Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer TP-580Txr transmitter and/or

TP-580Rxr receiver, which can be part of a transmitter/receiver system and are

ideal for the following typical applications:

Conference rooms, boardrooms, auditoriums, hotels, churches, classrooms

and production studios

Rental and staging

Note that TP-580Txr and TP-580Rxr are purchased separately, and

can be connected to other HDBaseT certified transmitters and

receivers, respectively.

TP-580Txr/TP-580Rxr - 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 http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

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 TP-580Txr and TP-580Rxr 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.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

TP-580Txr/TP-580Rxr - Overview

3 Overview

The TP-580Txr and TP-580Rxr are a high-performance, extra range, HDBaseT

technology Twisted Pair transmitter and receiver for HDMI, bidirectional RS-232

and IR signals. The TP-580Txr converts the HDMI signal, RS-232 and IR input

signals to a twisted pair signal. The TP-580Rxr converts the twisted pair signal

back into HDMI, RS-232, and IR signals.

The TP-580Txr and TP-580Rxr can together form an extended HDMI/data line

transmission and reception system or can separately connect to other certified

HDBaseT devices to form the transmission and reception system. For example, the

transmitter and receiver system can be composed of WP-580Txr that connects to

the Kramer TP-580Rxr to form a transmitter / receiver pair.

The TP-580Txr and TP-580Rxr transmitter/receiver feature:

A bandwidth of up to 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel) in normal

mode; up to 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel) in ultra-mode

System Range - Up to 130m (430ft) normal mode; up to 180m (590ft) ultra

mode (1080p @60Hz @24bpp) when using BC−HDKat6a cables

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.

2K and 4K support in normal mode

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

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

TP-580Txr/TP-580Rxr - Overview

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

Section 6.1)

LED status indicators for input, 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

3.1 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.

3.2 Using Twisted Pair Cable

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our

digital twisted pair products; 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.
