PT-580T/TP-580T/TP-580R - Getting Started

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

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/PT-580T

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check

if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer PT-580T, TP-580T and TP-580R transmitter/receiver

pair away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution:

There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning:

Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall

adapter that is provided with the unit

Warning:

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the

wall before installing

2.3 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC

aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by

requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,

Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced

Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and

recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN

facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country

go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerAV.com/support/recycling/.

PT-580T/TP-580T/TP-580R - Overview

3 Overview

This section describes the PT-580, TP-580T and TP-580R features.

3.1 TP-580T and TP-580R Overview

The TP-580T and TP-580R are a high-performance, HDBaseT technology twisted

pair transmitter and receiver for HDMI, bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals. The

TP-580T converts the HDMI signal, RS-232 and IR input signals to a twisted pair

signal. The TP-580R converts the twisted pair signal back into HDMI, RS-232, and

IR signals.

The TP-580T and the TP-580R can form a transmission and reception system

either together or each device separately with another certified HDBaseT device.

For example, the transmitter and receiver system can be composed of the TP-580T

that connects to the Kramer TP-580R to form a transmitter receiver pair.

The TP-580T transmitter and TP-580R receiver feature:

A bandwidth of up to 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel), supporting

4K resolution

A range of 70m (230ft) at 2K, 40m (130ft) at 4K UHD resolutions

For optimum range and performance using HDBaseT™, use Kramer's

BC−HDKat6a cable. Note that the transmission range depends on the

signal resolution, source and display used. The distance using

non−Kramer CAT 6 cable may not reach these ranges.

HDBaseT™technology

HDTV compatibility and HDCP compliance

HDMI support - HDMI (deep color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, HDMI

uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS−HD, CEC, 2k, 4k, 3D)

EDID pass through, passes EDID/HDCP signals from the source to the display

Bidirectional RS-232 interface - commands and data can flow in both

directions via the RS−232 interface, allowing status requests and control of

the destination unit

PT-580T/TP-580T/TP-580R - Overview

Bidirectional infrared interface for remote control of peripheral devices (see

Section 4.1)

LED status indicators for input selection, output, link and power

Compact DigiTOOLS®enclosures, and these can be rack mounted side-by-

side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-3T, RK-6T or RK-9T universal

rack adapters

3.2 PT-580T Overview

The PT-580T is a high-performance, HDBaseT technology Twisted Pair

transmitter for HDMI signals and converts it to a twisted pair signal. An HDBaseT

receiver (for example the TP-580R or WP-580R) converts the twisted pair signal

back into an HDMI signal and together they form a transmitter receiver pair.

The PT-580T transmitter features:

A bandwidth of up to 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel), supporting

4K resolution

A range of up to 70 meters (230 feet)

HDBaseT technology

HDTV compatibility and HDCP compliance

HDMI support - HDMI (deep color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, HDMI

uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS−HD, CEC, 2k, 4k, 3D)

EDID pass-through - passes EDID signals from the source to the display

LED status indicator for power

Ultra-Compact PicoTOOLS™ – 4 units can be rack mounted side−by−side in

a 1U rack space with the optional RK−4PT rack adapter

For optimum range and performance using HDBaseT™, use Kramer's

BC−HDKat6a cable. Note that the transmission range depends on the

signal resolution, source and display used. The distance using

non−Kramer CAT 6 cable may not reach these ranges.

3.3 About HDBaseT™ Technology

HDBaseT™ is an advanced all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the

HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the consumer home environment

as a digital home networking alternative where it enables you to replace numerous

cables and connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for example,

uncompressed full high-definition video, audio, IR, as well as various control

signals.

The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

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−HDKat6a (CAT 6 23 AWG cable)

significantly outperforms regular CAT 5 / CAT 6 cables.

We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable.
