before installing

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

• Review the contents of this user manual

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 neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

• Position your TP-588D away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Warning:

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

2.3 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/

TP-588D - Getting Started 3

3 Overview

The high quality TP-588D HDBT to DVI/HDMI Receive r accepts an HDBaseT TP (Twisted Pair) signal from a compatible Kramer HDBaseT transmitter and decodes it into the following signals:

• DVI

• HDMI

• S/PDIF, digital audio

• Balanced, analog audio

• IR

• Ethernet

• RS-232

Using the TP-588D you can also receive via the TP cable:

• EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and DVI signals between the

TP-588D and the transmitter

• HPD (Hot Plug Detect) signals from the display device to the source

The device is designed to be used in conjunction with any Kramer HDBaseT switcher or transmitter, (for example, the TP-580TXR, the WP-20, or the SID-X2N).

The TP-588D features:

• HDCP support

• HDTV compatibility

• 4K support

• Deep color (36bpp in normal range and 24bpp in ultra mode) support

• 3D support

4 TP-588D - Overview

• Up to 130m (430ft) at normal mode (2K), up to 100m at normal mode (4K); up

to 180m (590ft) ultra mode (1080p @60Hz @24bpp) when using BC−HDKat6a cables

• I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – Intelligent EDID handling

& processing algorithm ensures Plug and Play operation for HDMI systems

• Equalization and re-clocking of the data

• Up to 10.2Gbps data rate (3.4Gbps per graphics channel)

• Power over Ethernet receiver—the device can operate without a dedicated

power supply when connected to a device that provides PoE, (for example, the PSE-2)

• A MegaTOOLS® sized enclosure. Three devices can be mounted in a 1U rack

space using the optional RK-3T adapter

• Lockable EDID

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products; BC−HDKat6a (CAT 6 23 AWG cable) significantly outperforms regular CAT 6 cables.

We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable

3.1 About HDBaseT™ Technology

HDBaseT™ is an advanced all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the ProAV – and also the home – environment as a digital networking alternative, where it enables you to replace numerous cables and connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for example, uncompressed full high-definition video, audio, IR, as well as various control signals.

The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

3.2 About the Power over Ethernet Feature

Power over Ethernet passes electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to compatible devices.
