3 Overview
The TP-45/TP-45RC and TP-46 are a twisted pair transmitter and receiver
for component video (YUV) or computer graphics video and unbalanced
stereo audio or S/PDIF audio signals. The TP-45/TP-45RC transmitter
converts audio and video to a twisted pair signal and the TP-46 converts the
twisted pair signal back into audio and video signals.
The TP-45 and TP-45RC have two SELECT buttons that let you choose
the video signal input (XGA
1 or component) as well as the audio input
(digital or analog signal). By selecting the required video input signal, the
TP-45 or TP-45RC with the TP-46 can constitute either a component video
(Y, C

) or an XGA video – audio transmitter / receiver system 2 :
• If XGA is selected, the TP-45 or TP-45RC receives an XGA signal 3
and transmits it over the twisted pair cable to the XGA output on the
TP-46 receiver
• If component video is selected, the component video signal 3 is
transmitted over the twisted pair cable to the COMP outputs on the
TP-46 receiver
• The analog audio or S/PDIF (digital audio)—as selected via the audio
SELECT button—is transmitted together with the video signal over the
twisted pair cable to the TP-46 receiver
• The TP-45RC can execute these control functions also remotely using
simple pushbuttons
The audio signal is distributed simultaneously to the analog or digital audio
outputs.
Additional TP-46 units can be connected via the TP-46 LINE OUT twisted
pair connector, to extend the range of the output signals

The TP-45 Component/XGA – Audio Transmitter features:
• Transmission range of more than 300ft (more than 100m)
• YUV
5 input on 3 RCA connectors and a computer graphics input on a
15-pin HD (F) connector
1 The term XGA used throughout this manual implies resolutions exceeding UXGA
2 The TP-45/TP-45RC and TP-46 do not convert the video signal format. Thus computer graphics sources must be routed to
computer graphics outputs. Similarly, component video sources must be routed to component video outputs

4 You can connect up to three additional TP-46 units, adding a total cable length of up to 300 meters. The video quality may
be reduced if further units are connected
