About Kramer Electronics TP-50
The TP-50 1:2 XGA and Audio 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 looping input to (2) 15-pin HD XGA computer graphics video outputs, (2) stereo analog audio (mini-jack) and (2) S/PDIF audio (RCA) outputs. It supports resolutions up to WUXGA, offers a system range of up to 320' (100 m) and works in conjunction with Kramer's compatible (i.e. TP-121, TP-45) transmitters.
It features sync polarity settings for improved transmission and twisted pair compatibility and offers Level (Gain) and EQ (Peaking) controls. The Power Connect System requires only (1) powered unit in a connected system and to further expand your installation, additional TP-50 units will extend the range of the output signals. It's ideal for receiving computer graphics video and audio signals over shielded or unshielded twisted pair (STP/UTP) cabling such as standard CAT5 (Ethernet network cable).
The Kramer TP-50 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-3 adapter.
Kramer Electronics TP-50 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 up to WUXGA Resolution: Its video transport circuitry supports computer graphics video signals with maximum resolutions up to WUXGA. It can output up to (2) identical XGA computer graphics video outputs from the twisted pair signal input
Stereo and S/PDIF Audio: This unit will accept (1) twisted pair looping input and convert (2) unbalanced stereo audio signals on (2) 3.5mm mini-jack outputs and (2) S/PDIF audio signals on (2) RCA output connectors
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 video compatibility with the CAT5 output
Level and EQ Controls: Conveniently located on the underside of the unit are Level and EQ controls. Level trimmer control adjusts the output signal level for the XGA output while the EQ trimmer control adjusts the cable compensation (equalization) level for the same output
Large Venue Solution: The TP-50 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, (3) units can be rack mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-3T adapter
