1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professionals on a daily basis.
2 Getting Started We recommend that you: Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment i 2.1 Review the contents of this user manual Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
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.
3 Overview This section describes the PT-580, TP-580T and TP-580R features. 3.1 TP-580T and TP-580R Overview The TP-580T and TP-580R are a high-performance, HDBaseT technology twisted pair transmitter and receiver for HDMI, bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals. The TP-580T converts the HDMI signal, RS-232 and IR input signals to a twisted pair signal. The TP-580R converts the twisted pair signal back into HDMI, RS-232, and IR signals.
Bidirectional infrared interface for remote control of peripheral devices (see Section 4.1) LED status indicators for input selection, output, link and power Compact DigiTOOLS® enclosures, and these can be rack mounted side-byside in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-3T, RK-6T or RK-9T universal rack adapters 3.2 PT-580T Overview The PT-580T is a high-performance, HDBaseT technology Twisted Pair transmitter for HDMI signals and converts it to a twisted pair signal.
3.3 About HDBaseT™ Technology HDBaseT™ is an advanced all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the consumer home environment as a digital home 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. i 3.4 The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

4 Connecting the TP-580T and TP-580R ! Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your Transmitter and Receiver. After connecting your Transmitter and Receiver, connect their power and then switch on the power to each device. You can use the TP-580T HDMI Line Transmitter and the TP-580R HDMI Line Receiver to configure an HDMI transmitter/receiver system, as shown in the example in Figure 4. To connect the TP-580T, connect the: 1.

4.1 Controlling the A/V Equipment via an IR Transmitter Since the IR signal on the TP-580T/TP-580R transmitter/receiver pair is bidirectional, you can use a remote control transmitter (that is used for controlling a peripheral device, for example, a DVD player) to send commands (to the A/V equipment) from either end of the transmitter /receiver system.
The example in Figure 6 illustrates how to control the LCD display that is connected to TP-580R using a remote control, via theTP-580T. In this example, the External IR Sensor is connected to the IR connector of the TP-580T and an IR Emitter is connected between the TP-580R and the LCD display. The LCD display remote control sends a command while pointing towards the External IR Sensor. The IR signal passes through the TP cable and the IR Emitter to the LCD display, which responds to the command sent.
4.2 Connecting to a PC You can connect to the transmitter/receiver system via an RS-232 connection using, for example, a PC. Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required. To connect a PC via RS-232, connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the transmitter/receiver system unit via a 9-wire straight cable (only pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5 need to be connected) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC.
5 Connecting the PT-580T ! Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your PT-580T and the receiver. After connecting your PT-580T/receiver, connect the power and then switch on the power to each device. To connect the PT-580T to a receiver (for example, the TP-580R), as illustrated in the example in Figure 8, do the following: 1. Connect an HDMI source (for example, a DVD player) to the HDMI IN connector. 2.
6 Wiring the RJ-45 Connectors This section defines the TP pinout, using a straight pin-to-pin cable with RJ-45 connectors. i Note, that the cable Ground shielding must be connected / soldered to the connector shield.
7 Technical Specifications TP-580T TP-580R INPUTS: 1 HDMI connector 1 RJ-45 connector OUTPUTS: 1 RJ-45 connector 1 HDMI connector PORTS: 1 IR on a 3.5mm mini jack 1 IR on a 3.5mm mini jack (for (for emitter or sensor) emitter or sensor) 1 RS-232 on a 9-pin D-sub 1 RS-232 on a 9-pin D-sub connector connector Supports up to 3.
