The Kramer Pico TOOLS™ PT-561 HDMI Line Transmitter is a standalone device that performs the same functions as the WP-561. The WP-561/PT-561 features: • An HDMI input , and a pair of RJ-45 CAT 5 output connectors • One power status LED • Bandwidth up to 1.65Gbps • EDID PassThru that passes EDID/HDCP signals from source to display • A bidirectional IR input/output transmitting and receiving IR commands over the CAT 5 cable2 • Power Connect™ feeding 5V DC over the CAT 5 cable from the transmitter to the receiver 1 Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. The distance using non- Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables may not reach these ranges 2 Compatible with a Kramer transmitter and via a Kramer external remote IR receiver: C-A35M/IRR or C-A35M/IRE or C-A35M/2IRE

Overview 4 3.2 WP-562/PT-562 HDMI Line Receiver The Kramer Wall Plate WP-562 HDMI Line Receiver is a wall plate module that receives an encoded signal over two CAT 5 cables transmitted from the PT-561 or WP-561, decodes it, and converts it to an HDMI output. The Kramer Pico TOOLS™ PT-562 HDMI Line Receiver is a standalone device that performs the same functions as the WP-562. The WP-562/PT-562 features: • An HDMI output and a pair of RJ-45 CAT 5 input connectors • One power status LED • Bandwidth up to 1.65Gbps • EDID PassThru that passes EDID signals from source to display • A bidirectional IR input/output transmitting and receiving IR commands over the CAT 5 cable1 • Power Connect™ feeding 5V DC over the CAT 5 cable from transmitter to the receiver2 3.3 About the Power Connect™ Feature The PT-561/PT-562 and WP-561/WP-562 have the Power Connect™ feature where the transmitter delivers power and the HDMI signal to the receiver using the same CAT 5 cable. 3.4 Using Twisted Pair Cable Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24 AWG), the Kramer: BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built cables significantly outperform regular CAT 5/CAT 6/CAT 7a cables. 1 Compatible with a Kramer transmitter and via a Kramer external remote IR receiver: C-A35M/IRR or C-A35M/IRE or C-A35M/2IRE 2 The WP-562/PT-562 receives power only by means of the Power Connect feature

Connecting the PT-561 and PT-562 14 7 Connecting the PT-561 and PT-562 You can use the PT-561 HDMI Line Transmitter with the PT-562 HDMI Line Receiver to configure an HDMI transmitter/receiver system. To connect the PT-561 to the PT-562, as illustrated in the example in Figure 9, do the following: 1. Connect the CAT 5 OUT 1 and OUT 2 RJ-45 connectors1 on the PT-561 to the CAT 5 IN 1 and IN 2 RJ-45 connectors on the PT-562, respectively via two CAT 5 cables (see section 7.1). 2. On the PT-562, connect the HDMI OUT connector to an HDMI acceptor (for example, a display). 3. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity to the PT-561 (not shown in Figure 9). 4. On the PT-561, connect an HDMI source (for example, a DVD player) to the HDMI IN connector. 5. If required, connect an IR receiver and IR emitter to the 3.5mm mini jacks on the PT-561 and the PT-562, respectively2. 1 See section 7.1 2 See section 7.2

In the example illustrated in Figure 9, the display can be controlled from a distance by transmitting the IR signal from the display remote control via the IR Receiver1, CAT 5 cables and the IR emitter2 which is attached to the IR sensor window of the display. Alternatively, you can control the DVD player by sticking the IR LED of the IR emitter to the IR sensor window of the DVD player, and connecting it to the PT-561. The IR Receiver is connected to the PT-562, letting you control the DVD player from a distance via the CAT 5 cables. 1 For example, the Kramer C-A35M/IRR IR Receiver 2 For example, the Kramer C-A35M/IRE IR Emitter
