- Extended 4K reach over CAT cable: The TP-580Rxr extends HDMI signals over twisted pair CAT copper cables up to 100 meters (330 feet), delivering stable 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) 24bpp video to the display. This long-range capability makes it ideal for large venues, classroom setups, and multi-room installations where source devices cannot be placed near the display.
- HDBaseT receiver with multi-signal support: This receiver is built to carry HDMI video and audio, along with RS-232 and IR control signals, over a single cable. By consolidating video, control, and power-management signals, it reduces cable clutter and simplifies installation in aesthetically sensitive environments such as boardrooms or auditoriums.
- High-quality video at enterprise-friendly resolutions: The TP-580Rxr supports up to 4K at 60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma sampling, ensuring smooth, artifact-free images for digital signage, presentations, and high-definition media playback. The 24bpp color depth provides rich color without compromising performance in professional deployments.
- Flexible integration for control systems: With RS-232 and IR passthrough, you can manage the source and display devices from the remote end. This makes it ideal for centralized AV control systems and classrooms where instructors or technicians need seamless, uninterrupted access to connected equipment.
- Professional-grade reliability for varied environments: Designed for permanent installations in corporate, educational, and entertainment spaces, the TP-580Rxr features rugged construction and a form factor suited to rack-mount or shelf-based setups, ensuring dependable performance even in demanding environments.

How to install Kramer DigiTOOLS TP-580Rxr Video Extender Receiver
- Step 1: Plan the installation layout. Decide the locations for the TP-580Rxr receiver near the display and the corresponding TX unit near the source. Ensure there is a clear path for the CAT cable run and access to power outlets.
- Step 2: Connect the display. Use an HDMI cable to connect the receiver’s HDMI output to the display or projector. Verify that the display supports the intended resolution (up to 4K@60Hz) and that the input source is set correctly.
- Step 3: Prepare the control path. If RS-232 control is required, connect the RS-232 control lines between the receiver and the control system or display equipment as specified in the installation manual. Attach IR emitters/receivers if you are implementing IR control passthrough.
- Step 4: Link the transmitter and receiver. Run a CAT cable from the TP-580Rxr receiver to the corresponding TP-580Tx transmitter. Ensure the cable is rated for HDBaseT use and maintains the required length without excessive bends or interference.
- Step 5: Power up. Connect power adapters to both the transmitter and receiver (or use any recommended PoE solution if the system supports it). Turn on the source device, the transmitter, and then the display. Check for a stable video signal and confirm the RS-232/IR control paths operate as expected.
- Step 6: Configure EDID and control settings as needed. If your installation requires specific EDID behavior or control routing, access the system setup through the control processor or the projector/display’s native menus to align timing, color space, and resolutions.
- Step 7: Test in real-world scenarios. Validate 4K playback, color accuracy, and latency under working conditions. Confirm that external controls respond reliably and that any IR commands are properly relayed to the source.
