3 Overview
The TP-210A UXGA – Audio – RS-232 Line Transmitter/DA receives a
computer graphics signal, an audio signal
1
and an RS-232 signal, and
distributes them to up to 10 receivers (via CAT 5 cables). The TP-210A
also simultaneously distributes the signal to two UXGA outputs, two analog
audio outputs or two digital audio outputs, and two RS-232 outputs.
The TP-210A serves as a power center that can distribute power to the
connected receivers (see section
3.1 ).
In particular, the TP-210A features:
• A resolution of up to UXGA
• One UXGA input and two outputs on 15-pin HD computer graphics
video connectors
• One digital audio input and two outputs (S/PDIF) on RCA connectors
as well as one analog audio input and two outputs on 3.5mm mini jacks
• A transmission range of up to 300ft (up to 100 meters) over STP
cabling
• Changeable polarity for decoding H and V Sync for video (UXGA)
The TP-210A is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears”
included, and is fed from a 100-240V AC universal switching power supply.
3.1 About the Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power.
This feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not
exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge
cable should be used
2
. For units which are connected via RJ-45 connectors,
make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal casing
of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units which are connected
via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be
connected to a ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground
terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).
For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
1 Selectable analog or digital (S/PDIF) audio signal
2 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
