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-583Txr 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 extender away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.
Safety Instructions
Caution:
•This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other
equipment that is installed inside a building.
•There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.
Warning:
•Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.
•To ensure continuous risk protection, replace fuses only according to the rating
specified on the product label which located on the bottom of the unit.

Overview
The devices described in this user manual are generally referred to as TP-583Txr (HDMI
Line Transmitter) and/or TP-583Rxr (HDMI Line Receiver) or generally an extender. A
device is named specifically only when a device-specific feature is described.
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer TP-583Txr, TP-583Rxr, TP-583T and/or
TP-583R.
TP-583Txr / TP-583Rxr are a high-performance, HDBaseT transmitter/receiver system for 4K
HDR HDMI™, RS-232 and IR signals over twisted pair.
TP-583Txr converts all input signals into the transmitted HDBaseT signal. TP-583Rxr
converts the HDBaseT signal and outputs it to its HDMI and control ports.
The extenders are compatible with standard HDBaseT-compliant extenders up to 4K@30Hz
(4:4:4) video resolutions.
TP-583Txr and TP-583Rxr extend video signals up to 100m (330ft) at 4K@60Hz (4:4:4)
video resolution, up to 180m (590ft) at 4K@30Hz (4:4:4), and up to 200m (650ft) at HD video
resolution over Kramer copper cables.
TP-583T and TP-583R extend video signals to up to 70m (230ft) at up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4)
video resolutions, over Kramer copper cables.
The extenders provide exceptional quality, advanced and user-friendly operation, and flexible
control.
Exceptional Quality
•High Performance Standard Extender –Professional HDBaseT extender for providing
long-reach signals over twisted-pair copper infrastructures. It employs low-level video
compression technology that delivers visually lossless performance for 4K@60 (4:4:4)
and HDR signals with near-zero latency. This high-quality compressed signal is
extended to almost double the extension reach of the uncompressed signal.
•I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – Intelligent EDID pass-through
algorithm that ensures plug and play operation for HDMI source and display systems.
•Multi-channel Audio Extension –Up to 32 channels of digital stereo uncompressed
signals for supporting studio-grade surround sound.

•HDMI Signal Extension –HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant. Supports HDR, deep
color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD,
DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0. EDID and CEC signals are passed
through from the source to the display.
Advanced and User-friendly Operation
•Future-proof, Standard Extender –Standard HDBaseT extender, backwards compatible
with other standard HDBT extenders. It extends either compressed or uncompressed
HDBaseT signal, by auto-adapting to the compression capabilities of its connected
extender. This enables it to be connected to any market-available HDBaseT-compliant
extension product.
•Intelligent Compression Handling –Automatically detects a standard HDBaseT extender
without compression and disables the compression to extend the signal in compliance
with the detected extender.
•Cost-Effective Maintenance –Status LED indicators for HDMI and HDBT ports facilitate
easy local maintenance and troubleshooting. Local firmware upgrade via RS-232
connection ensures lasting, field-proven deployment.
Flexible Connectivity
•Bidirectional RS-232 Extension –Serial interface data flows in both directions, providing
data transmission and device control.
•Bidirectional Infrared Extension –IR interface data flows in both directions, enabling
remote control of peripheral devices located at either end of the extended line.
•Easy Installation –Compact DigiTOOLS® fan-less enclosure for dropped-ceiling
mounting, or side-by-side mounting of 3 units in a 1U rack space with the recommended
rack adapter.
Typical Applications
TP-583Txr is ideal for the following typical applications:
•Long-distance AV signal extension for multi-room, large dividable auditoriums and
lecture hall connectivity.
•AV extension in conference rooms, boardrooms, control rooms, hotels and large church
facilities.

Connecting the extenders
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
HDMI Line Transmitter / HDMI Line Receiver. After connecting your
HDMI Line Transmitter / HDMI Line Receiver, connect its power and then switch on the
power to each device.
TP-583Txr / TP-583Rxr and TP-583T / TP-583R are connected in the same way.
Figure 3: Connecting the extenders
To connect the TP-583Txr and TP-583Rxr as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:
1. On TP-583Txr connect an HDMI source (for example, a Blu-ray player) to the HDMI IN
connector .
2. On TP-583Rxr connect the HDMI OUT connector to an HDMI acceptor (for example,
a display).
3. Connect the LINE RJ-45 connector on TP-583Txr to the LINE RJ-45 connector on
TP-583Rxr .
4. Extend RS-232 signals (for example, control the display via a room controller on the
transmitter side):
▪On TP-583Txr connect a controller (for example, SL-240C room controller) to the
RS-232 3-pin terminal block connector .
▪On TP-583Rxr connect the RS-232 3-pin terminal block connector to the RS-232
control port on the display.
5. Extend IR signals (for example, control the Blu-ray via its IR remote control transmitter
from the receiver side).
▪On TP-583Txr connect the IR 3.5mm mini jack to an IR emitter cable and
connect it to the Blu-ray IR sensor.
▪On TP-583Rxr connect the IR 3.5mm mini jack to an IR sensor (receiver) cable.

Connecting to an Extender via RS-232
You can connect to the extender (for example, TP-583Txr) via an RS-232 connection to a
room controller (for example, SL-240C with Kramer Control) to control a remote serially
controlled device that is connected to the other, paired, extender device.
Connect the RS-232 terminal block on the rear panel of the extender (for example,
TP-583Txr) to an RS-232 9-pin D-sub serial port on a laptop/controller, as follows:
•Pin 2 to the TX pin on the TP-583Txr RS-232
terminal block
•Pin 3 to the RX pin on the TP-583Txr RS-232
terminal block
•Pin 5 to the G pin on the TP-583Txr RS-232
terminal block
