KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Defining the TP-145/TP-146
4
The
TP-145
can store and recall EDID data in non-volatile memory, allowing
convenient and reliable connection to the source.
3.3
Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•
Use only good quality connection cables
1
•
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality, and position your Kramer
TP-145/TP-146
away
from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
to avoid interference, deterioration
in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low-quality cables)

•
TP-145

TP-146
,
UXGA/Audio/Data Line Receiver
(see

4.1
Defining the TP-145 XGA/Audio/Data Line Transmitter
The
TP-145
is a high-performance transmitter that accepts:
•
A computer graphics input signal
•
An unbalanced stereo analog audio signal
•
RS-232 control commands
The
TP-145
encodes the signals and transmits them over TP cable to a
TP-146
receiver. The stereo analog audio signal is converted to a digital audio (S/PDIF)
stream before transmission, thus preserving the quality of the audio source signals.
Commands and data can flow in both directions simultaneously via the RS-232
interface, allowing status requests and control of the destination unit.
When the
TP-145
is connected to a display device and the EDID CAPTURE
button is pressed, the
TP-145
reads and stores the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) from the display device. This prevents the problem whereby a
