TP-873xr/TP-874xr Quick Start
TP-873xr/TP-874xr Quick Start Guide
This guide helps you install and use your TP-873xr/TP-874xr for the first time.
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/TP-873xr to download the latest user manual and check if firmware
upgrades are available.
Step 1: Check what’s in the box
TP 873xr HDMI 4K Line Transmitter or
1 Power adapter and cord per device
TP 874xr HDMI 4K Line Receiver
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
We highly recommend using only Kramer UNIKAT cables with these products. If using 3rd party shielded CAT-6A cables, both ends of the
shield must be soldered to the connectors for the products to function properly. Do not use any jumpers, unshielded wall plates or midspan cable connections. These extenders are not compatible with HDBaseT technologies. Prior to signal extension, ensure that the
extension line cable is lying straight and not coiled.
Step 2: Get to know your TP 873xr and TP 874xr
TP 873xr
Lights green when an active source device input signal is detected.
Lights green when an active, far-end sink (acceptor) output signal is detected via
the DGKAT link.
Lights green when the device receives power.
Connect to an HDMI source.
DGKAT-2 OUT RJ-45 Connector
Connect to the DGKAT 2 IN RJ-45 connector on the TP 874xr
Set the operation DIP-switches (see Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs).
IR 3.5mm Mini Jack Connector
Connect to an external infrared emitter / sensor for IR signal bidirectional
extension to control a remote device. For example, connect to an external infrared
sensor to control the HDMI OUT acceptor that is connected to TP 874xr
RS-232 (G, Rx, Tx) 3-pin Terminal
Block Connector
Connect to a laptop to perform firmware upgrade or to an RS-232 port for serial
signal bidirectional extension to the receiver. For example, connect to an SL-
240C controller device to serially control the HDMI OUT acceptor that is
connected to TP 874xr.
12V DC connector for powering the unit when it is not powered by TP 874xr via
the DGKAT link.

Lights green when an active source device input signal is detected.
Lights green when an active, far-end sink (acceptor) output signal is detected
via the HDBT link.
Lights green when the device receives power.
Connect to an HDMI acceptor.
DGKAT-2 IN RJ-45 Connector
Connect to the DGKAT 2 OUT RJ-45 connector on the TP 873xr
Set the operation DIP-switches (see Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs).
IR 3.5mm Mini Jack Connector
Connect to an external infrared emitter / sensor for IR signal bidirectional
extension. For example, connect to an external infrared sensor to control the
HDMI IN source that is connected to TP 873xr.
RS-232 (G, Rx, Tx) 3-pin Terminal Block
Connector
Connect to a laptop to perform firmware upgrade or to an RS-232 port for serial
signal bidirectional extension to the transmitter. For example, connect to an
RS-232 device to be controlled, for example, a display.
12V DC connector for powering the unit when it is not powered by TP 873xr via
the DGKAT link.
Step 3: Mount TP-873xr/TP-874xr
Install TP-873xr/TP-874xr using one of the following methods:
• Attach the rubber feet and place the unit on a flat surface.
• Fasten a bracket (included) on each side of the unit and attach it to a flat surface
(see www.kramerav.com/downloads/TP-873xr).
• Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter
(see www.kramerav.com/product/TP-873xr).
• Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature &
air flow) is compatible for the device.
• Avoid uneven mechanical loading.
• Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.
• Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your TP-873xr/TP-874xr.
To achieve specified extension distances, use the recommended Kramer cables available at www.kramerav.com/product/TP-873xr.
Using third-party cables may cause damage!

Wiring the RJ 45 Connectors
This section defines the TP pinout, using
a straight pin-to-pin cable with RJ 45
connectors.
For DGKAT cables, ground shielding
must be connected/soldered to the
connector shield.
DIP-Switch Settings
All DIP-switches are set to OFF (up) by default.
OFF (up) – Standard compression level.
ON (down) – High compression level for additional range extension.
OFF (up) – Frequency is 38kHz.
ON (down) – Wide-range modulated IR frequency pass-through.
OFF (up) – Serial extension.
ON (down) – Serial device service mode.
OFF (up) – Normal operation mode.
ON (down) – FW upgrade mode (DIP-switch 3 needs to be ON).
Step 5: Connect the power
Connect the 12V power adapter to either TP 873xr or TP 874xr and plug it into the mains electricity. This device provides
power to its counterpart via DGKat 2.0. Each device can provide or accept power over cable (PoC) via DGKat 2.0.
Safety Instructions (See www.kramerav.com for updated safety information)
Caution:
• For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating for an external connection, located next to the
terminal or in the User Manual.
• There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.
Warning:
• Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.
• Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.
Step 6: Operate TP-873xr/TP-874xr
Upgrade TP-873xr/TP-874xr firmware, by RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a PC, or laptop.
