Altinex debuts the new TP115-201/202
Altinex introduced the TP115-201/202 Video+Audio+IR+RS-232 to Twisted Pair Transmitter/Receiver that transmits video (computer or component), stereo audio (analog or digital), RS-232, and IR signals over a single twisted pair-type (CAT-5) cable. Ideal for conference facilities, lecture halls, presentation spaces, and similar venues, the compact TP115-201/202 enables AV integrators to take advantage of existing cable infrastructure to contain costs while providing an effective means of distributing these signals up to 300 feet.
The TP115-201 transmitter provides buffered local outputs for both video and audio with the local video and audio output in the same format as the input, thereby enabling placement of personal monitor and loudspeakers nearby while the audience views a larger display and listens through the main PA.
When a local monitor is connected, the TP115-201 passes the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) data from the monitor to the computer video source; otherwise Altinex’ built-in EDID data is passed to the video source. The TP115-201 and TP115-202 support analog audio with RGBHV video and optical/digital audio with YPbPr component video. The TP115-202 receiver accepts the twisted pair signal from the TP115-201 transmitter and decodes the video, audio, and control signals for output to a projector, display, amplifier, speakers, etc.
The transmitter has a 15-pin HD female connector that the local outputs use for video input (RGBHV or YPbPr) and a 3.5 mm optical mini jack or audio input. The female RJ-45 output provides the main drive to the twisted pair cable that is accepted on the receiver’s female RJ-45 main input connector. The receiver also has a 15-pin HD female connector for video output (RGBHV or YPbPr) and a 3.5 mm optical mini jack for audio output. These latest generation devices enable IR (Infrared) or RS-232 data to be transmitted bi-directionally. The TP115-201 and TP115-202 can be configured to transmit IR and RS-232 data, and IR transmission can be made possible through the use of AC301-110 IR Receiver and AC301-111 IR Emitter.
