Introduction
Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world
of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the
video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we
have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!
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-580TD to check for up-to-date user manuals,
application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
Achieving 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 Kramer TP‑580TD and TP‑580RD 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.

TP‑580TD, TP‑580RD – Connecting the TP‑580TD, TP‑580RD DVI Line Transmitter / Receiver 6
Connecting the TP‑580TD, TP‑
580RD DVI Line Transmitter /
Receiver
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your transmitter and
receiver. After connecting your transmitter and receiver, connect their power and then
switch on the power to each device.
You can use the TP‑580TD DVI Line Transmitter and the TP‑580RD DVI Line Receiver to
configure an DVI transmitter/receiver system, as shown in the example in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Connecting the TP‑580TD, TP‑580RD DVI Line Transmitter / Receiver
To connect the TP‑580TD, TP‑580RD DVI Line Transmitter / Receiver:
1. Connect a DVI source (for example, a Blu-ray player) to the DVI IN connector.
2. Connect the DVI OUT connector to the DVI acceptor, (for example, a display).
3. On the TP‑580TD, connect the RS-232 3-pin terminal block connector to the RS-232
port of a controller device (for example, the Kramer SL-240C).
4. On the TP‑580RD, connect the RS-232 3-pin terminal block to the device to be
controlled, (for example, a display that is controlled by SL-240C which is connected to
TP‑580TD).
5. On the TP‑580TD, connect the IR 3.5mm mini jack to an IR emitter that is connected to
the IR-controlled device (for example, a Blu-ray player).
6. On the TP‑580RD, connect the 3.5mm mini jack to an IR sensor.
7. Connect the supplied power adapters to the power sockets of the TP‑580TD and
TP‑580RD, and plug the adapters into the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).

Controlling A/V Equipment via an IR Remote Control
You can use an IR remote-control transmitter (that is used for controlling a peripheral device,
for example, a Blu-ray disk player) to send commands from the receiver system to the
transmitter or to send commands from the transmitter system to the receiver. To use an IR
remote-control transmitter, connect the Kramer IR sensor cable at one end, and the Kramer
IR emitter cable at the other end.
The example in Figure 3illustrates how to control a Blu-ray player that is connected to the
TP‑580TD using a remote control located on the TP‑580RD side. An IR sensor is connected
to the TP‑580RD and an IR emitter is connected between the TP‑580TD and the Blu-ray
player. The Blu-ray remote control sends a command while pointed at the external IR sensor.
The IR signal is passed over the HDBT link and the IR emitter connected to the Blu-ray player
responds to the command sent.
