Kramer TP-41 Video Extender
The TP-41 is a reliable twisted pair transmitter designed to carry component video signals (YUV) and S/PDIF audio over a single twisted pair, delivering high-quality AV performance in professional environments. As the companion to Kramer’s TP-42 receiver, the TP-41 forms a complete extension system that preserves signal integrity across distances, making it an ideal solution for classrooms, boardrooms, control rooms, and broadcast setups where clean, stable video and audio transmission are essential.
- Component video (YUV) and S/PDIF audio over twisted pair: The TP-41 converts digital-ready, high-fidelity component video and digital audio into a single twisted pair signal for long-distance transport, reducing cable clutter and interference while maintaining color accuracy and audio clarity.
- Professional-grade signal extension: Built for durable performance in demanding environments, the TP-41 is part of Kramer’s trusted line of AV extensions, designed to meet the needs of installers and operators who require dependable, consistent results.
- Seamless system pairing: When used with Kramer TP-42 receivers, the TP-41 enables a complete extender system. The transmitter sends the YUV video and S/PDIF audio over twisted pair to the TP-42, which reconstructs the original component video and digital audio at the display end.
- Simple, scalable installation: By leveraging standard twisted pair cabling, the TP-41 simplifies routing in complex environments. It reduces the number of cables required and minimizes potential EMI or crosstalk when paired with properly shielded cables.
- Versatile integration for AV projects: The TP-41’s design supports a range of professional deployment scenarios—from fixed installations in conference rooms to flexible setups in education and event venues—where reliable video and audio distribution over distance is essential.

How to install Kramer TP-41 Video Extender
- Power off all equipment before installation and plan cable routing to minimize interference and ensure clean signal paths.
- Connect the source device’s component video (YUV) output to the TP-41 input using appropriate cables.
- Connect the source device’s S/PDIF digital audio output to the TP-41’s audio input, ensuring secure connections to preserve audio fidelity.
- Run a suitable twisted pair cable from the TP-41 transmitter location to the TP-42 receiver location, making sure the cable is properly terminated and protected from physical damage.
- At the receiving end, connect the TP-42’s component video output to the display or downstream device’s component input, and connect the TP-42’s S/PDIF input to the corresponding audio input on the display or a downstream device.
- Power on the transmitter (TP-41) and receiver (TP-42) assemblies, then test the video and audio signal. Confirm color fidelity, synchronization, and audio clarity. Adjust placement or cabling as needed to optimize signal integrity.
Frequently asked questions
- What does the Kramer TP-41 do? The TP-41 is a twisted pair transmitter designed to carry component video (YUV) and S/PDIF digital audio over a twisted pair cable, extending AV signals to a compatible TP-42 receiver for display.
- How does the TP-41 work with the TP-42? The TP-41 transmits the YUV video and digital audio over a paired twisted pair; the TP-42 receives the signal, reconstructs the component video and S/PDIF audio, and delivers them to the display or downstream devices.
- What installation scenarios are ideal for the TP-41? The TP-41 is well-suited to professional AV installations where long cable runs are needed, such as lecture halls, conference rooms, control rooms, and broadcast environments requiring reliable component video and digital audio extension.
- Do I need any additional equipment? Yes—an accompanying TP-42 receiver is required to complete the extender link. Depending on the setup, you may also need the appropriate power supplies and shielding for the cabling to maximize performance.
- Can I mix brands with the TP-41? The TP-41 is designed to pair with Kramer TP-42 receivers for optimal performance. For best results, use Kramer components together as an extender pair.
