TP-590Rxr - 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 http://www.kramerav.com/downloads/TP-590Rxr 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 neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
•Position your TP-590Rxr HDMI Line Receiver 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 power cord that is supplied with the unit
Warning:
Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the
wall before installing

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. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country
go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

TP-590Rxr - Overview
3 Overview
The TP-590Rxr HDMI Line Receiver is a high-performance, extended range,
HDBaseT-technology receiver for HDMI, USB, audio, bidirectional RS-232, and IR
signals. The TP-590Rxr converts an HDBaseT signal back into HDMI, USB, audio,
RS-232, and IR signals.
The TP-590Rxr can be used together with a compatible transmitter to form an
extended HDMI/data-line transmission and reception system.
The TP-590Rxr receiver features:
•A bandwidth of up to 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel) in normal
mode; up to 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel) in extended range
mode (in which the aggregate budget on the Auxiliary Channel is halved)
•System Range—Up to 130m (430ft) in normal mode and up to 180m (590ft)
in extended range mode (1080p @60Hz @24bpp) when using BC−HDKat6a
cables
For optimum range and performance, use Kramer's BC−HDKat6a or
equivalent cable. Note that the transmission range depends on the signal
resolution, source, and display used. The distance using non−Kramer
CAT 6 cable may not reach these ranges.
•Up to 4K UHD @60Hz (4:2:0) support in normal range mode
•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
•HDTV compatibility and HDCP compliance
•Support for HDBaseT V2
•HDMI support - HDMI (deep color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, HDMI
uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS−HD, CEC, 2K, 4K, 3D)
•USB pass-through for connecting a peripheral device, such as, a mouse or a
keyboard
•Support for isochronous USB cameras

TP-590Rxr – Overview

•Stereo, analog audio transmission
•EDID pass through, passes EDID signals from the source to the display
•Bidirectional RS-232 interfaces—data flows in both directions allowing data
transmission and control of devices
•Bidirectional infrared interface for remote control of peripheral devices (see
Section 6.2)
•Power over Ethernet—the receiver can receive power over the HDBT link
from a PoE compatible provider, (for example, the TP-590Txr)
•LED status indicators for input, output, HDBT link, and PoE
•Remote control using RS-232 or an Ethernet LAN
•MegaTOOLS®enclosures of which two can be rack-mounted in a 1U rack
space with the optional RK-T2B rack adapter
3.1 Using Twisted Pair Cable
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 5/CAT 6 cables.
We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable.
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.
