KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview
2
The other unit is fed over the same CAT5 cable. The Power Connect feature
applies as long as the CAT5 cable is heavy gauge cable (that is, it can carry
power). The distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard cable.
For a distance of 100 meters, separate power supplies must be connected to
the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously, unless using heavy gauge
CAT5 cable.
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 will give better results. However, the shield itself
does create a capacitance that degrades the frequency response of the
machines. For shorter distances, of 50m or so, shielded twisted pair (STP)
cable is preferred because it provides protection from interference
(degradation is non apparent).
For a long range application, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is preferred.
However, the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable should be installed far
away from electric cables, motors etc., which are prone to create electrical
interference.
3.3 About the WP-211DS
Your Kramer
WP-211DS
Wall Plate—available in 4 versions: one for
Belgium, one for Germany, one for England (and the rest of Europe), and one
for the USA— is a
high performance 2x1 automatic switcher for computer
graphics and stereo audio signals. The
WP-211DS
detects the presence of the
active XGA-type input signal from either IN 1 (the default) or IN 2, and
automatically routes it to the acceptor connected to the rear panel XGA OUT
and the AUDIO OUT connectors. In addition, the
WP-211DS
:
With its video bandwidth exceeding 260MHz, ensures transparent
operation at the highest resolutions
Automatically switches the stereo audio signal with the video signal
(audio-follow-video) when switching the active input to the output
Includes a DEFAULT SELECT switch for selecting the computer
graphics master (default) source signal
Includes a looping XGA input
Comes with contact closure remote control for forced operation
Includes a CAT5 output (for video) via an 8 PIN terminal block connector
Is powered by a standard 12 Volt DC feed
