About Kramer Electronics TP-305A
The TP-305A 1:5 UXGA, Audio and Line Receiver and Distribution Amplifier from Kramer Electronics is designed and built with both professional video facility installation pundits and presentation/multimedia enthusiasts in mind, this unit offers twisted pair (RJ-45) signal conversion from (1) twisted pair input to (5) identical twisted pair outputs, (1) 15-pin HD UXGA computer graphics video output, (1) stereo analog audio (mini-jack) and (1) S/PDIF audio (RCA) output. Additionally, it features unidirectional RS-232 control signals on the 2-pin terminal block.
The TP-305A is compatible with HDTV signals, supports resolutions up to WUXGA and 1080p, offers a system range of up to 320' (100 m) and works in conjunction with Kramer's compatible (i.e. TP-123, TP-124) transmitters and receivers. It's ideal for sending computer graphics video and audio signals over shielded or unshielded twisted pair (STP/UTP) cabling such as standard CAT5 (Ethernet network cable). It features sync polarity settings for improved transmission and twisted pair compatibility and offers front-panel Level (Gain) and EQ (Peaking) controls. Moreover, its Power Connect System requires only (1) powered unit in a connected system.
The Kramer TP-305A is an ideal solution for long distance computer graphics cable transmission and distribution often required by broadcast studios, educational, security and military installations. In addition, it offers a low-profile design of only 1U that can be mounted in a standard 19" equipment rack with the optional RK-1 adapter.
Kramer Electronics TP-305A Features
Twisted Pair (RJ-45) Signal Transmission: Twisted pair (RJ-45) cabling uses 2 conductors (forward and return) that are twisted together in a specific fashion (pitch/twist rate per meter) to cancel out electromagnetic interference and crosstalk (noise) from external sources and its environment
Supports WUXGA and HDTV Signals: Its video transport circuitry supports computer graphics video signals with maximum resolutions up to WUXGA and HDTV/1080p
Stereo and S/PDIF Audio: This unit will accept (1) twisted pair input and convert (1) unbalanced stereo audio signal on the 3.5mm mini-jack output and (1) S/PDIF audio signal on the RCA output connector and simultaneously output the same audio signals to (5) identical twisted pair outputs
RS-232 Control: If an RS-232 control signal is detected in the twisted pair input, this unit will convert the signal and output it on a 2-pin T-block terminal
Power Connect System: Within a transmitter/receiver system, only one unit requires power when connected devices are within a 150' (50 m) range of each other; 12VDC power is then distributed through the CAT5 cable
Sync Polarity Settings: Horizontal and vertical sync polarity switches are provided for improved HDTV compatibility with each CAT5 output
Level and EQ Controls: Conveniently located on the front-panel of the unit are Level and EQ controls. Level trimmer control adjusts the output signal level for the UXGA output while the EQ trimmer control adjusts the cable compensation (equalization) level for the same output
Large Venue Solution: The TP-305A is an ideal solution for schools, transportation hubs, hospitals, financial institutions, commercial/retail installations, virtually any large venue that requires high-quality, long distance twisted pair video distribution
Rackmountable: Aside from its rugged chassis, (2) units can be rack mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-1 adapter
