2.1 Quick Start
This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.
Overview
3 Overview
The TP-582T and TP-582R are a high-quality twisted pair transmitter and
receiver for HDMI, 100BaseT Ethernet, bidirectional RS-232 and IR
signals.
With the TP-582T you can select one of two HDMI inputs, and convert it
with the 100BaseT Ethernet, RS-232 and IR input signals to a twisted pair
signal. The TP-582R converts the twisted pair signal back to 100BaseT
Ethernet, RS-232, IR and two HDMI outputs, and de-embeds the audio to
S/PDIF and TOSLINK® audio outputs. The TP-581T is identical to the
TP-582T but has only one HDMI input
The twisted pair transmitter and receiver require shielded twisted pair (STP)
cable. For optimum range and performance use Kramer's BC-DGKat524,
BC-DGKat623 and BC-DGKat7a23 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. Use only shielded cable where both ends of the shield are
soldered to ground.
3.1 Features of the TP-581T, TP-582T and TP-582R
This transmitter/receiver pair features:
• Signals of up to 2.25Gbps (up to 1080p@60Hz 36 bit) over a range of up
to 100 meters (330 feet) using Cat-5e or Cat6 cables and a system range
of up to 130 meters (430 feet) using BC DGKat623 or BC-DGKat7a23
• HDTV compatibility
• HDMI support (V.1.4 with Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, HDMI
Uncompressed Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, CEC)
• 3D pass through
• HDCP compliance
• A bidirectional RS-232 interface over which commands and data can
flow in both directions via the RS-232 interface at rates up to 115200,
allowing status requests and control of the destination unit
• Bidirectional infrared interface for remote control of peripheral devices
(see Section
5.3)
• 100BaseT Ethernet interface for connection to a network (see Section
1
.
3.3)
1 Since the TP-581T has only one input, it does not have the input selection control which the TP-582T has (that is, contact
closure, IR and front panel input selection)

3.2 About HDMI
Overview
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed
all-digital
1
audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and
home cinema industry. It delivers the highest high-definition image and
sound quality.
2
In particular, HDMI
• Provides a simple
:

interface between any audio/video source, such as a
set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a
digital flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy
• Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel
digital audio
5
on a single cable
• Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital
audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements
and requirements
• Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video
quality via a single cable
6
, and user-friendly connector
• Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
• Supports two-way communication between the video source (such as a
DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such
as automatic configuration and one-button play
HDMI has the capacity to support:
• Existing high-definition video formats (720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60), as
well as standard definition formats such as NTSC or PAL

3 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a s ingle cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables
currently used in A/V systems is reduced
4 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m
5 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to
support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats
6 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a
simple, cost-effective manner
