The Kramer TP‑42 is a professional‑grade twisted‑pair line receiver designed to restore component video (Y, U, V) and S/PDIF digital audio signals that have been transmitted over a single CAT5/UTP or STP cable. It is part of a paired system (with a transmitter) that enables long‑distance extension of high quality A/V signals for studio, presentation or installed AV applications where conventional cabling is impractical. Key Features: Long‑distance signal extension: Accepts a twisted‑pair CAT5 or similar cable input via an RJ‑45 connector and restores the original component video and digital audio outputs at the far end, enabling distances up to approximately 100metres under specified conditions. HDTV compatible with component video: Capable of handling video resolutions up to 1080i and delivering clean YUV component outputs, making it suitable for high‑definition systems. Individual level (gain) and EQ (peaking) controls: Provides separate adjustment for the Y, U and V video signals and for the S/PDIF audio level, allowing installers to compensate for cable losses, long runs or system imbalances for optimal picture and sound. Compact Kramer TOOLS enclosure: Housed in a small form factor that allows up to three units to be mounted side by side in a standard 1U 19‑inch rack space (with optional rack adapter), which simplifies installation in rack‑based AV systems. Single power supply requirement with Power Connect capability: The system is designed so that only one unit in the signal path (either transmitter or receiver) needs to be powered, simplifying wiring and reducing power outlet needs.
