Kramer PT-101DP [7/13] Overview

4 PT-101DP - Overview

3 Overview

The PT-101DP is a repeater for DisplayPort video signals. The unit reclocks and

equalizes the signal enabling multiple units to be cascaded and can extend the

length of a DisplayPort line up to 35 meters (115ft) at resolutions of UXGA/1080p

using Kramer cables.

The PT-101DP features:

• A data rate of 1.62 Gbps or 2.7Gbps per lane

• HDTV compatibility

• HDCP compliance

• Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology that rebuilds the digital

signal to travel longer distances

3.1 About DisplayPort

DisplayPort (DP) is a digital display interface standard for the PC industry. It delivers

the highest resolutions and sound quality.

In addition, DisplayPort:

• Provides a simple interface between a PC and a display, projector or TV

• Supports 1 to 4 data pairs ("lanes") at a transfer rate of either 1.6Gbps or

2.7Gbps (device dependent) per lane

• Has a maximum length of 35m (115ft) for video transmission at a resolution

of 1080p/60Hz

• Video specs include a video path that supports 6 to 16 bits per color

channel, a maximum resolution of 2560x1650 pixels and a total maximum

bandwidth of 10.8Gbps over four lanes. (Transmission length is

compromised when exceeding 1080p/60Hz resolution)

• Is backward-compatible with HDMI, DVI (Digital Visual Interface) and VGA,

via an appropriate adapter

• Version 1.1 supports HDCP
