Overview

TP-580RA is a high-performance, long-reach HDBaseT™ receiver for 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) HDMI™, RS-232, IR and stereo audio signals over twisted pair that extracts (de-embeds) the stereo audio signal on its digital and analog audio ports. It extends video signals to up to 40m (130ft) over CAT copper cables at up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) 24bpp video resolution and provides even further reach for lower HD video resolutions.

• High Performance Standard Extender – Professional HDBaseT extender for providing long-reach signals over twisted-pair copper infrastructures. TP-580RA is a standard extender that can be connected to any market-available HDBaseT-compliant extension product. For optimum extension reach and performance, use recommended Kramer cables.
• HDMI Signal Extension – HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 1.4 compliant. Supports deep color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D. EDID and CEC signals are passed through from the source to the display.
• I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – Intelligent EDID handling, processing and pass-through algorithm that ensure 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.
• Audio Extraction (De-embedding) – According to auto-sensed signal attributes and per user selection, the transmitted digital audio signal or Audio Return Channel (ARC) signal, is extracted from the AV signal. In parallel to being transmitted to the HDMI AV output, this signal is transmitted to the stereo, digital audio output, and converted to an analog signal for transmission to the balanced stereo analog audio output. This enables high-quality audio playback by routing the audio to external speakers in parallel to routing to local speakers on the connected AV acceptor device (such as a TV or laptop).
• Bidirectional RS-232 Extension – Serial interface data flows in both directions, allowing data transmission and device control.
• Bidirectional Infrared Extension – IR interface data flows in both directions, allowing remote control of peripheral devices located at either end of the extended line.
• Easy 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.
• Easy Installation – Compact DigiTOOLS™ fan-less enclosure for dropped-ceiling mounting, or side-by-side mounting of 3 units in a 1U rack space. For a recommended rack adapter, see www.kramerav.com/product/TP-580RA.

Operating the TP-580RA HDMI Line Receiver

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 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 4 illustrates how to control a Blu-ray disk player using an IR remote control via the TP-580RA that is connected to the TP-580T. The IR sensor is connected to the TP-580RA and an IR emitter is connected between the TP-580T and the Blu-ray disk player. The Blu-ray disk player IR remote control sends an IR command signal while pointed at the external IR sensor. The IR signal is passed over the HDBT link and the IR emitter to the Blu-ray disk player which responds to the IR command signal sent.

Acquiring EDID

The EDID DIP-switch 1 determines the behavior of EDID on the device. For more information about DIP-switch settings, see Setting the DIP-Switches on page 11.

Pass-Through Mode

In the pass-through mode (DIP-switch 1 set to off), the EDID of the HDMI connected acceptor (a display in the Figure 6 examples) is automatically loaded to the TP-580RA.

The OUT LED flashes three times upon successful load of the designed EDID and then resumes normal operation.

If the display is replaced, the TP-580RA captures the new EDID from the new display. Any change in the output automatically changes the EDID that is stored in the TP-580RA.

When disconnecting the HDMI acceptor, the last EDID remains stored in the TP-580RA.

EDID Lock Mode

When in the Lock mode (DIP-switch 1 set to on), the current EDID is locked and remains unchanged even if the display is replaced on the output.

When in the lock mode the audio pass-through operation is determined by the DIP-switch 3 audio setup.

You can connect a PC loaded with EDID Designer SW tool, to the micro USB port ① to modify the EDID via the Kramer EDID Designer software.

Note that when using EDID Designer to modify the EDID (in the Lock mode), the DIP-switch 3 status is ignored.

Setting the Default EDID

You can set the TP-580RA to its EDID default value.

To set the default EDID:

1. Make sure the TP-580RA is set to the Pass-through mode.
2. Disconnect the output.
3. Set DIP-switch 1 to the Lock mode (on).

The default EDID is loaded and locked.

Extracting the Audio

You can extract the audio of the active traversing signal to the digital (S/PDIF) and analog audio ports in one of two ways:

• Inputting the audio signal from HDBT IN.
• Inputting ARC (Audio Return Channel) signal from HDMI OUT.

To route an input HDMI audio received through HDBT IN from the transmitter:

- Set DIP-Switch 2 to Off (up).

HDBT input audio is extracted to both digital and analog audio ports (see Figure 5).

In parallel, the active signal keeps traversing transparently between the source and the display.

Figure 5: Input audio signal from HDBT IN

To route an input audio-return signal received through HDMI OUT from the connected display:

- Set DIP-Switch 2 to On (down).

HDMI-OUT input audio-return is extracted to both digital and analog audio ports, (see Figure 6).

In parallel, the active signal keeps traversing transparently between the source and the display.

Configuring the TP-580RA HDMI Line Receiver

This section describes the following operations:

• Setting the DIP-Switches on page 11.
  • Video Auto Shut-off Delay on page 12.
  • Acquiring EDID on page 9.
  • Extracting the Audio on page 10.

Setting the DIP-Switches

A DIP-switch that is down is On, up is Off (by default, DIP-switch 6 is set to ON and all the other DIP-switches are set to OFF). Changes to DIP-switches 7 and 8 only take effect after power-cycling the device. Changes to DIP-switches 1 and 3 only take effect after unplugging and then replugging the input cable.

Figure 7: DIP-Switches

#	Function	Status
1	EDID lock	Off (up) – EDID parameters are passed-through.On (down) – EDID Locked. When EDID is locked, the audio parameters are set as defined by DIP-switch 3. In the pass-through mode, DIP-switch 3 setup is ignored.
2	Extracted audio	Off (up) – HDBT IN source audio is selected for extraction.On (down) – HDMI OUT ARC sink audio is selected for extraction.
3	Audio pass-through	Off (up) – Passes the audio parameters.On (down) – Limits the audio to 2-channel LPCM.This setup is enabled after unlocking and relocking the EDID by setting DIP-switch 1 to On (EDID locked).
4	HDCP operation	Off (up) – Passes HDCP.In this state, if the sink supports HDCP, the input declares HDCP support. It will then handle HDCP on the output and input actively. If the sink does not support HDCP then the input will declare HDCP is not supported.On (down) – HDCP off.In this state, the device does not support HDCP on its input, even if HDCP is detected on the output.
5	Color space	Off (up) – Color space parameters are passed-through.On (down) – Forces RGB color space.
6	RS-232 mode	Off (up) – RS-232 control of device; RS-232 extension mode is disabled.On (down) – RS-232 extension mode.
7	HDBT FW upgrade	Off (up) – Normal operation mode.On (down) – HDBT FW upgrade mode, device normal operation is disabled.This setup is enabled only after DIP-switch 6 is set to On (RS-232 extension mode).
8	CPU FW upgrade	Off (up) – Normal operation mode.On (down) – CPU FW upgrade mode, device normal operation is disabled; DIP-switch 6 is set to Off.

Video Auto Shut-off Delay

The TP-580RA can be configured so that the 5V power on the HDMI output can automatically be shut off after a specified delay when the TP-580RA is no longer receiving a video signal.

By default, once no video signal is detected for 5 minutes, the HDMI power is shut off. The user can set the delay by configuring the AV-SW-TIMEOUT P3K command timeout from 1 second to 15 minutes (900 seconds), where 0 – never shut off. See Default Parameters on page 16 for more details.

Once an active signal is again detected, the TP-580RA output 5V power is auto turned on.

Upgrading the Firmware

Use the Kramer K-UPLOAD software to upgrade the firmware via the TP-580RA PROG micro USB port ①, or via the RS-232 (when DIP-switch 6 set to Off (up position) allowing RS-232 to control/program the device).

The latest version of K-UPLOAD and installation instructions can be downloaded from our website at: www.kramerav.com/support/product_downloads.asp.

Note that in order to use the micro USB port, you need to install the Kramer USB driver, available at: www.kramerav.com/support/product_downloads.asp.

Protocol 3000

The HDMI Line Receiver can be operated using serial commands from a PC, remote controller or touch screen using the Kramer Protocol 3000.

This section describes:

• Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax on page 17).
• Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see Kramer Protocol 3000 Commands on page 20).

Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax

Host Message Format

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
#	Device_id@	Message	CR

Simple Command

Command string with only one command without addressing:

Start	Body	Delimiter
#	Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,...	CR

Command String

Formal syntax with commands concatenation and addressing:

Start	Address	Body	Delimiter
#	Device_id@	Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,...|Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,...|Command_3 Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,...|...	CR

Device Message Format

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
~	Device_id@	Message	CR LF

Device Long Response

Echoing command:

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
~	Device_id@	Command SP [Param1, Param2 ...] result	CR LF

CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)

LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)

SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)

Command Terms

Command

A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-'').

Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space.

Parameters

A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters ('0'-'9', 'A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.

Message string

Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message starting character and ends with a message closing character.

Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe ( '') character.

Message starting character

'#' – For host command/query

'\~' – For device response

Device address (Optional, for K-NET)

K-NET Device ID followed by '@'

Query sign

'?' follows some commands to define a query request.

Message closing character

CR – For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)

CRLF – For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)

Command chain separator character

When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ('|') character separates each command.

Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.

Entering Commands

You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial or Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key.

(LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).

For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.

Command Forms

Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.

Chaining Commands

Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character ("|"). When chaining commands, enter the message starting character and the message closing character only once, at the beginning of the string and at the end.

Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered.

A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.

Maximum String Length

64 characters
