Kramer TP-122xl: Computer Graphics Video & Stereo Audio over Twisted Pair Receiver

The Kramer TP-122xl is a high-performance twisted pair receiver engineered for professional-grade multimedia installations where pristine computer graphics video and high-fidelity audio must travel long distances over a single cable. This robust device converts the twisted pair input into crystal-clear WUXGA video (up to 1920x1200) along with unbalanced stereo and S/PDIF audio signals, delivering an integrated AV solution that fits seamlessly into classrooms, control rooms, corporate environments, and broadcast-ready setups. Built to handle demanding workloads, the TP-122xl offers HDTV compatibility, reliable performance, and thoughtful design that supports flexible placement and easy integration with existing Kramer systems.

• The TP-122xl delivers superior signal integrity over twisted pair, translating computer graphics video to high-resolution WUXGA (1920x1200) and 1080p, ensuring sharp text, precise color, and smooth motion for presentations, CAD workflows, and video walls. This makes it ideal for mission-critical applications where pixel-perfect output and consistent image quality are essential, even across long cable runs.
• Integrated audio versatility includes unbalanced stereo outputs for traditional AV gear and an S/PDIF digital audio output for modern AV receivers and DACs. This dual-output design ensures synchronization between video and audio across diverse systems, enabling clean, playback-quality sound without the need for multiple signal paths or adapters.
• HDTV-compatible performance means the TP-122xl supports contemporary display technology, projectors, and professional monitors used in education, corporate presentations, and live events. Users can rely on dependable compatibility with high-definition sources while maintaining reliable visual fidelity across devices with varying input capabilities.
• Robust interference protection minimizes signal degradation caused by crosstalk, EMI, and external electrical noise, making the TP-122xl suitable for environments with substantial equipment and cabling. This resilience helps preserve video clarity and audio integrity even when devices share power lines or when cable runs traverse demanding venues.
• Compact, plug-and-play deployment simplifies installation in tight spaces such as lecterns, equipment racks, or ceiling-mounted setups. The TP-122xl is designed to be integrated quickly into existing Kramer ecosystems, reducing installation time and helping AV teams deploy reliable, long-distance signal transmission with minimal disruption to other systems.

How to install Kramer TP-122xl

• Plan your layout and cable route, selecting appropriate twisted pair cables that suit the distance and environment. Keep the path away from high-power lines and sources of EMI, and secure cables to prevent movement that could loosen connections.
• Connect a transmitter on the source side (e.g., a computer graphics source or video processor) to the corresponding twisted pair cable and then connect the other end to the TP-122xl’s input. Ensure the transmitter and receiver are powered as required and that any required link or jumper settings match your system configuration.
• On the display side, connect the TP-122xl’s video output to the display or projector input that accepts the translated video signal. Connect the unbalanced stereo output to an AV receiver, powered speakers, or mixer as needed, and route the S/PDIF digital output to a compatible digital audio device if your installation requires digital audio capture or playback.
• Apply power to the TP-122xl and all connected equipment. Power on the source device first, then the display, ensuring the receiver detects the signal and passes video and audio cleanly. If the video appears with artifacts or no audio, recheck cable integrity, connector seating, and any source or display EDID settings that may influence synchronization.
• Test the system across the intended distance and usage scenarios. Verify both video detail and color accuracy at the target resolutions and confirm audio channels are synchronized. If needed, adjust display settings, cable length, or pairing with a compatible transmitter to optimize performance and reliability for your specific installation.
