Kramer DigiTOOLS TP-580RA HDBaseT Receiver with 4K60 Support, PoH, RS-232, IR, and Stereo Audio, up to 70m

Unlike typical HDBaseT receivers that only extend video, the Kramer TP-580RA adds audio de-embedding, RS-232, and IR control in a compact DigiTOOLS enclosure, making it a versatile endpoint for professional AV installations. It receives HDBaseT signals up to 70m at 1080p or 40m at 4K, and can be powered over the same cable via PoH from a compatible transmitter.

Highlights

• Receives HDBaseT signals up to 70m (230ft) at 1080p or 40m (130ft) at 4K@60Hz (4:2:0)
• Supports HDCP 2.2 and data rates up to 10.2Gbps
• Outputs HDMI, stereo analog audio, RS-232, and IR for control and audio integration
• Can be powered via Power over HDBaseT (PoH) from a compatible transmitter, eliminating the need for a local power supply
• Compact DigiTOOLS enclosure, rack-mountable with optional RK-3T adapter (1U)

In daily use

The TP-580RA sits at the display end of an HDBaseT link, converting the incoming signal to HDMI while extracting audio to a 3.5mm stereo jack. Its RS-232 and IR ports allow bidirectional control of sources or displays, and PoH support simplifies installation by powering the receiver through the same CAT cable. With a 5V DC power supply included for standalone use, it operates reliably in temperatures from 0° to +40°C.
