Kramer PT-571 [7/15] Overview

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.
