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).

Wiring the HDBT RJ 45 Connectors

This section defines the HDBT line pinout, using a straight pin-to-pin cable with RJ 45 connectors.

Note, For HDBT cables, it is recommended that the cable ground shielding be connected/soldered to the connector shield.

Two electronic connectors shown: a gray connector with cable and a black-and-white package labeled 12345678 (no text or symbols on the device itself)

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 3 illustrates 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.

Connecting to TP-580TD, TP-580RD via RS-232

The TP-580TD and TP-580RD each feature an RS-232 3-pin terminal block connector that can be used to:

• Extend serial communication data between serial-enabled devices that are connected to the TP-580TD and TP-580RD.
• Upgrade the firmware of the TP-580TD and/or TP-580RD using a Laptop, PC, or other serial-enabled controller devices.

Connect the RS-232 terminal block on the rear panel of the TP-580TD, TP-580RD to a PC/controller, as follows (see Figure 4):

• TX pin to Pin 2
• RX pin to Pin 3
• GND pin to Pin 5
