Introduction

1 Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics (since 1981): a world of unique, creative and

affordable solutions to the infinite range of problems that confront the video,

audio and presentation professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have

redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our

500-plus different models now appear in 8 Groups

, which are clearly defined

by function.

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer Cobra TWA. The Kramer Cobra

Series System extends VGA and audio signals over ordinary Category 5

cable. For information on the respective receiver units, refer to the

appropriate manual included with the receiver.

The package includes the Cobra TWA and this user manual

The Kramer Cobra series products are not compatible with Kramer non-Cobra

series products.

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

. You may

also need CAT5 cable

3 Overview

Our Kramer Cobra series products are compatible with Cat5/5e/6 data

cabling as well as skew free CAT5/5e cabling manufactured for video

applications. Note that some skew free Cat5 is specific to a particular vendor

and is not compatible with our products. Ensure any skew free CAT5 cable is

non-proprietary prior to purchase / installation.

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

We recommend using our Kramer Cobra ultra low skew cable—BC-HDTP

(solid bulk) or BCP-HDTP (solid plenum bulk)—available in lengths of 700'

(210m) and 1300' (390m).

CAT6 cable, due to the manufacture method, can exhibit much greater skew

than standard CAT5/5e and may require skew compensation beyond what the

standard product offers. Contact Kramer Electronics for assistance.

CAT5/5e/6 cabling for this product must be pinned to the TIA-EIA T568B

wiring specification (see appendix A). We also highly recommend that all

CAT5 cables be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in an

existing infrastructure should be tested before use to ensure compliance with

the TIA-EIA T568B specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5 cables

can damage this product.

Achieving the best performance means:

Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and

elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and positioning your Cobra TWA in a

location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust

Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.

Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power

wall adapter that is provided with this unit

Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

Warning –This equipment is not intended for, nor does it

support, distribution through an Ethernet network. Do not

connect these devices to any sort of networking or

telecommunications equipment!

Setup and Installation

4 Setup and Installation

The section describes how to setup and install the Cobra TWA. In general, the

connection and setup procedure at both transmitter and receiver ends is as

follows:

At the transmitter end:

1. Connect the source video to the Cobra Series transmitter video input port,

which is an HD15 connector labeled VIDEO. Adapter cables may be

necessary if using component, s-video, or composite signals.

2. Make your audio connections via the 1/8” (3.5 mm) AUDIO connector.

3. Connect the CAT5 cable to the rear of the transmitter.

4. Apply power on the transmitter. The LED should light.

5. When the transmitter has been tested and is functioning normally,

complete installation into a US style wall box or low voltage J-Box.

At the receiver end (refer to the receiver user guide):

1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT HD15 connector to the display unit.

2. Connect a 1/8” (3.5 mm) audio cable to the AUDIO OUTPUT connection.

3. Connect the CAT5 cable to the UTP connection.

4. Apply power. The LED should light and video should appear on the display

(make sure display is powered ON).

5. To adjust video levels see the appropriate section in receiver user manual.

With regard to connecting the cables:

We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the Cobra TWA

components before applying power.

Be sure that the CAT5 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply

with the T568B wiring specification (see Appendix A).

Setup and Installation

4.1 Connections on the Cobra TWA

The Cobra TWA transmitter supports video and audio signals over CAT5

cable. The audio signal is line-level R/L summed and powered speakers are

required. Figure 1 shows the Cobra TWA transmitter connections.

Figure 1: Connecting the Cobra TWA Transmitter

4.2 Installing the Cobra TWA

The Cobra TWA transmitter can be installed into a 1 gang electrical wall box

and fits a standard Decora wall plate cover.

The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes.

4.3 Powering the Cobra TWA

The Cobra TWA is designed to be powered by a 12VDC power supply.

NOTE:

Observe proper polarity when connecting the power supply to the unit.

Ensure the positive + lead is connected to the positive + side of the

connector. Incorrectly wiring the power connector will damage the unit.

Solutions to Common Problems

5 Solutions to Common Problems

There are no user configurable settings on the Cobra TWA.

In most cases, nearly every issue with the Cobra Series can be resolved by

checking the CAT5 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the 568B

wiring specification. However, there may be other problems that cause the

system to not perform as it’s designed. Below are solutions to the most

common installation errors.

Problem:

No video signal at the receiver.

Solution:

Check that both units are powered.

Ensure Cable Length Compensation adjustments are set

correctly on the receiver.

Make sure the CAT5 cable is terminated correctly per the 568B

wiring specification.

Is the display device powered on and functioning?

Problem:

Poor video quality.

Solution:

Have all receiver adjustments been performed?

Check all cable connections.

Ensure Cable Length Compensation adjustments are set

correctly on the receiver.

The video signal’s refresh rate may be set too high for the display.

Reset to a lower refresh rate in your monitor-configuration menu.

Problem:

Poor audio quality.

Solution:

Powered speakers are required. Make sure speaker power is ON.

Check input source levels from the source device. Make sure the

audio source is not overdriven or underdriven.

Problem:

“Green shift” or “green washout” on multimedia signals.

Solution:

The standard video model is designed to function with DC

coupled signals in which the black level is referenced to 0 volts.

Nearly all VGA cards function this way.

Some media servers and VGA DA’s, however, provide AC

coupled signals and can cause a green color shift in the video. This

is a result of the sync clamping on the red and blue channels of the

transmitter/receiver units.

For five-component (RGB/H&V) AC coupled video, the Cobra

Transmitter unit has been designed with full DC restoration

capability. The Cobra TWA may need to be replaced with a

Universal transmitter
