TP-588D - Getting Started
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
Caution:
There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit
Warning:
Use only the Kramer Electronics power supply that is
provided with the unit
Warning:
Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall
before installing

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. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country go

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

TP-588D - Overview

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.

TP-588D - Overview
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.

5 Connecting the TP-588D
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to
your TP-588D. After connecting your TP-588D, connect its power
and then switch on the power to each device.
Figure 3: Connecting the TP-588D HDBT to DVI/HDMI Receiver
To connect the TP-588D, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:
1. Connect the HDBT Out RJ-45 connector on the transmitter, (for example,
the TP-580Txr, WP-5VH2, or SID-X2N) to the HDBT In RJ-45 connector on
the TP-588D using STP cable.
2. Connect the HDMI Out connector on the TP-588D to the HDMI acceptor, (for
example, a projector).

3. Connect the RS-232 Data 3-pin terminal block on the TP-588D to the
RS-232 controlled device, (for example, the projector).
4. Connect the Audio Out S/PDIF digital, RCA audio connector on the
TP-588D to the audio acceptor, (for example, an audio amplifier with
speakers).
5. If the device is not supplied power by a PoE provider, connect the power
adapter to the TP-588D and to the mains electricity, (not shown).
5.1 Connecting a Device to the TP-588D via RS-232
To connect a serial device to the TP-588D for data or control:
From the RS-232 9-pin D-sub serial port on the remote device connect:
Pin 5 to the GND pin on the TP-588D RS-232 terminal block
Pin 3 to the RX pin on the TP-588D RS-232 terminal block
Pin 2 to the TX pin on the TP-588D RS-232 terminal block

range function
Off—Disabled (up, default)
On—Enabled (down)
6.2 Locking the EDID
You can lock the current EDID to prevent the EDID from being updated
automatically when a new display is plugged in.
When the EDID is not locked:
Any new EDID is written to non-volatile memory and is preserved through a
power cycle
The EDID from the output is transferred to the input when the new acceptor
has a higher priority than the currently connected acceptor
The default EDID is used in any case where there is no valid EDID
When the EDID is locked a new EDID cannot override the locked EDID.
Note: Performing a factory reset overrides the EDID even when the EDID is locked.

TP-588D - Operating the TP-588D
To lock the current EDID:
Set DIP-switch 1 to ON
Note: When locking or unlocking the EDID the device must be rebooted.
