AV receiver Kramer Electronics TP-580R Black

The Kramer Electronics TP-580R is a high-performance HDBaseT receiver that converts an HDBaseT twisted-pair signal back into HDMI, bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals. Designed for AV installations, it supports up to 10.2 Gbps total data rate (3.4 Gbps per graphic channel), 2K and 4K resolutions (up to 3840 x 2160), HDCP and HDTV compatibility, 3D pass-through and a system range of up to 70 m depending on resolution and cable quality. The compact DigiTOOLS® form factor and standard 12 V AC operation make it suitable for installation in diverse AV setups.

Advantages

The TP-580R offers full HDMI feature support including Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, uncompressed HDMI audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and CEC. It provides EDID pass-through to preserve source/display communication, status LEDs for input, output, link and power, and bidirectional RS-232 and IR interfaces for remote control and status queries. Using HDBaseT technology and recommended Kramer BC-HDKat6a cable ensures optimum range and performance.

How to use

Connect the HDBaseT twisted-pair cable from the TP-580T transmitter to the TP-580R HDBaseT input. Attach the HDMI cable from the TP-580R to the display and connect any RS-232 or IR control lines required for bidirectional control. Power the unit with the specified 12 V AC supply. Verify link and status LEDs to confirm proper connection and use EDID pass-through if the source and display require specific handshake information.

Recommendations

For optimum range and reliable performance, use Kramer BC-HDKat6a cable; transmission distance may be reduced with non-Kramer CAT6 cables. Confirm the required resolution and HDCP/EDID settings for your source and display before installation.
