5. About Your TP115-350 & TP115-351

• Resolutions 1280x720, 1920x1080, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p (does not support 480i or 480p)
• Supports HDMI, DV1, 12-bit Deep Color, and HDCP
- IR pass-through (receiver to transmitter)
- Loop out for up to 20 receivers from single transmitter
• Up to 300 ft. (91 m) at 1080p

The TP115-350 and TP115-351 provide a means of transmitting HDMI signals up to 1080p over long distances by means of a single RG 6 coaxial cable. The TP115-350 Transmitter converts the HDMI video and audio signals into a digital format for transmission over the coaxial cable. The TP115-351 Receiver converts the coaxial signal back into standard HDMI format for connection to a display, TV, or other device. The transmitter/receiver pair supports HDMI, DVI, and 12-bit Deep Color as well as HDCP.

In addition to HDMI transmission, the TP115-350 TP115-351 pair allows for a remote control's IR signal to pass from the receiver back to the transmitter in order to control the video source (DVD player, Blu-ray, etc.) from the display location. The IR capability is present in all units and supports single press functions like power, play, stop, etc.
Each TP115-351 Receiver has an additional coaxial output that can be used as the input by another receiver in the same area. Note that the receiver coaxial output can transmit the same distance as the transmitter main output.

7. Operation

7.1 Getting Started

The TP115-350 and TP115-351 do not require any adjustments for optimum performance. Once connected, the transmitter and receiver will work trouble free without user intervention.

7.2 Using IR Control

There are 2 options for IR transmission; both require the AC301-111 IR Emitter to be connected to the IR Emitter output of the TP115 350 Transmitter with the emitter covering the receiving on the source; DVD, Blu-ray, etc. See Diagram 2.

WARNING: Do NOT use both methods! This will result in signal conflicts that can disrupt video/audio transmission as well as rendering the IR signal invalid.

7.2.1 Accessory AC301-112 IR Receiver cable

Connect the IR Receiver into the TP115-351 Receiver's IR Extender port. Place the receiving end on or near the display where users typically aim the remote control. The receiver can be placed elsewhere is necessary.

7.2.2 Built-in IR Receiver (eye) on TP115-351

The TP115-351 has a built-in IR receiver next to the Power LED. This IR receiver can be used in place of the above method if the TP115-351 is placed so that the remote control can be aimed at the receiving eye.

7.3 Multiple Receivers

A single transmitter can be used to drive several receivers using the loop output of the receivers. The loop output of one receiver connects to the main input of another receiver; up to 20 receivers can be connected in this fashion. The loop out connector is located next to the main input connector on the receiver. See Diagram 3 for details.

WARNING: If using an IR receiver to control the video at the source, place the IR receiver on the receiver nearest the transmitter in the chain. Depending on the cable quality and cable length between receivers, the IR receiver may be plated on the second or third receiver in the chain.

8. Troubleshooting Guide

We have carefully tested and have found no problems in the supplied TP115-350/351. However, we would like to offer suggestions for the following:

Switcher
Symptom	Resolution
LED Is OFF	1. Make sure the unit is plugged into a working AC outlet and the DC plug is inserted all the way into the switcher.2. Use only the power adapter provided.
No Display on Projector	1. Check the source and make sure there is a signal present.2. Make sure the display has power and is turned on.3. Try setting the output resolution of the source to a lower value.Note: If using a PC/laptop as the source, the resolution must be set to 1280x720 or 1920x1080.
Poor Output Image	1. Make sure the BNC termination is connected to the unused output on the receiver.2. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the RG-6 cable.3. Check the quality of the grounding on the RG-6 BNC connectors.4. Try setting the output resolution of the source to a lower value.Note: If using a PC/laptop as the source, the resolution must be set to 1280x720 or 1920x1080.
Intermittent Image	1. Make sure the BNC termination is connected to the unused output on the receiver.2. Adjust the source to a lower resolution. If the cable is too long or of poor quality, it may be possible to display a lower resolution.
No Audio	1. Make sure the volume on the display (or amplifier) is turned on and set to a normal level.2. Some laptops require the HDMI audio to be enabled. This can be done through the audio setup objects located in the Control Panel.3. If the audio signal was lost due to excessive IR transmissions, reset power to either the TP115-350 or TP115-351. The IR transmission between the transmitter and receiver is not designed to support sustained IR transmission like that encountered when pressing and holding the volume button on a remote control. It is designed to support single press functions like PLAY, STOP, INPUT, etc. that do not require press and hold.
IR Not Responding	1. Make sure the AC301-111 IR Emitter is plugged all the way into the TP115-350 and that the emitter eye is placed directly over the source (DVD, Blu-ray, etc.) receiving eye.2. If using the AC301-112 IR Receiver, make sure the signal from the remote control is not visible to the TP115-351 Receiver. If necessary, cover the receiving eye on the TP115 351.3. If multiple receivers are in use, make sure the IR receiver is plugged into the receiver nearest the transmitter in the chain.
