Kramer TP-581T HDMI, Bidirectional RS-232, Ethernet IR Over Twisted Pair Transmitter - TP-581T

Kramer TP-581T is a high-performance HDMI transmitter designed to send HDMI, RS-232, Ethernet, and IR signals over a single twisted-pair (Cat 5e/6) cable. It's primarily used in AV distribution systems, offering a solution for both video and control signals in long-distance installations. Here's a detailed description of its features:

Key Features:

. HDMI Support:The TP-581T transmits HDMI signals, supporting resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) for sharp, high-quality video. It ensures compatibility with a wide range of HDMI-enabled devices.

. Bidirectional RS-232:It allows control over RS-232 devices both from the transmitter and receiver end, enabling remote control of devices like projectors, screens, or other AV equipment.

. Ethernet Over TP:The TP-581T can send Ethernet signals, providing network connectivity for devices that need internet or local network access, such as networked media players or control systems.

. IR Control:Infrared signals are transmitted in both directions, allowing for remote control of AV equipment without the need for direct line-of-sight or separate IR emitters.

. Twisted-Pair Cable (Cat 5e/6):This device utilizes standard Cat 5e/6 twisted-pair cables for signal transmission, making it cost-effective and widely compatible with existing wiring infrastructures.

. Long Distance Transmission:With support for up to 100 meters (328 feet) at 1080p and up to 70 meters (230 feet) for 4K resolution, the TP-581T is designed for medium to large installations where long cable runs are required.

. EDID and HDCP Management:The device supports EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) pass-through, ensuring proper signal resolution negotiation between the source and display. It also handles HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), enabling the use of protected content.

. Compact Form Factor:The TP-581T is built in a small, rackmountable form factor, which helps save space and integrates seamlessly into professional AV setups.
