Kramer TP-573 HDMI, RS232, & IR over Twisted Pair Transmitter
Kramer TP-573 HDMI, RS232, & IR over Twisted Pair Transmitter Kramer TP573 HDMI, RS232, & IR over Twisted Pair Transmitter is a device for converting and sending an HDMI signal (up to version 1.4) plus control commands and data over twisted pair (e.g. CAT-5) cables. Used with a Kramer TP-574 receiver (not included), the TP-573 transmitter extends the range of an HDMI source so that it can feed a display across a facility, for instance. While HDMI cables have an approximate range of 50', CAT-5 cables can carry pristine HDTV video and associated audio signals over distances in the hundreds of feet. The range of the device's transmission varies based on the signal resolution, graphics card, display, and cables used. Kramer has tested the device with their own cables. The device transmits up to 295' at 1080i, or up to 98' at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat524 cable. Using shielded BC-DGKat623 cable, the range extends to 295' at 1080i or up to 230' at 1080p.
