TP-581T, TP-582T and TP‑582R - 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-581T, TP-582T and TP-582R 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.

2.3 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-581T, TP-582T and TP‑582R - Overview

3 Overview

The TP-582T and TP-582R are a high-quality twisted pair transmitter and receiver

for HDMI, 100BaseT Ethernet, bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals.

With the TP-582T you can select one of two HDMI inputs, and convert it with the

100BaseT Ethernet, RS-232 and IR input signals to a twisted pair signal. The

TP-582R converts the twisted pair signal back to 100BaseT Ethernet, RS-232, IR

and two HDMI outputs, and de-embeds the audio to S/PDIF and TOSLINK® audio

outputs. The TP-581T is identical to the TP-582T but has only one HDMI input.

Since the TP-581T has only one input, it does not have the input selection control which the

TP-582T has (that is, contact closure, IR and front panel input selection).

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).

The transmitter/receiver pair features:

A maximum data transfer rate of 6.75Gbps (2.25Gbps per graphic channel)

(1080p@60Hz 36-bit) over a range of up to 130m (430ft) when using

BC−HDKat6a cables

HDTV compatibility

HDMI support for Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, HDMI Uncompressed

Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, CEC

3D pass-through

HDCP compliance

EDID PassThru, passes EDID/HDCP signals from source to display

A bidirectional RS-232 interface over which commands and data can flow in

both directions via the RS-232 interface at rates up to 115200, allowing

status requests and control of the destination unit

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

Section 5.3)

100BaseT Ethernet interface for connection to a network (see Section 5.5)

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

TP-581T, TP-582T and TP‑582R - Overview

Two RJ-45 CAT 5 output connectors: one for the line output and the other

for the Ethernet input

The compact MegaTOOLS® enclosures (for the transmitters and the receiver) let

you rack mount up to two units side-by-side in a 1U 19” rack space when using the

optional RK-T2B rack.

In addition, the TP-582T HDMI Switcher/Line Transmitter also features:

Two HDMI inputs

Momentary remote contact closure for input switching

Front panel input select button

IR remote control input switching (via the Kramer IR remote control

transmitter)

The TP-582R HDMI Line Receiver DA also features:

One RJ-45 CAT 5 input connector

Two HDMI outputs

An S/PDIF digital audio output

A TOSLINK®optical audio output

The TP-581T HDMI Line Transmitter also features:

One HDMI input

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 uncompressed full

high-definition video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, power over cable, as well as

various control signals.

The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

TP-581T, TP-582T and TP‑582R - Overview

3.2 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.
