Product Information

Full details

The Kramer TP-580T is a professional-grade HDBaseT transmitter designed for AV integrators and technicians who need to extend HDMI, RS-232, and IR signals over long distances. It excels at maintaining signal integrity across complex installations, though it is important to note that performance is highly dependent on using high-quality cabling like the Kramer BC-HDKat6a to achieve the maximum 70-meter range. This compact device ensures that high-definition content, including 3D and high-resolution audio, remains crisp and synchronized between sources and remote displays.

FAQs

What is the maximum transmission range?

The system supports up to 70 meters (230 feet) when using high-quality cabling like Kramer's BC-HDKat6a.

Can I use any CAT 6 cable?

While it may work, using non-Kramer or lower-quality cables may result in shorter distances and degraded signal performance.

Is this device HDCP compliant?

Yes, the TP-580T is HDCP compliant, ensuring it works with protected digital content.

Does it support 4K resolution?

The unit supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD) as standard.

How many units can I fit in a rack?

You can mount three units side-by-side in a 1U rack space using the optional RK-3T universal rack adapter.

Does the unit require external power?

Yes, the device operates on 12V DC power provided by an external supply.

Troubleshooting

No image on the display

Check all physical connections, verify that the HDBaseT link LED is illuminated, and ensure the display is set to the correct HDMI input.

Signal drops or intermittent flickering

This is often caused by cable quality; test with a shorter or higher-specification CAT 6a cable to rule out signal attenuation.

Remote control commands not passing through

Ensure the RS-232 or IR cables are correctly pinned and that both the transmitter and receiver are correctly identified by the control system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable signal extension up to 70 meters
  • Support for bidirectional control signals
  • Compact and durable build quality
  • Excellent compatibility with high-end audio formats
  • Simple status monitoring via front-panel LEDs

Cons

  • Maximum range depends heavily on cable quality
  • Requires a matching HDBaseT receiver unit
  • No built-in wireless functionality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup begins by connecting your HDMI source, IR emitter/sensor, and RS-232 control cable to the respective host interfaces on the TP-580T. The HDBaseT output uses a standard RJ-45 connector; connect this to your receiver unit using a high-quality shielded twisted-pair cable. Once powered by the included 12V supply, the unit's status LEDs will indicate input and link activity. For maintenance, keep the device in a well-ventilated area within the operating temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. Ensure the unit remains dry, and avoid bending the CAT cable at sharp angles, as this can degrade signal quality over long runs.
