1 Product Overview DESCRIPTION The TPT101 Twisted Pair A/V Transmitter and TPR101 Twisted Pair A/V Receiver combine to make a system for sending high-resolution VGA video signals and stereo audio signals up to 500 feet using Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The TPT101 offers an unobtrusive, low-profile design that allows installers to mount the unit in a wall, on a podium or in custom boardroom / presentation furniture using a standard 1-gang junction box.
2 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.
3 ADVANTAGES OF CAT5 CABLE Category 5 cable is a 4-pair, twisted pair cable that’s extremely affordable, costing only a fraction of high-resolution multi-conductor coaxial cables. In addition, CAT5 cable features: • Quick and Easy Termination - Utilizing RJ45 connectors, CAT5 cables offer fast, easy and extremely economical cable terminations.
4 Installation This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the TPT101 Twisted Pair Transmitter and the TPR101 Twisted Pair Receiver. Application Diagrams are provided on pages 9 - 11. Installation of the TPT101 / TPR101 System must only be carried out by qualified technicians. Note: Read the instructions carefully before initiating the installation procedure. Make sure that there is no power connected to any of the units and that the TPR101 power switch is off. 1.
5 Configuration B - Single CAT5 Link: RGBHV Video + Mono Audio with Local Power for TPT101 - (See Application Diagram B on page 10 and Control / Connector Diagrams on Pages 13 & 14) TPT101 Switches: Set the Power switch on the rear of the TPT101 to LOCAL. Set the Audio switch on the rear of the TPT101 to MONO. TPR101 Switches: Set the Link A Mode switch (located on the left rear of the TPR101) to the MONO AUDIO position.
6 It is imperative that the wired pairs in the TPT101 / TPR101 CAT5 system adhere to the wiring standards shown on page 8, otherwise the system will not function properly. The pertinent standard for INLINE’s CAT5 cable is the TIA 568B. In order for the TPT101 / TPR101 system to function properly, the CAT5 wire pairs (regardless of their color) must be maintained within both RJ45 connectors. 5.
7 11.) Optimize the image using the TPR101 Cable EQ controls and RGB skew controls. The TPR101 features high and low frequency controls (located on the front panel) that enhance image detail and sharpness by boosting high frequencies and selected mid-range frequencies. Three skew adjustments (located on the rear panel) allow users to compensate for misconvergence (improperly aligned colors), which often occurs when high-resolution video signals are carried over long UTP cable runs.
8 SUGGESTED MAXIMUM CABLE LENGTHS Several factors will affect the video signal quality you can expect using the TPT101 / TPR101 system including the input signal resolution and refresh rate, the quality of the CAT5 cable and the length of the cable run. Generally speaking, the higher the signal bandwidth, the shorter the distance it can be transmitted along any cable (coaxial or UTP) before it begins to degrade.

12 External Controls The TPR101 features several controls for optimizing image quality. The location of the front and rear panel controls is illustrated in the TPR101 Control and Connectors Diagram on page 13. For best results you should adjust the TPR101 cable equalization controls and RGB skew controls in the following order. If necessary, you may repeat steps 2 - 4 again to fine tune the image after the initial adjustment. 1.

17 Problem: The image on the TPR101 monitor(s) is blurry. Solution 1: The signal may be overdriven. Adjust the video high frequency control on the TPR101 so that the signal’s intensity matches the length of the CAT5 cable. Gently adjust the regulator until optimum sharpness and picture quality is achieved. Solution 2: Adjust the monitor’s contrast / brightness setting. Problem: The Power LED on the TPR101 is flashing. Solution 1: The CAT5 cable may be shorted / defective.
