Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer TP-780T/R transmitter/receiver pair,
which is ideal for the following typical applications:
•Projection systems in conference rooms, boardrooms, auditoriums, hotels
and churches, production studios
•Rental and staging
Note that TP-780T and TP-780R are purchased separately, and can
be connected to other HDBaseT certified transmitters and receivers,
respectively.

2 TP-780T/R - 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 www.kramerav.com/downloads/TP-780T 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 neighbouring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality
•Position your TP-780T/R 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 Kramer Electronics power supply that is
provided 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/.

4 TP-780T/R - Overview
3 Overview
The TP−780T and TP−780R are a 4K UHD, twisted pair receiver and transmitter for
HDMI, bidirectional RS−232 and IR signals. They support resolutions up to
4K@60Hz (4:2:0) UHD. The TP−780T converts HDMI, RS−232, and IR signals into
a twisted pair signal that it transmits to a TP−780R receiver. The TP−780R converts
the twisted pair signal back into HDMI, bidirectional RS−232 and IR signals. The
TP−780T and TP−780R support PoE (Power over HDBT). The TP-780T provides
power remotely over HDBT to the TP-780Rwhere it might be difficult to connect an
external power supply. This allows a single HDBT LAN cable to provide both data
and electrical power to compatible devices.
The TP-780T and the TP-780Rcan form a transmission and reception system
either together or each device separately with another certified HDBaseT device.
The TP-780T/R transmitter and receiver feature:
•A data transfer rate of up to 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel)
•Resolution support of up to 4K @60Hz (4.2.0) UHD
•A range of up to 70m (230ft) at 2K, 40m (130ft) at 4K UHD resolutions.
For optimum range and performance using HDBaseT™, use
Kramer's BC−HDKat6a 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.
•HDBaseT™ technology
•Power over HDBT that 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
•HDTV compatibility and HDCP compliance
•HDMI support for Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, HDMI Uncompressed
Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS−HD, CEC.

TP-780T/R - Overview 5
•EDID pass through, passes EDID/HDCP signals from the source to the
display
•Bidirectional RS-232 & IR interface where commands and data can flow in
both directions via the RS−232 interface, allowing status requests and
remote control of the destination unit (see Section 4.1)
•LED status indicators for input selection, output, link and power
•Compact MegaTOOLS® enclosures, and these can be rack mounted side-
by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-T2B universal rack adapters
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 (320 feet). Beyond this range, a 12V DC power supply must be
connected to the PoE receiver.
The TP-780T 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
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our
digital twisted pair products; the Kramer 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.
