3 Overview
The TP-576is a twisted pair line driver for HDMI, bidirectional RS-232 and
infrared signals. The TP-576 receives an HDMI signal either from a local
HDMI source or from a transmitter (for example, the Kramer TP-573) via the
LINE IN RJ-45 connector. The TP-576 decodes these input signals to the local
outputs and simultaneously transmits them to a TP receiver (for example, the
TP-574) which converts them back to HDMI, RS-232 and infrared signals.
Using the TP-576, you can pass via the twisted pair cable:
•EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and HDCP signals
between the TP-573 and TP-574
•HPD (Hot Plug Detect) signals from the display device to the source
The TP-576 features:
•Up to 2.25Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel1
•An RS-232 baud rate of up to 38.4kbps
(1.65Gbps for the
twisted pair inputs and outputs)
•HDTV compatibility
•Bidirectional RS-232 and IR interfaces. The IR input/output transmits
and receives IR commands over CAT 5 cable2
•A system range
between the transmitter
and receiver 3
Use only shielded cables with the TP-576in which the cable Ground shielding
must be connected / soldered to the shield of both RJ-45 connectors
of up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 30m (98ft) at
1080p on shielded BC-DGKat524 cable; 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to
70m (230ft) at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat623 cable; 100m (330ft) at
1080i or up to 90m (295ft) at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat7a23 cable.

The TP-576 is 12V DC fed and is housed in a MegaTOOLS® enclosure
where two units can be rack mounted side-by-side 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; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24
AWG), the Kramer: BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the
Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built
cables significantly outperform regular CAT 5 / CAT 6 / CAT 7a cables.
Note: the TP-573 / TP-574 cannot work with unshielded cables.

3.3 Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID1
3.4 About the Power Connect™ Feature
) is a data-structure,
provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is
connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the TP-576 to
“know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID
includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing data
supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for digital
displays only) the pixel mapping data.
The Power Connect™ feature here means that the TP-576 unit can power
both the transmitter and receiver when they are within 270 feet (90 meters)
from the TP-576. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the cable
can carry power. The distance does not exceed 90 meters on standard CAT 5
cable, for longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used2
3.5 Recommendations for Best Performance
.
To achieve the best performance:
•Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and
elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position
your TP-576 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
1 Defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
2 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

5.3 Connecting an IR Emitter/Sensor
The TP-576 consists of an IR receiver and a REMOTE IR 3.5mm mini jack
connector that can connect to either an emitter or receiver.
In a transmitter-receiver configuration that includes, for example, the
TP-573 and TP-574, IR control behavior is determined by the IR items
(emitter or receiver) that are connected to the REMOTE IR or IR (for the
TP-573 and TP-574) 3.5mm mini jack connectors.
To control any device in this configuration, use the appropriate IR remote
control transmitter. For example, the Kramer remote controller will be able
to control Kramer devices. For controlling an LCD display you will need to
use the LCD remote controller unit, and so on.
Many IR control configurations are available; this section includes several
options:
Controlling the System via IR – Example I

5.5.1 Disabling/Enabling Deep Color Support
.
The EDID is now acquired.
You can disable EDID deep color support to prevent signal deterioration
when using long twisted pair cables on INPUT 2.
To disable deep color and acquire EDID:
1. Disconnect the power.
2. Connect the output or outputs from which you want to acquire the
EDID.
3. Connect the power while pressing the EDID SETUP button.
4. Perform steps 3 and 4 in section 5.5.
1 This is usually done only once, when the machine is being set up in an installation Once acquired, the EDID is saved in
non-volatile memory and further acquisition is not necessary
2 The TP-576 reads the EDID, which is stored in the non-volatile memory
3 The local output and the output on the transmitter
4 The EDID acquired is a weighted average of all the connected outputs For example, if several displays with different
resolutions are connected to the outputs, the acquired EDID supports all the resolutions, as well as other parameters included
in the EDID
5 If you set the machine to acquire the EDID from an output that is not connected, the Default EDID will be acquired

Default EDID
17
To enable deep color and acquire EDID:
1. Disconnect the power.
2. Connect the output or outputs from which you want to acquire the
EDID.
