Getting Started
We recommend that you:
•
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
•
•
Review the contents of this user manual
Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables
user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware
i
upgrades are available (where appropriate).
Caution:
Warning:
No operator serviceable parts inside the unit
!
Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall
adapter that is provided with the unit
Warning:
Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the
wall before installing
2.1
Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•
Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration
in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
•
•
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer TP-133 and TP-134 away from moisture, excessive
sunlight and dust
2.2
Shielded Twisted Pair/Unshielded Twisted Pair
We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, and stress that
the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP cable.
There are different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the
best quality STP cable that you can afford. This pair of devices was designed for
use with non-skew free cable, such as the Kramer BC-DGKat623.

Overview
The TP-133 and TP-134 are a high-performance, TP (Twisted Pair) transmitter
and receiver for transmitting computer graphics video, balanced/unbalanced
stereo audio and bidirectional RS-232 data signals over extended distances using
CAT 5/6 cable. The TP-133 and TP-134 together form an extended computer
graphics/audio/data line transmission and reception system. The TP-133 converts
computer graphics video, balanced/unbalanced stereo audio and RS-232 data into
a TP signal. The TP-134 converts the TP signal back into computer graphics
video, balanced/unbalanced stereo audio and RS-232 data. More specifically, the
TP-133 and TP-134 support:
•
•
Video resolution up to WUXGA 1920 x 1200
Automatic EQ Compensation - automatically detects and compensates for
the EQ losses in the TP cable. Can also be set manually (TP-134)
•
Automatic Skew Correction - automatically detects and corrects the
differential delay in the R, G & B color components due to the TP cable. Can
also be set manually (TP-134)
•
•
Full duplex, bidirectional RS-232 transmission
Increased level of protection against noise, spikes and interference in
adverse environments
•
•
Transmission range of up to 200m (656ft)
Cable - for optimum range and performance, use Kramer's BC-DGKat524,
BC−DGKat623 and BC−DGKat7a23 cables. Note that the transmission range
depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. The distance
using non−Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6, and CAT 7 cables may not reach these ranges.
Use only shielded cable where both ends of the shield are soldered to ground
•
•
•
Control - Skew: auto or manual (R, G & B); equalization (peaking): auto or
manual
Built in Test Pattern Generator for manually setting R, G & B skew and
equalization
Compact MegaTOOLS™ - 2 units can be rack mounted side−by−side in a
1U rack space with the optional RK−T2B universal rack adapter

Transmitter
The TP-133 is a high-performance transmitter that accepts the following signals:
•
•
•
Computer graphics video
Balanced and unbalanced stereo audio
RS-232 data
The TP-133 encodes the signals and transmits them over TP cable to a TP-134
receiver. RS-232 commands and data flow bidirectionally, allowing status requests
and control of a destination unit.

Receiver
The TP-134 is a high-performance receiver that accepts the computer
graphics/audio/RS-232 data from the Kramer TP-133 via TP cabling at its RJ-45
LINE IN input. The TP-134 outputs a computer graphics signal, an unbalanced
stereo audio signal, a balanced stereo audio signal and RS 232 data signal.
In addition, the TP-134 features color skew and equalization control for the video
signal.
