Kramer TP-580T – 4K60 HDMI HDBaseT Long-Range Transmitter with RS-232 & IR

The Kramer TP-580T is a high-performance HDBaseT transmitter designed to extend 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) HDMI signals along with bidirectional RS-232 and IR control over twisted-pair copper infrastructure. This makes it ideal for professional AV installations in boardrooms, auditoriums, hotels, and large meeting spaces where long-distance signal extension and remote equipment control are needed.

Extend HDMI and Control Signals Over Long Distances

The TP-580T uses HDBaseT 1.0 technology to transmit high-definition HDMI video up to 40 m at 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) and up to 70 m at 1080p over CAT cabling. It supports digital video and control signals together, reducing cable complexity while maintaining reliable performance.

Bidirectional RS-232 and IR for Remote Control

Equipped with bidirectional RS-232 and bidirectional IR interfaces, the unit allows both data and remote control commands to flow in both directions over the HDBaseT link, enabling seamless control of connected devices from either end of the system.

Modern HDMI Compatibility

Compliant with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, the transmitter supports deep color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, uncompressed HDMI audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and 3D video — delivering rich audiovisual performance in extended-distance installations.

Compact and Easy to Install

The compact DigiTOOLS® aluminum enclosure with convection cooling allows flexible installation — including ceiling or rack mounting with optional accessories — fitting well into professional AV deployments.

The Kramer TP-580T is a robust solution for extending HDMI video and control signals across large distances with professional reliability, making it suitable for enterprise AV systems and complex meeting space configurations.
