Overview
TP-580RA is a high-performance, long-reach HDBaseT™ receiver for 4K@60Hz (4:2:0)
HDMI™, RS-232, IR and stereo audio signals over twisted pair that extracts (de-embeds) the
stereo audio signal on its digital and analog audio ports. It extends video signals to up to 40m
(130ft) over CAT copper cables at up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) 24bpp video resolution and
provides even further reach for lower HD video resolutions.
•High Performance Standard Extender –Professional HDBaseT extender for providing
long-reach signals over twisted-pair copper infrastructures. TP-580RA is a standard
extender that can be connected to any market-available HDBaseT-compliant extension
product. For optimum extension reach and performance, use recommended Kramer
cables.
•HDMI Signal Extension –HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 1.4 compliant. Supports deep color,
x.v.Color™, lip sync, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K,
4K, and 3D. EDID and CEC signals are passed through from the source to the display.
•I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ –Intelligent EDID handling,
processing and pass-through algorithm that ensure Plug and Play operation for HDMI
source and display systems.
•Multi-channel Audio Extension –Up to 32 channels of digital stereo uncompressed
signals for supporting studio-grade surround sound.
•Audio Extraction (De-embedding) –According to auto-sensed signal attributes and per
user selection, the transmitted digital audio signal or Audio Return Channel (ARC)
signal, is extracted from the AV signal. In parallel to being transmitted to the HDMI AV
output, this signal is transmitted to the stereo, digital audio output, and converted to an
analog signal for transmission to the balanced stereo analog audio output. This enables
high-quality audio playback by routing the audio to external speakers in parallel to
routing to local speakers on the connected AV acceptor device (such as a TV or laptop).
•Bidirectional RS-232 Extension –Serial interface data flows in both directions, allowing
data transmission and device control.
•Bidirectional Infrared Extension –IR interface data flows in both directions, allowing
remote control of peripheral devices located at either end of the extended line.
•Easy Maintenance –Status LED indicators for HDMI and HDBT ports facilitate easy
local maintenance and troubleshooting. Local firmware upgrade via RS-232 connection
ensures lasting, field-proven deployment.

Operating the TP-580RA HDMI
Line Receiver
Controlling A/V Equipment via an IR Remote Control
You can use an IR remote-control transmitter (that is used for controlling a peripheral device,
for example, a Blu-ray disk player) to send commands from the receiver system. To use an IR
remote control transmitter, connect the Kramer IR sensor cable at one end, and the Kramer
IR emitter cable at the other end.
The example in Figure 4 illustrates how to control a Blu-ray disk player using an IR remote
control via the TP-580RA that is connected to the TP-580T. The IR sensor is connected to the
TP-580RA and an IR emitter is connected between the TP-580T and the Blu-ray disk player.
The Blu-ray disk player IR remote control sends an IR command signal while pointed at the
external IR sensor. The IR signal is passed over the HDBT link and the IR emitter to the Blu-
ray disk player which responds to the IR command signal sent.

Acquiring EDID
The EDID DIP-switch 1 determines the behavior of EDID on the device. For more information
about DIP-switch settings, see Setting the DIP-Switches on page 11.
Pass-Through Mode
In the pass-through mode (DIP-switch 1 set to off), the EDID of the HDMI connected acceptor
(a display in the Figure 6 examples) is automatically loaded to the TP-580RA.
The OUT LED flashes three times upon successful load of the designed EDID and then
resumes normal operation.
If the display is replaced, the TP-580RA captures the new EDID from the new display. Any
change in the output automatically changes the EDID that is stored in the TP-580RA.
When disconnecting the HDMI acceptor, the last EDID remains stored in the TP-580RA.
EDID Lock Mode
When in the Lock mode (DIP-switch 1 set to on), the current EDID is locked and remains
unchanged even if the display is replaced on the output.
When in the lock mode the audio pass-through operation is determined by the DIP-switch 3
audio setup.
You can connect a PC loaded with EDID Designer SW tool, to the micro USB port to
modify the EDID via the Kramer EDID Designer software.
Note that when using EDID Designer to modify the EDID (in the Lock mode), the DIP-switch
3 status is ignored.
Setting the Default EDID
You can set the TP-580RA to its EDID default value.
To set the default EDID:
1. Make sure the TP-580RA is set to the Pass-through mode.
2. Disconnect the output.
3. Set DIP-switch 1 to the Lock mode (on).
The default EDID is loaded and locked.

Extracting the Audio
You can extract the audio of the active traversing signal to the digital (S/PDIF) and analog
audio ports in one of two ways:
•Inputting the audio signal from HDBT IN.
•Inputting ARC (Audio Return Channel) signal from HDMI OUT.
To route an input HDMI audio received through HDBT IN from the transmitter:
•Set DIP-Switch 2 to Off (up).
HDBT input audio is extracted to both digital and analog audio ports (see Figure 5).
In parallel, the active signal keeps traversing transparently between the source and the
display.
Figure 5: Input audio signal from HDBT IN
To route an input audio-return signal received through HDMI OUT from the connected
display:
•Set DIP-Switch 2 to On (down).
HDMI-OUT input audio-return is extracted to both digital and analog audio ports,
(see Figure 6).
In parallel, the active signal keeps traversing transparently between the source and the
display.

Video Auto Shut-off Delay
The TP-580RA can be configured so that the 5V power on the HDMI output can automatically
be shut off after a specified delay when the TP-580RA is no longer receiving a video signal.
By default, once no video signal is detected for 5 minutes, the HDMI power is shut off. The
user can set the delay by configuring the AV-SW-TIMEOUT P3K command timeout from 1
second to 15 minutes (900 seconds), where 0 –never shut off. See Default Parameters
on page 16 for more details.
Once an active signal is again detected, the TP-580RA output 5V power is auto turned on.

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.
Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe ( '|')
character.
Message starting character
'#' –For host command/query
'~' –For device response
Device address (Optional, for K-NET)
K-NET Device ID followed by '@'
Query sign
'?' follows some commands to define a query request.
Message closing character
CR –For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)
CRLF –For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)
Command chain separator character
When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ( '|') character separates
each command.
Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.
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.
Command Forms
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow faster
typing. The response is always in long syntax.
