TP-780TXR/TP-780RXR - Overview
3 Overview
TP−780TXR and TP-780RXR are a high−performance, extended−reach HDBaseT
transmitter and receiver pair for HDMI (4K @60Hz 4:2:0), Ethernet, RS−232 and IR
signals over twisted pair. The TP−780TXR converts all input signals into an
HDBaseT signal that it transmits over twisted pair. The extended HDBaseT signal is
decoded by the receiver TP−780RXR, back to HDMI (4K @60Hz 4:2:0), Ethernet,
RS−232 and IR output signals. The TP-780TXR and the TP-780RXR can form a
transmission and reception system either together or each device separately with
another certified HDBaseT device.
The transmitter and receiver feature:
High Performance Standard Extender - High−quality professional extension
of max 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) 24bpp video resolution signal to maximum 100m
(330ft) extended−reach over CAT copper cable, and even further reach for
lower HD video resolution. Extender is standard, capable of being connected
to any market−available HDBaseT compliant extending products
HDMI Signal Transmission - HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant signal,
supporting deep color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, HDMI uncompressed audio
channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS−HD, CEC, Full HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D. EDID
and CEC signals are passed through from the source to the display.
Multi−channel Audio Transmission - Up to 32 channels of digital stereo
uncompressed signals for supporting surround sound at studio level.
Ethernet Transmission - Ethernet interface data flows in both directions to
allow extension of up to 100Mbps Ethernet connectivity for LAN
communication and device control.
Bidirectional RS−232 Transmission - Serial interface data flows in both
directions to allow data transmission and device control.
Bidirectional Infrared Transmission - IR interface data flows in both
directions to allow remote control of peripheral devices located at either end
of the extended line.
For optimum range and performance, use the recommended Kramer
cables available at www.kramerav.com/product/TP−780TXR.

Firmware Upgrade - Local transmitter upgrade via RS−232 control
connection and the K−Upload tool to ensure field−proven deployment.
LED Indicators - Status indicators for HDMI input and the HDBT output link
facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting.
Easy Installation - Single cable for transmitting HDBaseT signals and PoE to
the receiver. Compact Mega TOOLS™ fan−less enclosure for over−ceiling
mounting, or side−by−side mounting of 2 units in a 1U rack space with the
optional RK−T2B rack adapter.
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 consumer home environment as
a digital home 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 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (HDBaseT) passes electrical power along with data on
Ethernet cabling. This allows a single twisted pair cable to provide both a data
connection and electrical power to compatible devices. PoE is convenient, flexible
and safe requiring the use of fewer power outlets, simpler configuration and low
power connections over standard category cables. A 48V DC power supply
connects to the PoE transmitter and can power the PoE receiver up to a distance of
100 meters (330 feet). Beyond this range, a 12V DC power supply must be
connected to the PoE receiver.
The TP-780TXR is a PoE injector. It cannot receive power from
another PoE injector but only from a 48V DC power supply.

3.3 Using Twisted Pair Cable
For optimum range and performance, use the recommended Kramer cables
available at www.kramerav.com/product/TP-780TXR.
We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable.
