1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professionals on a daily basis.
2 Getting Started We recommend that you: • Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment 2.
3 Overview The PT-571 is a DGKat™ twisted pair transmitter for HDMI signals. The PT-571 converts an HDMI signal to a single twisted pair signal and the PT-572+ converts the twisted pair signal back to an HDMI signal. The HDMI Line Transmitter/Receiver system features: • Maximum data rate/bandwidth up to 1.65Gbps • HDTV compatibility and HDCP compliance • HDMI Support – HDMI (V.1.4 with Deep Color, x.v.
3.1 Using Twisted Pair Cable Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24 AWG), the Kramer: BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built cables significantly outperform regular CAT 5/CAT 6/CAT 7a cables. 3.
In particular, HDMI: • Provides a simple interface between any audio/video source, such as a settop box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a digital flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy cable SIMPLICITY - With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables currently used in A/V systems is reduced LENGTHY CABLE - HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15
4 Defining the PT-571 HDMI Line Transmitter The Kramer PicoTOOLS PT-571 HDMI Line Transmitter receives an HDMI signal, encodes it, and transmits it over a CAT 5 cable to the PT-572+.
5 Defining the PT-572+ HDMI Line Receiver The Kramer Pico TOOLS PT-572+ HDMI Line Receiver receives an encoded signal over a CAT 5 cable transmitted from the PT-571, decodes it, and converts it to an HDMI output.
6 Connecting the PT-571 and PT-572+ Transmitter Receiver Pair ! Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your PT-571/PT-572+. After connecting your PT-571/PT-572+, connect the power and then switch on the power to each device. You can use the PT-571 HDMI Line Transmitter with the PT-572+ HDMI Line Receiver to configure an HDMI transmitter/receiver system.
3. On the PT-572+, connect the HDMI OUT connector to an HDMI acceptor (for example, a plasma display). 4. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket on the PT-571 and/or the PT-572+ and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3). Note: When connecting the PT-572+ to the VP-81SID do not connect the 12V power supply to the PT-572+. 6.
