3.1 About the WP-27 / WP-28
The Kramer
WP-27
and the
WP-28
constitute a twisted pair transmitter and
receiver system for component/composite
1
or Y/C video, as well as stereo
analog / S/PDIF audio signals. Each unit can power or be powered by the other
unit over the same CAT5 cable.
The
WP-27
transmitter converts the selected
2
video and audio signals into a
twisted pair signal and the
WP-28
receiver decodes that signal back to its initial
stage. The
WP-27
accepts either a component video, composite video or s-
Video source. The selected video source, as well as the selected audio source
3
is
transmitted to the
WP-28
, which outputs that source accordingly
4
.
If CV-Y/C is selected, the
WP-27
accepts a CV
5
or Y/C
6
signal
7
and
transmits it over the CAT5 cable to the CV or Y/C output on the
WP-28
receiver
If component video is selected
8
, the component video signal
7
is transmitted
over the CAT5 cable to the COMP output on the
WP-28
receiver
If the ANALOG stereo audio source is selected via the AUDIO button, the
WP-27
converts it to a digital 48kHz 24 bit signal which is transmitted,
together with the video signal, over the CAT5 cable to the
WP-28
receiver
If S/PDIF (digital audio) is selected via the AUDIO button, it is transmitted
together with the video signal over the CAT5 cable to the
WP-28
receiver
1 Either s-Video or composite video (both inputs cannot be connected simultaneously)
2 Via two INPUT select buttons letting you choose the video signal input and the audio signal input
3 The audio signal is outputted to both outputs simultaneously
4 The WP-27 and WP-28 do not perform any video signal format conversion. A composite video source would need to be
routed to a composite video output or an s-Video source would need to be routed to an s-Video output. Similarly, a
component video source would need to be routed to a component video output
5 By connecting only a CV input and releasing the Y/C-CV COMP VIDEO INPUT button
6 By connecting only a Y/C input and releasing the Y/C-CV COMP VIDEO INPUT button
7 And audio signal
8 By pressing the Y/C-CV COMP VIDEO INPUT button
