How to install PT-120xl

Setting up the PT-120xl is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime. Follow these steps to establish a robust, high-quality video link from your computer graphics source to your display:

• Power down all equipment before connecting to avoid any damage during setup.
• Connect the WP-110 transmitter (or a compatible Kramer transmitter) to the source computer’s graphics output using a compatible cable. Ensure the source is configured to output a graphics-safe resolution compatible with the receiver and display.
• Link the transmitter and PT-120xl receiver with a CATx twisted pair cable. Use a quality CAT5e/CAT6 cable of appropriate length to reach the receiver from the transmitter without excessive tension or bending.
• Connect the PT-120xl’s VGA output to the display device (projector, monitor, or TV) using a standard VGA cable or appropriate adapter. Verify that the display input is set to the correct source and the cable is securely connected.
• Apply power to both units using their respective power supplies. Turn on the transmitter first, followed by the PT-120xl receiver, and confirm that the link indicator shows a healthy connection and the display shows a stable image. If needed, adjust display settings or EDID preferences to optimize image clarity.

Frequently asked questions

• What does the PT-120xl do? The PT-120xl is an extended range twisted pair receiver that converts a CATx twisted pair signal from a Kramer transmitter (such as the WP-110) into a standard computer graphics video signal for a VGA display.
• Which transmitters are compatible? It works with the WP-110 transmitter and other Kramer transmitters in the same family, allowing flexible configurations across different installations.
• What kind of display connection is provided? The receiver outputs a computer graphics video signal through a VGA (HD-15) connector, enabling easy connection to most projectors and monitors.
• Do I need a special cable for the connection? Yes. You will use a CATx twisted pair cable (such as CAT5e/CAT6) to run the video from the transmitter to the PT-120xl receiver, along with standard VGA cables for your display connections.
• Is audio transmitted along with the video? The PT-120xl is designed for computer graphics video over twisted pair. Audio, if required, should be carried separately through an appropriate audio path, as this device focuses on delivering high-quality video signals.
• How do I know the link is working? Look for the receiver’s status indicators to confirm a healthy twisted pair link and power presence. If the image is not displaying correctly, recheck cable connections, ensure the transmitter and receiver are powered, and verify that the source resolution is compatible with the display.
• Can the PT-120xl be mounted in a rack? Yes. Its compact design is suitable for desktop placement or mounting in a rack with compatible mounting hardware, making it adaptable for professional install environments.
