2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality
• Position your Kramer PT-101H4 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

3 Overview

The PT-101H4 is a high-performance repeater and format converter for HDMI signals. The unit combines previous HDMI formats and Ethernet to provide HDMI (v1.4 HEAC) and de-embedded audio over S/PDIF.

The PT-101H4 HDMI Repeater and Format Converter.

• Extends the transmission range to up to 35m (115ft) with 1080p @60Hz resolution
  • Features reclocking and equalization
• Provides HDMI support on the output
  • Supports up to 2.25Gbps bandwidth
• Combines an HDMI 1.3 signal with Ethernet to produce an HDMI (1.4 HEAC) signal For Ethernet connectivity, an HDMI 1.4 version output cable must be used.
• Outputs S/PDIF audio from the Audio Return Channel of the HDMI output signal
• Passes the HPD (Hot Plug Detect) and CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signals from the display to the source device
• Provides EDID PassThru—Passes EDID/HDCP signals from source to display

3.1 About HDMI—General Description

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema industry. HDMI ensures an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-to-analog conversions. It delivers the maximum high-definition image and sound quality in use today. Note that Kramer Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.

In particular, HDMI:

• Provides a simple interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a digital flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy cable
  SIMPLICITY - With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables currently used in A/V systems is reduced.
  LENGTHY CABLE - HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m.
• Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable
  MULTI-CHANNEL DIGITAL AUDIO - HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats.
• Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements
• Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video quality via a single cable, and user-friendly connector
  HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a simple, cost-effective manner.
• Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
• Supports CEC, two-way communication between the video source (such as a DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such as automatic configuration and one-button play
• Has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats (720p, 1080i, and 1080p), standard definition formats such as NTSC or PAL, as well as 480p and 576p

3.2 About HDCP

The High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard developed by Intel, protects digital video and audio signals transmitted over DVI or HDMI connections between two HDCP-enabled devices to eliminate the reproduction of copyrighted material. To protect copyright holders (such as movie studios) from having their programs copied and shared, the HDCP standard provides for the secure and encrypted transmission of digital signals.

3.3 Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the display's source). The EDID enables the PT-101H4 to "know" what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer's name, the product type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.

EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).

5 Connecting the PT-101H4

To connect the PT-101H4 as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:

1. Connect the HDMI source (for example, a Blu-ray disc player) to the INPUT HDMI connector on the front of the PT-101H4.

2. Connect the ETHERNET RJ-45 connector on the front of the PT-101H4 to the LAN using CAT 5 twisted pair cable.

For Ethernet connectivity, an HDMI 1.4 version output cable must be used. For best performance, use Kramer cables.

1. Connect the OUTPUT HDMI connector on the rear of the PT-101H4 to the HDMI acceptor (for example, an HDMI display).

2. Connect the S/PDIF RCA connector on the rear of the PT-101H4 to the digital audio acceptor (for example, a home theater system).

3. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket on the PT-101H4 and to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 2).
