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 video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professionals

on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our

line, making the best even better!

Our 1,000-plus different models now appear in 11 groups that are clearly defined

by function: GROUP 1: Distribution Amplifiers; GROUP 2: Switchers and Routers;

GROUP 3: Control Systems; GROUP 4: Format/Standards Converters; GROUP

5: Range Extenders and Repeaters; GROUP 6: Specialty AV Products; GROUP

7: Scan Converters and Scalers; GROUP 8: Cables and Connectors; GROUP 9:

Room Connectivity; GROUP 10: Accessories and Rack Adapters and GROUP 11:

Sierra Video Products.

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer PT-571 and PT-572+

transmitter/receiver pair, which is ideal for the following typical applications:

Boardrooms, conference rooms and training rooms

Presentation systems

Signal distribution and home theater

You must use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling with the

PT-571 and PT-572+.

Use only a straight pin-to-pin cable with RJ-45 connectors that meet

the EIA /TIA 568B standard. Failure to do so may result in damage

to the device(s).

PT-571/PT-572+ - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer PT-571 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution:

There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning:

Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall

adapter that is provided with the unit

Warning:

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

2.3 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC

aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by

requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,

Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced

Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and

recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN

facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country

go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

PT-571/PT-572+ - Overview

3 Overview

The PT-571 is a DGKat™ twisted pair transmitter for HDMI signals. The PT-571

converts an HDMI signal to a single twisted pair signal and the PT-572+ converts

the twisted pair signal back to an HDMI signal.

The HDMI Line Transmitter/Receiver system features:

Maximum data rate 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel)

HDTV compatibility

HDCP compliance

HDMI support

EDID PassThru that passes EDID signals between the source and display

3D pass-through

System Range –Up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 30m (98ft) at 1080p on

shielded BC-DGKat524 cable; 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 70m (230ft) at

1080p on shielded BC-DGKat623 cable; 100m (330ft) at 1080i or up to 90m

(295ft) at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat7a23 cable

Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and

display used. The distance using non-Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables may not

reach these ranges

DGKat™ Signal Integration – Kramer’s unique technology for converting

TMDS as well as control and communication to signals that run over twisted

pair cables

Power Connect™ that feeds 12V DC over the CAT 5 cable from transmitter

to receiver (see Section 3.2)

Ultra-Compact PicoTOOLS™ – 4 units can be rack mounted side−by−side

in a 1U rack space with the optional RK−4PT rack adapter.

Use only shielded cable where both ends of the shield are soldered

to ground to eliminate ESD interface.

PT-571/PT-572+ - Overview

3.1 Using Twisted Pair Cable

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our

digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24 AWG), the

Kramer: BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23

(CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built cables significantly outperform

regular CAT 5/CAT 6/CAT 7a cables.

3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature

The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the

transmitter or receiver, needs to be connected to a power source when the

devices are within 60m (197ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature

applies as long as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed

60m on standard TP cable. (Heavier gauge cable may be used to extend the

Power Connect™ range).
