2 WP-580T/WP-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

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 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 WP-580T transmitter and WP-580R receiver 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.

4 WP-580T/WP-580R - Overview

3 Overview

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

Twisted Pair transmitter and receiver for HDMI signals. The WP-580T converts the

HDMI signal to a twisted pair signal. The WP-580R converts the twisted pair signal

back into an HDMI signal.

The WP-580T and the WP-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

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

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

•A bandwidth of up to 3.4Gbps

•A range of up to 70 meters (230 feet) at 1080p@60Hz@36bpp, using

Kramer BC−DGKat623 cables

•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 indicators for power

•Wall plate size of 2 gang EU/US

For optimum range and performance, use Kramer's BC −DGKat524,

BC−DGKat623 and BC−DGKat7a23 shielded twisted pair (STP)

cables. Note that the transmission range depends on the signal

resolution, graphics card and display used. The distance using

non−Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6, and CAT 7 cables may not reach these

ranges.

3.1 About HDBaseT™ Technology

HDBaseT™ is an advanced and inexpensive 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; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24 AWG), the

Kramer: BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23

(CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built cables significantly outperform

regular CAT 5 / CAT 6 / CAT 7a cables.
