Introduction 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 the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis.

Getting Started 2.1 Quick Start This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.
Overview 3 Overview The TP-575 is a twisted pair line driver and DA for HDMI. The TP-575 receives an HDMI signal from a transmitter (for example, the Kramer PT-571) via the LINE IN RJ-45 connector. It decodes this input signal to the local output and simultaneously transmits it to a TP receiver (for example, the PT-572+) which converts it back to an HDMI signal 1.
Overview The TP-575 is 12V DC fed and is housed in a MegaTOOLS® enclosure where two units can be rack mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-T2B rack adapter. 3.1 About HDMI High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital 1 audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema industry. It delivers the highest high-definition image and sound quality.
Overview 3.2 Defining EDID The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID 1 ) is a data-structure provided by a display to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the TP-575 to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, product type, timing data supported by the display, display size, luminance data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data. 3.
