1. Introduction
1.1 Introduction to TP70A
TP70A is a mini-size extender set consists of a transmitter and a receiver. DMI signals
are input into the transmitter and HDBaseT technology is used to transmit
high-resolution 1080p/ 4k signal to the receiver up to 70/40 m via a Cat5e/Cat6A cable.
The receiver then outputs the HDMI signal. Bi-directional IR and PoC power is also
transmitted across the Cat5e/Cat6A cable.
The set also supports ARC, which enables audio upstreaming from display to speakers.
1.2 Features
HDMI1.4 compliant, support full HD, delivers high-resolution signal (max at
4Kx2K)
Maximum transmission distance is 70m for 1080p and 40m for 4Kx2K over single
CAT5e/CAT6A cable
High Bandwidth: 10.2Gps.
Compliant with HDCP1.4
Uses HDBaseT technology for extended capability and reliability
Support bi-directional PoC

humidity.
2) All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated and
safety.
3) All devices should be connected before power on.
4) Use shielded straight-thru Cat5e/Cat6A cable with TIA/EIAT568B terminations for
good transmission effect.

Figure 3- 1 System Connection
3.3 Connection Procedures
Step1.Connect HDMI source (such as Blue-ray DVD) to HDMI IN port of the transmitter
with an HDMI cable.
Step2.Connect TP OUT port of the transmitter to TP IN port of the receiver through a
CAT5e/CAT6A cable.
Step3.Connect a HDMI display (such as HDTV) to HDMI OUT port of the receiver with
HDMI cable.
Step4.When using the bi-directional IR control, do the following.

3.4 PoC Solution
TP70A boasts HDBT port which support PoC. Connect the DC adapter to either the
transmitter or the receiver, the other end is able to be energized synchronously (see in
the following figure):
Figure 3- 2 PoC Connection
3.5 ARC Solution
Coax audio ports and HDMI ports boast ARC (Audio Return Channel) function which
enables a display via a single audio/ HDMI cable to send (upstream) audio to amplifiers/
speakers, increasing user flexibility.
The transmitter provides an ARC switcher on the bottom panel to enable ARC mode
selection. There are 2 modes in total, Connections should vary in different ARC modes
to ensure normal ARC output. See the chart below:
