3.1 Summarizing the DVI Line Transmitter / Receiver System
Using the PT-571HDCP DVI Line Transmitter with the PT-572HDCP DVI
Line Receiver constitutes a DVI-to-twisted pair transmitter and receiver
system. The DVI Line Transmitter / Receiver system features:
• System Range
1
• Cables – For optimum range and performance, use Kramer's
BC-DGKat524, BC-DGKat623 and BC-DGKat7a23
- Up to 90m (295ft) at SXGA, or up to 30m (98ft) at
UXGA on shielded BC-DGKat524 cable; 90m (295ft) at SXGA, or up to
70m (230ft) at UXGA on shielded BC-DGKat623 cable; 100m (330ft)
at SXGA or up to 80m (265ft) at UXGA on shielded BC-DGKat7a23

• HDCP compliance
• The passing of EDID

• Power Connect™ feeding 12V DC over the CAT 5 cable from
transmitter to receiver (see section
signals from the source to the
display device using the CAT 5 cable

• Two DVI-I connectors, that are compatible with all types of DVI cables
Note that only the digital signal (DVI D) is available on the DVI connector.
3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature
The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the
transmitter, can be connected to a power source when the devices are within
270 feet (90 meters) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as
long as the cable can carry power. The distance does not exceed 90 meters on
standard CAT 5 cable, for longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used

Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables may not reach these ranges
