3 Overview
The TP-573 and TP-574 are a twisted pair transmitter and receiver for
HDMI, bidirectional RS-232 and infrared signals. The TP-573 converts the
input signals to a twisted pair signal and the TP-574 converts it back to
HDMI, RS-232 and infrared signals.
Using the TP-573 and TP-574, you can pass via the twisted pair cable:
• EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and HDCP signals
between the TP-573 and TP-574, and vice versa between the TP-574
and TP-573
• HPD (Hot Plug Detect) signals from the display device to the source
The transmitter / receiver pair feature:
• A maximum data rate of 1.65Gbps
• Bidirectional RS-232 and IR interfaces. The IR input/output transmits
and receives IR commands over CAT 5 cable
1
• An RS-232 baud rate of up to 38400kbps
• HDTV compatibility
• A system range

of up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 30m (98ft) at
1080p on shielded BC-DGKat524 cable; 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to
70m (230ft) at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat623 cable; 100m (330ft ) at
1080i or up to 90m (295ft) at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat7a23 cable.
