WP-580Txr/WP-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 WP-580Txr and WP-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.

WP-580Txr/WP-580Rxr - Overview

3 Overview

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

technology Twisted Pair transmitter and receiver for HDMI signals.

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

The WP-580Rxr converts the twisted pair signal back into an HDMI signal.

The WP-580Txr and WP-580Rxr together form an extended 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

WP-580Rxr to form a transmitter / receiver pair.

The WP-580Txr and WP-580Rxr transmitter/receiver pair features:

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)

3D pass through

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

LED status indicators for power

Wall plate size of 2 gang EU/US/Decora®

WP-580Txr/WP-580Rxr - Overview

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.
