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 The high quality TP-578H DGKat to HDMI Receiver accepts a DGKat TP (Twisted Pair) signal from a compatible Kramer DGKat transmitter and decodes it into the following signals: HDMI IR S/PDIF digital audio Balanced and unbalanced audio RS-232 The device is designed to be used in conjunction with any Kramer DGKat switcher or transmitter, (for example, the WP-577VH).
Note: The TP-578H can supply power to PowerConnect devices but can only be powered by PowerConnectPlus devices.

Figure 2: TP-578H DGKat to HDMI Receiver Rear Panel # Feature Function 1 AUDIO OUT 5-way Terminal Block Connect to the balanced, stereo audio acceptor (see Section 5.2) 2 RS-232 3-way Serial Terminal Block Connect to the RS-232 serial transmitter or receiver. Note: Data is transmitted even in the absence of a video or audio signal (see Section 6.4) 3 REMOTE 3-way Terminal Block For future use 4 LED 3-way Terminal Block For future use 5 PROG.
5 Connecting the TP-578H i Always disconnect/switch off the power to all devices before connecting them to your TP-578H. After connecting your TP-578H, connect its power and then reconnect/switch on the power to the other devices. Figure 3: Connecting the TP-578H DGKat to HDMI Receiver To connect the TP-578H as illustrated in the example in Figure 3: 1. Connect the DGKat Out RJ-45 connector on the WP-577VH to the DGKat In RJ-45 connector on the TP-578H using STP cable (see Section 3.1). 2.
4. Connect the Audio Out S/PDIF digital, RCA audio connector on the TP-578H to the audio acceptor, (for example, an audio amplifier with speakers). 5. Connect the power adapter to the TP-578H and to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3). 5.1 Connecting a Serial Controller to the TP-578H via RS-232 To connect a serial controller to the TP-578H: 5.
6 Operating the TP-578H 6.1 The K-Link Setup 4-way DIP-switch The Setup 4-way dip-switch lets you lock the EDID and set the output timeout. When a switch is down it is on and when it is up it is off. Switch # Feature Function Switch State 1 Lock EDID Locks the current EDID in memory On—Lock EDID (down) Off—Normal EDID mode (Default, up) 2 Output timeout Turns off the output after 300 seconds when there is no input signal On—Timeout enabled Off—Timeout disabled.
6.4 Setting the Active or Passive Data K-Link Mode Note: Data is transmitted even in the absence of video and audio signals.

7 Wiring the TP RJ-45 Ethernet Connector Connect/solder the cable shield to the RJ-45 connector shield at both ends of the cable. ! Do not use a crossed TP cable with this product. Using a TP cable that is incorrectly wired may cause permanent damage to the device. Do not use unshielded TP cables with this product. Figure 6 defines the TP pinout using a straight pin-to-pin cable with RJ-45 connectors.

10 Protocol 3000 The TP-578H can be operated using serial commands from a PC, remote controller or touch screen using the Kramer Protocol 3000. This section describes the: 10.1 Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see Section 10.1) Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see Section 10.2) Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax 10.1.1 Host Message Format Start Address (optional) Body Delimiter # device_id@ Message CR 10.1.1.
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.
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.
