1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professionals on a daily basis.
2 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 • Use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine i 2.1 Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
3 Overview The TP-410 UXGA-Audio-RS-232 Line Transmitter / DA is a high performance, 10-channel VGA/UXGA, audio and data to CAT 5 transmitter for high resolution video, unbalanced stereo audio (or S/PDIF digital audio) and full-duplex RS-232 signals. The CAT 5 input can also be connected to any Kramer compatible TP transmitter (for example, the TP-125EDID) and the CAT 5 outputs can be connected to any Kramer compatible TP receiver (for example, the TP-126).
In addition, the TP-410: • Can automatically differentiate between RS-232/RS-485 commands that control the unit itself and commands that are destined for end-user equipment (see Section 6) • Is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears” included, and is fed from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply. 3.

4 Installing in a Rack This section provides instructions for rack mounting the unit.
5 Connecting the TP-410 This section describes how to connect: 5.1 • The TP-410 (see Section 5.1) • Several TP-410 units (see Section 5.5) • To the TP-410 via RS-232 (see Section 5.2) • To the TP-410 via RS-485 (see Section 5.3) • To the TP-410 via the Ethernet (see Section 5.4) Connecting the TP-410 i Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your TP-410. After connecting your TP-410, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.
6. Connect the 10 TP OUTPUT STP/UTP connectors to up to 10 TP receivers (for example, the TP-126 or additional TP-410 units). 7. If required, you can connect a PC and/or controller to the: RS-232 terminal block (see Section 5.2) RS-485 terminal block (see Section 5.3 and Section 6) Ethernet connector (see Section 5.4) 8. Set the DIP-switches (see Section 7) 9. Connect the power cord (not shown in Figure 3).
5.2 Connecting to the TP-410 via an RS-232 Connection You can operate the destination devices (for example, displays) or the TP-410 via the RS-232 port from a distance of up to 25m (82ft) using a PC or other controller with an RS-232 port. To connect the RS-232 port on the TP-410 to an RS-232 device: 1. Connect the RS-232 Tx pin on the TP-410 to pin 2 (9-pin D-sub) on the RS-232 device. 2. Connect the RS-232 Rx pin on the TP-410 to pin 3 (9-pin D-sub) on the RS-232 device. 3.
If required, connect the GND pin on the RS-485 port of the PC to the G (ground) pin on the rear panel of the TP-410 For RS-485 communication, the ground is usually not connected between the devices. When using a shielded cable, the shield may be grounded on one side 2. If this is the only TP-410 on the RS-485 bus, set the RS-485 termination DIP-switch (see Section 7.3) to ON (for RS-485 line termination with 120Ω).
Figure 5: Local Area Connection Properties Window 6. Select Use the following IP Address, and fill in the details as shown in Figure 6. 7. Click OK. Figure 6: Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties Window 5.4.2 Connecting the ETHERNET Port via a Network Hub (Straight-Through Cable) You can connect the Ethernet port of the TP-410 to the Ethernet port on a network hub or network router, via a straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors. 5.4.
Use your PC initially to configure the Ethernet settings using K-UPLOAD software. When configuration is complete, set the DIP-switches to their previous position and then turn the power Off and On again. i 5.5 The latest version of K-UPLOAD and installation instructions can be downloaded from the Kramer Web site at www.kramerelectronics.com Connecting Several TP-410 Units You can daisy chain up to 15 TP-410 machines, as illustrated in Figure 7.
6 Configuration and Distribution of Control Data The TP-410 distributes VGA, audio and control data signals: • The VGA and audio signals always operate as a 1:10 distributor: the input signal is distributed to all 10 outputs • By default, the control data is distributed to all 10 outputs and the reply is received from output 1 Using the TP-410 you can configure and distribute control data via the TP-410, in the local or remote mode.
Figure 8: Local Control via RS-232 6.1.2 Connecting a PC via the Ethernet In this example, a computer graphics source is connected via a transmitter to the TP IN RJ-45 connector. Outputs 1, 4 and 5 are connected to TP-126 units. The system is controlled by a laptop via the Ethernet. The machines in this configuration are identified by their address number and output location, as illustrated in Figure 9.
6.1.3 The Remote Mode In the remote mode, the PC is connected to the RS-232 port on the transmitter (for example, TP-125EDID). In this example, the PC controls machine # 1 and all its outputs, as well as machine # 2 and its outputs. Figure 10: RS-232 Remote Control 6.1.4 Connecting Multiple TP-410 Units via the RS-485 Bus You can connect up to 15 TP-410 units via the RS-485 bus with control from a PC or serial controller. To connect up to 15 TP-410 units via RS-485 (see Figure 11): 1.

7 The SETUP DIP-switches The DIP-switches on the TP-410 set the machine number of the unit. i 7.1 Moving a DIP-switch down turns the switch on, moving it up turns the switch off. Changing any DIP-switch requires that you turn the TP-410 power off and then on again. Setting the Machine Number To control a unit remotely via RS-232, RS-485 or the Ethernet, each unit has to be identified via its unique machine #. DIP-switches 1, 2, 3 and 4 set the machine number (according to the table below).
7.1.1 ETH Configuration To configure the Ethernet parameters, set DIP-switches 1 to 4 to ON (ON-ON-ONON), turn the power off and then turn the power on again. Use the Kramer K-UPLOAD software to configure the Ethernet. i 7.2 The latest version of K-UPLOAD and installation instructions can be downloaded from the Kramer Web site at www.kramerelectronics.com Setting the RS-232/RS-485 Baud Rate DIP-switches DIP-switches 5, 6 and 7 set the serial port baud rate.
7.3 Setting the RS-485 Bus Termination The DIP-switch sets the RS-485 bus termination. Only the first and last physical devices on the RS-485 bus must be terminated (set to ON), all other devices must be set to OFF.
8 Wiring the CAT 5 LINE IN / LINE OUT RJ-45 Connectors This section defines the CAT 5 pinout, using a straight pin-to-pin cable with RJ-45 connectors. i Note, that the cable Ground shielding must be connected / soldered to the connector shield.
9 Acquiring the EDID The TP-410 can acquire the EDID information from a display connected to the UXGA IN 15-pin HD connector on the TP-410, or acquire the default EDID. To acquire the display EDID, do the following: 1. Connect the UXGA IN 15-pin HD connector to the input XGA connector of the display, using a short cable. The EDID is carried over pins 12 and 15 of the VGA connector. It is essential that the cable used for capturing the EDID passes all 15 pins 2. Connect the display power. 3.
10 Flash Memory Upgrade You can upgrade the TP-410 via the Kramer K-UPLOAD software. Before running K-UPLOAD, set DIP-switches 1 to 4 to ON (ON-ON-ON-ON), turn the power Off and then back On. After completion of flash memory upgrade, set DIP-switches 1 to 4 to their previous position and reset the power. i 24 The latest version of K-UPLOAD and installation instructions can be downloaded from the Kramer Web site at www.kramerelectronics.
