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 TP-581T, TP-582T and TP-582R away from moisture,

excessive sunlight and dust

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.

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).

The transmitter/receiver pair features:

 A maximum data transfer rate of 6.75Gbps (2.25Gbps per graphic channel)

(1080p@60Hz 36-bit) over a range of up to 130m (430ft) when using BC−HDKat6a cables

 HDTV compatibility  HDMI support for Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, HDMI Uncompressed

Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, CEC

 3D pass-through  HDCP compliance  EDID PassThru, passes EDID/HDCP signals from source to display  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 5.5)  LED status indicators for input, output, link and power

TP-581T, TP-582T and TP‑582R - Overview

The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

 Two RJ-45 CAT 5 output connectors: one for the line output and the other
