3.1 Your TP-100AXR PC/Audio Line Transmitter

The TP-100AXR is a PC/audio stereo line transmitter that receives a PC

signal and an unbalanced stereo analog audio signal and transmits them over

CAT 5 cable to up to two TP-200AXR receivers, converting the unbalanced

stereo analog audio signal to digital audio (S/PDIF) stream before

transmitting, thus preserving the quality of the audio signal. In particular,

the TP-100AXR features:

• Resolution up to and including WUXGA

• HDTV compatibility

• Looping inputs that allow connection of a local display and audio

acceptor

• A transmission range of more than 300 ft (more than 100 meters),

and a 20kHz audio bandwidth with an S/N ratio that exceeds 80dB

on the same transmission range

• The Power Connect™ feature that can power both units over the

CAT 5 cable

• 12V DC power

3.2 Your TP-200AXR PC/Audio Line Receiver

The TP-200AXR is a PC/audio line receiver that receives the coded CAT 5

signal transmitted by a TP-100AXR, decodes it and converts it to two PC,

stereo analog and S/PDIF digital audio outputs. The TP-200AXR, with a

TP-100AXR, allows an operation range of more than 300 ft. (more than

100 meters) over standard CAT 5 cable.

In addition, the TP-200AXR:

• Provides high resolution up to WUXGA

• Is HDTV compatible
