Latency Issues

By Tom
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-03-30

I'm using 571/572s for video, with audio going to mixer and house speakers. Video and audio are not in synch. Presonix mixer has no function to delay audio. Help, anyone?

Works perfectly!

This Receiver/Transmitter pair really just makes a long (up to 295ft) HDMI cable. Nothing to 'install' as much as just 'plug in'. You'll need an HDMI cable at each end - plan accordingly. Use shielded cable!

See any errors on this page?

question

what is the max resolution that this will support?
Asked by: Anonymous
This depends on the type of cable you use and the length of the cable. This is what I found on the Kramer Website System Range - Up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 30m (98ft) at 1080p on shielded BC?DGKat524 cable. Up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 70m (230ft) at 1080p on shielded BC?DGKat623 cable. Up to 100m (330ft) at 1080i or up to 90m (295ft) at 1080p on shielded BC?DGKat7a23 cable. It's highly recommended to use a shielded cable.

Would i need the receiver if i have a device that supports HDBT?
Asked by: Dylan
No, the Kramer PT-571 HDMI over Twisted Pair Transmitter will allow you to output HDBT signals directly to the device you are using that has HDBT input. You do not need a receiver.

question

Is there any audio delay or sync issues with audio and video?
Asked by: Stephen
We have zero issues with these family of products from Kramer. We use them quite frequently. This product, the receiving end as well as the model (576, I think it is) that is a receiver, hdmi loop out and and extender - which is then terminated with this product here. Our application is for video conferencing and digital signage, so I can't say we are pushing the limits with HDCP, etc. So far anything we have sent over the units has worked though, including Comcast/xfinity TV signaling.
