Compatibility

INPUT

High Resolution Computer Video Signals
The TPT101 / TPR101 system is compatible with high-resolution video signals from almost any
computer that outputs an analog video signal. The unit will work with signals at virtually any
resolution and refresh rate. Compatible computer video signals include VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA,
UXGA, MAC, SUN, SGI and other high-resolution computers outputting an analog video signal.
Compatible input signal formats are RGBHV, RGBS and RGsB.

Low Resolution Video Signals
The TPT101 / TPR101 system can also be used to carry low resolution (NTSC / PAL) video
signals. The unit will accommodate the following signal combinations:

(3) Separate Composite Video Signals or
(1) Composite Video Signal and One Y/C Video Signal or
(1) Component Video Signal (R-Y / B-Y / Y or

Audio Signals
The TPT101 provides a 3.5mm stereo mini connector that will accept an unbalanced stereo audio
input signal. Depending on the TPT101 / TPR101 system configuration, the audio signal may be
sent as stereo audio or converted to mono audio.

OUTPUT

Computer Video Output
Featuring a 15-pin HD female output port, the TPR101 video output signal is compatible with
high-resolution data grade monitors and data / graphics projectors. The TPR101 outputs the
video signal in the same format as it was received at the TPT101 input, providing optimal
compatibility with a wide range of data displays.

Audio Outputs
The TPR101 provides (2) 5-pin captive screw terminals. Terminal A is for stereo or mono audio
output. The output can be wired for a balanced audio output signal only.
Terminal B is reserved (only used with TPT111 transmitter).

CAT5 CABLE LINKS

Dual RJ45 female output ports are provided on the back of the TPT101 for connection to one or
two CAT5 cables.

Dual RJ45 female input ports are provided on the back of the TPR101 for connection to one or
two CAT5 cables, depending on the desired signal and power configuration:

Note: The TPT101 / TPR101 System has been optimized for Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
cable. However, the system will work with other twisted pair cables that conform to the appropriate pin
outs and performance characteristics (see page 8). The system may be used with CAT3 cable, but video
performance will be compromised and maximum cable lengths and input signal resolution must be
decreased. As new, higher performance types of twisted pair cables are developed in the future that exceed
the capabilities of CAT5 (CAT6, CAT6e, CAT7, etc.), the TPT101 / TPR101 System offers the flexibility to
operate with these new types of UTP cables.
