display 2).
5. Check the image on the display. If it is not stable, set the VS and HS switches
to INVERT to obtain a stable image.
6. If required, connect the LINE OUT RJ-45 connector on the TP-202 to an
additional
3
TP-202.
7. If required, adjust
4
the video output signal level and/or cable compensation
equalization level.
8. If necessary, set the HS and VS switches on the TP-202 underside
5
.
9. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).
The signal from the UXGA source is transmitted via CAT5 cable to the
TP-202, decoded and converted at the XGA OUT 1 and XGA OUT 2 HD15F
connectors to the UXGA acceptors simultaneously.
1 By using two TP-202 units, you can transmit the signal to an additional TP-202
2 You can also connect an HD transmitter, such as the Kramer TP-219HD
3 Up to 10 units may be connected with minimal signal deterioration as long as the combined length between the first and the
last units does not exceed 100 meters
4 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level
5 By default, both switches are set to normal (see Figure 2 and Table 2)
