TP-590Txr – Overview

We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable.

 Stereo, analog audio transmission  EDID pass through, passes EDID signals from the source to the display  Bidirectional RS-232 interfaces—data flows in both directions allowing data

transmission and control of devices

 Bidirectional infrared interface for remote control of peripheral devices (see

Section 6.4)

 Power over Ethernet—the transmitter can provide power over the HDBT link

to a PoE compatible receiver, (for example, the TP-588D)

 LED status indicators for input, output, HDBT link, and PoE  Remote control using RS-232 or an Ethernet LAN  MegaTOOLS® enclosures of which two can be rack-mounted in a 1U rack

space with the optional RK-T2B rack adapter

3.1 Using Twisted Pair Cable

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 5/CAT 6 cables.

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.

6 Principles of Operation

6.1 Audio Output

The source of the audio that is output depends on the switch settings (see

Section 7.1) and also on whether there is an audio signal on the input. The audio

output follows the rules described in the following table.

6.2 Output Timeout

The device can automatically turn off the output after a definable interval following the loss of the input signal or unplugging of the input cable. This delay can be set using the Protocol 3000 commands, (see Section 10.2).

6.3 Output Timeout

The device can automatically turn off the output after a definable interval following the loss of the input signal or unplugging of the input cable. This delay can be set using the DIP-switches, (see Section 7) or using the Protocol 3000 commands, (see Section 1 10.2).

6.4 Controlling A/V Equipment via an IR Remote Control

Since the IR connection between the TP-590Txr transmitter and TP-590Rxr receiver is bidirectional, you can use a remote control transmitter (that is used for controlling a peripheral device, for example, a Blu-ray disk player) to send commands from either end of the transmitter or receiver system. To use a remote control transmitter, connect the Kramer IR sensor at one end (P/N 95-0104050)

TP-590Txr - Principles of Operation

and the Kramer IR emitter at the other end (P/N C-A35/IRE-10). Two sample cases are presented below.

The example in Figure 4 illustrates how to control a Blu-ray disk player using a remote control via the TP-590Rxr that is connected to the TP-590Txr. The IR sensor is connected to the TP-590Rxr and an IR emitter is connected between the TP-590Txr and the Blu-ray disk player. The Blu-ray disk player remote control sends a command while pointed at the external IR sensor. The IR signal is passed over the HDBT link and the IR emitter to the Blu-ray disk player which responds to the command sent.

TP-590Txr - Principles of Operation

Figure 4: Controlling a Blu-ray Disk Player via the TP-590Txr

The example in Figure 5 illustrates how to control the projector that is connected to TP-590Rxr using a remote control, via the TP-590Txr. The IR sensor is connected to the TP-590Txr and the IR output of the TP-590Rxr is connected between the TP-590Rxr and the projector. The projector remote control sends a command while pointed at the external IR sensor. The IR signal is passed over the HDBT link and the IR emitter to the projector which responds to the command sent.

10 Protocol 3000

The HDMI Line Transmitter can be operated using serial commands from a PC, remote controller or touch screen using the Kramer Protocol 3000.

This section describes:

 Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see Section 10.1)  Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see Section 10.2)

10.1 Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax

10.1.1 Host Message Format

10.1.1.1 Simple Command

Command string with only one command without addressing:

10.1.1.2 Command String

Formal syntax with commands concatenation and addressing:

10.1.2 Device Message Format

TP-590Txr - Protocol 3000

Start

Address (optional)

Body

Delimiter

Device_id@

Command SP [Param1 ,Param2 …] result

CR LF

10.1.2.1 Device Long Response

Echoing command:

CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D) LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A) SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)

10.1.3 Command Terms

Command

A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-'). Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space.

Parameters A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters ('0'-'9','A'-'Z','a'-'z' and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.

Message string Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message

starting character and ends with a message closing character. Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by

a pipe ( '|' ) character.

Message starting character '#' – For host command/query '~' – For device response

Device address (Optional, for K-NET) K-NET Device ID followed by '@'

Query sign '?' follows some commands to define a query request.

TP-590Txr - Protocol 3000

Message closing character CR – For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) CRLF – For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)

Command chain separator character

When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ( '|' ) character separates each command.

Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.

10.1.4 Entering Commands

You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial or Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key. ( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).

For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.

10.1.5 Command Forms

Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.

10.1.6 Chaining Commands

Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is

delimited by a pipe character (“|”). When chaining commands, enter the message starting character and the message closing character only once, at the

beginning of the string and at the end.

Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered.

A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.

10.1.7 Maximum String Length

64 characters

Step 2: If ready was received, send EDID_DATA Response 2: ~nn@LDEDID␠ dst_type, dest_bitmask, size, safe_mode␠ OK␍␊ or

~nn@LDEDID␠ ERRnn␍␊

Parameters

dst_type - EDID destination type (usually input) dest_bitmask - bitmap representing destination IDs. Format: 0x********, where * is ASCII presentation

of hex digit. The binary presentation of this number is a bit mask for destinations. Setting ‘1’ means

EDID data has to be copied to this destination

size - EDID data size safe_mode - 0 - Device accepts the EDID as is without trying to adjust

1 - Device tries to adjust the EDID EDID_DATA - data in protocol packets

Response Triggers

Response is sent to the com port from which the Set (before execution)

Notes

When the unit receives the LDEDID command it replies with READY and enters the special EDID packet wait mode. In this mode the unit can receive only packets and not regular protocol commands. If the unit does not receive correct packets for 30 seconds or is interrupted for more than 30 seconds

before receiving all packets, it sends timeout error ~nn@LDEDID␠ ERR01␍␊ and returns to the regular protocol mode. If the unit received data that is not a correct packet, it sends the corresponding error and returns to the regular protocol mode.
