TPS Interface
The device is built with TPS (Twisted Pair Single) interface which are using HDBaseT
TM
technology. It means
the unit transmits video, audio, Ethernet, RS-232, and Infrared signals via a single CATx cable.
TPS Interface Working Modes
The TPS working mode between the transmitter and the receiver is determined by the mode set in them.
