3 Overview
The TP-582T and TP-582R are a high-quality twisted pair transmitter and
receiver for HDMI, 100BaseT Ethernet, bidirectional RS-232 and IR
signals.
With the TP-582T you can select one of two HDMI inputs, and convert it
with the 100BaseT Ethernet, RS-232 and IR input signals to a twisted pair
signal. The TP-582R converts the twisted pair signal back to 100BaseT
Ethernet, RS-232, IR and two HDMI outputs, and de-embeds the audio to
S/PDIF and TOSLINK® audio outputs. The TP-581T is identical to the
TP-582T but has only one HDMI input

The twisted pair transmitter and receiver require shielded twisted pair (STP)
cable. For optimum range and performance use Kramer's BC-DGKat524,
BC-DGKat623 and BC-DGKat7a23 cables. Note that the transmission range
depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. The
distance using non-Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6, and CAT 7 cables may not reach
these ranges. Use only shielded cable where both ends of the shield are
soldered to ground.

3.1 Features of the TP-581T, TP-582T and TP-582R
This transmitter/receiver pair features:
• Signals of up to 2.25Gbps (up to 1080p@60Hz 36 bit) over a range of up
to 100 meters (330 feet) using Cat-5e or Cat6 cables and a system range
of up to 130 meters (430 feet) using BC DGKat623 or BC-DGKat7a23
• HDTV compatibility
• HDMI support (V.1.4 with Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, HDMI
Uncompressed Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, CEC)
• 3D pass through
• HDCP compliance
• A bidirectional RS-232 interface over which commands and data can
flow in both directions via the RS-232 interface at rates up to 115200,
allowing status requests and control of the destination unit
• Bidirectional infrared interface for remote control of peripheral devices
(see Section
5.3)
• 100BaseT Ethernet interface for connection to a network (see Section
3.3)
1 Since the TP-581T has only one input, it does not have the input selection control which the TP-582T has (that is, contact
closure, IR and front panel input selection)
