2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/TP-588D to check for up-to-date
user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are
available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your TP-588D away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
2.2 Safety Instructions

TP-588D - Overview
3 Overview
The high quality TP-588D HDBT to DVI/HDMI Receiver accepts an HDBaseT TP
(Twisted Pair) signal from a compatible Kramer HDBaseT transmitter and decodes
it into the following signals:
DVI
HDMI
S/PDIF, digital audio
Balanced, analog audio
IR
Ethernet
RS-232
Using the TP-588D you can also receive via the TP cable:
EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and DVI signals between the
TP-588D and the transmitter
HPD (Hot Plug Detect) signals from the display device to the source
The device is designed to be used in conjunction with any Kramer HDBaseT
switcher or transmitter, (for example, the TP-580TXR, the WP-5VH2, or the
SID-X2N).
The TP-588D features:
HDCP support
HDTV compatibility
4K support
Deep color (36bpp in normal range and 24bpp in ultra mode) support
3D support

Up to 130m (430ft) at normal mode (2K), up to 100m at normal mode (4K); up
to 180m (590ft) ultra mode (1080p @60Hz @24bpp) when using BC−HDKat6a
cables
I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – Intelligent EDID handling
& processing algorithm ensures Plug and Play operation for HDMI systems
Equalization and re-clocking of the data
Up to 10.2Gbps data rate (3.4Gbps per graphics channel)
Power over Ethernet receiver—the device can operate without a dedicated
power supply when connected to a device that provides PoE, (for example, the
PSE-2)
A MegaTOOLS® sized enclosure. Three devices can be mounted in a 1U rack
space using the optional RK-3T adapter
Lockable EDID
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our
digital twisted pair products; BC−HDKat6a (CAT 6 23 AWG cable) significantly
outperforms regular CAT 6 cables.
We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable
3.1 About HDBaseT™ Technology
HDBaseT™ is an advanced all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the
HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the ProAV –and also the home –
environment as a digital 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.
The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

3.2 About the Power over Ethernet Feature
Power over Ethernet passes electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling.
This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to
compatible devices.
