Kramer TP-580TXR – Dual HDBaseT Transmitter/Receiver for Long-Range HDMI 4K60 & Bidirectional Control

The Kramer TP-580TXR is a versatile HDBaseT transmitter/receiver designed to extend HDMI 4K@60Hz signals along with bidirectional RS-232 and IR control over a single twisted pair cable. Operating in both transmit and receive modes, TP-580TXR simplifies AV signal distribution and device control across long distances for conference rooms, auditoriums, control centers, and enterprise AV installations.

Single-Cable AV & Control Extension

Using HDBaseT 1.0 technology, the unit supports transmission of HDMI video plus control signals up to:

• 40 m at 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) (CAT6a/7)

• 70 m at 1080p60 over standard copper cabling
  This reduces cable costs while maintaining reliable signal performance.

Compatibility with Modern HDMI Standards

TP-580TXR complies with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, and supports features such as deep color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, uncompressed HDMI audio, and up to 32 channels of digital audio — delivering professional-grade AV extension.

Bidirectional Control Support

With bidirectional RS-232 and infrared (IR) capabilities over HDBaseT, TP-580TXR allows remote control of connected devices such as players, displays, and receivers from either end of the HDBaseT link.

Compact Design & Flexible Deployment

Housed in a fan-less DigiTOOLS® aluminum enclosure, TP-580TXR can be mounted on walls, ceilings or racks (with optional accessories), making it ideal for flexible deployment in professional AV projects.

The Kramer TP-580TXR offers a complete solution for long-distance HDMI and control signal extension, ideal for enterprise AV, boardrooms, auditoriums, and control rooms.
