3.1 About the TP-41 / TP-42
Using the TP-41 Component – S/PDIF Line Transmitter with the TP-42
Component – S/PDIF Line Receiver constitutes a Component – S/PDIF Line
transmitter / receiver system. The TP-42 receives the CAT 5 signal, decodes
it and simultaneously distributes it to the YUV output.
The TP-41 Component – S/PDIF Line Transmitter includes:
A YUV 1 input on three RCA connectors
A digital audio input (S/PDIF) on an RCA connector
A CAT 5 output for signal transmission to the
TP-42
Individual level controls for the Y, U, and V signals
Audio level control
The TP-42 Component – S/PDIF Line Receiver includes:
A YUV 1 output on three RCA connectors
A digital audio output (S/PDIF) on an RCA connector
A CAT 5 input for signal reception from the
TP-41
Individual level and EQ. controls for the Y, U, and V signals
Audio level and EQ. controls
Kramer twisted pair adapters are an excellent way to solve remote monitoring
requirements without using more costly coaxial cable or fiber, or wireless
transmission systems.
3.2 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
