Step 1: Check what's in the box

WP-580Txr HDMI Line Transmitter and/or

WP-580Rxr HDMI Line Receiver

1 Quick start guide

Power adapter (5V DC) for each device

Save the original box and packaging materials in case you need to return your product for service.

Step 2: Mount the Transmitter and Receiver

Connect the TP cable between the WP-580Txr and WP-580Rxr and then mount them in suitable wall boxes.

Step 3: Connect inputs and outputs

For best results, we recommend that you always use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to the WP-580Txr and WP-580Rxr. For optimum range and performance use Kramer's BC-HDKat6a cable. Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. The distance using non-Kramer CAT 6 cable may not reach these ranges. Use only shielded cable where both ends of the shield are soldered to ground.

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 http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp 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 neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality
• Position your Kramer WP-580Txr and WP-580Rxr transmitter/receiver pair 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 input power wall adapter 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/.

3 Overview

The WP-580Txr and WP-580Rxr are a high-performance, extra range, HDBaseT technology Twisted Pair transmitter and receiver for HDMI signals.

The WP-580Txr converts the HDMI signal to a twisted pair signal.

The WP-580Rxr converts the twisted pair signal back into an HDMI signal.

The WP-580Txr and WP-580Rxr together form an extended transmission and reception system or can separately connect to other certified HDBaseT devices to form the transmission and reception system. For example, the transmitter and receiver system can be composed of WP-580Txr that connects to the Kramer WP-580Rxr to form a transmitter / receiver pair.

The WP-580Txr and WP-580Rxr transmitter/receiver pair features:

• A bandwidth of up to 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel) in normal mode; up to 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel) in ultra mode
• System Range - Up to 130m (430ft) normal mode; up to 180m (590ft) ultra mode (1080p @60Hz @24bpp) when using BC-HDKat6a cables

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.

• 2K and 4K support in normal mode
- HDBaseT™ technology
• HDTV compatibility and HDCP compliance
- HDMI support - HDMI (deep color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, CEC, 2K, 4K, 3D)
- 3D pass through
• EDID pass-through -passes EDID/HDCP signals from the source to the display
• LED status indicators for power
• Wall plate size of 2 gang EU/US/Decora®

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 Using Twisted Pair Cable

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products; 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.

6 Connecting the WP-580Txr and WP-580Rxr

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 WP-580Txr HDMI Line Transmitter and the WP-580Rxr HDMI Line Receiver to configure an HDMI transmitter/receiver system, as illustrated in the example in Figure 5.

To connect the WP-580Txr, connect the:

1. HDMI source (for example, a DVD player) to the HDMI IN connector.
2. HDBT OUT RJ-45 connector over twisted pair to the WP-580Rxr HDBT IN connector.
   Alternatively, you can use any other certified HDBaseT receiver device (for example, the Kramer TP-580Rxr)
3. 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 5).

To connect the WP-580Rxr, connect the:

1. HDMI OUT connector to the HDMI acceptor (for example, a display).
2. HDBT IN RJ-45 connector over twisted pair to the WP-580Txr HDBT OUT connector.
   Alternatively, you can use any other certified HDBaseT transmitter device (for example, the Kramer TP-580Txr)
3. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 5).
