TP Cable Advantages
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than
coaxial cable. The TPT150 makes cable runs simpler and less cumbersome.
Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
Transmission distance
The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency and resolution. The
following table specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances using
CAT 5/5e/6 cable, terminated with the appropriate connectors.
It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however, image quality may
be reduced.
We recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated
on site should be tested before use.
Recommended transmission ranges at 60 Hz

Features
Four input A/V switcher — Accepts, switches, and transmits RGBHV, component
video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-video, composite video, and RS-232 serial content.
Accepts and switches unbalanced line level stereo audio.
Buffered monitor output on input 1 — Provides for local monitor output on a
15-pin HD female VGA connector, enabling a signal to be easily monitored
locally without the need for a separate distribution amplifier.
Universal projector control — The TPS150 provides universal projector control via
serial commands entered by the installing technician. Commands are
automatically sent when the input selection or Projector Power buttons are
pressed. The included ICS100 control software makes storing projector or
display control codes easy.
Skew compensation control — Individual red, green, and blue skew controls
adjust for the timing delays commonly encountered when CAT 5, CAT 5e, or
CAT 6 cable is used.
Sharpness control — Provides video equalization with individual low frequency
and high frequency adjustments. The low frequency control helps remove
image smearing. The high frequency control restores image sharpness and
detail.
Audio input level adjustment — Each individual input has a level adjustment via
the front panel and RS-232 control. Audio levels are saved for each input and
are automatically recalled when that input is selected.
