Overview

The TP−780T and TP−780R are a 4K UHD, twisted pair receiver and transmitter for HDMI, bidirectional RS−232 and IR signals. They support resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) UHD. The TP−780T converts HDMI, RS−232, and IR signals into a twisted pair signal that it transmits to a TP−780R receiver. The TP−780R converts the twisted pair signal back into HDMI, bidirectional RS−232 and IR signals. The  TP−780T and TP−780R support PoE (Power over HDBT). The TP-780T provides power remotely over HDBT to the TP-780R where it might be difficult to connect an external power supply. This allows a single HDBT LAN cable to provide both data and electrical power to compatible devices.
The TP-780T and the TP-780R can form a transmission and reception system either together or each device separately with another certified HDBaseT device.
The TP-780T/R transmitter and receiver feature:

• A data transfer rate of up to 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel)

• Resolution support of up to 4K @60Hz (4.2.0) UHD

• A range of up to 70m (230ft) at 2K, 40m (130ft) at 4K UHD resolutions.
  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.

• HDBaseT™ technology

• Power over HDBT that passes electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to compatible devices

• HDTV compatibility and HDCP compliance

• HDMI support for Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, HDMI Uncompressed Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS−HD, CEC.

• EDID pass-through, passes EDID/HDCP signals from the source to the display

• Bidirectional RS-232 & IR interface where commands and data can flow in both directions via the RS−232 interface, allowing status requests and remote control of the destination unit (see Section 4.1)

• LED status indicators for input selection, output, link and power

• Compact MegaTOOLS® enclosures, and these can be rack mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-T2B universal rack adapters

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.

About Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (HDBaseT) passes electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single twisted pair cable to provide both a data connection and electrical power to compatible devices. PoE is convenient, flexible and safe requiring the use of fewer power outlets, simpler configuration and low power connections over standard category cables. A 48V DC power supply connects to the PoE transmitter and can power the PoE receiver up to a distance of 100 meters (320 feet). Beyond this range, a 12V DC power supply must be connected to the PoE receiver.

CAUTION
The TP-780T is a PoE injector. It cannot receive power from another PoE injector but only from a 48V DC power supply.

Using Twisted Pair Cable
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products; the Kramer 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.

Connecting the TP-780T/R

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 TP-780T/R HDMI Line Transmitter/Receiver + POE to configure an HDMI transmitter/receiver system, as shown in the example in Figure 3.
To connect the TP-780T, connect the:

1. HDMI source (for example, a DVD player) to the HDMI IN connector.
2. RS-232 9-pin D-sub connector to a computer (for example, a laptop to control the projector).
3. IR 3.5mm mini jack to an IR emitter.
4. HDBT OUT RJ-45 connector over twisted pair to the HDBT IN connector. Alternatively, you can use any other certified HDBaseT receiver device (for example, the Kramer WP-580R)
5. 48V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).

To connect the TP-780R, connect the:

1. HDMI OUT connector to the HDMI acceptor (for example, a projector).

2. RS-232 9-pin D-sub connector to an RS-232 port (for example, a projector that is controlled by the laptop connected to TP-780T).

3. IR 3.5mm mini jack to an IR sensor.

4. HDBT IN RJ-45 connector over twisted pair to the TP-780T HDBT OUT connector.
   Alternatively, you can use any other certified HDBaseT transmitter device (for example, the Kramer WP-580T)

5. If the POE does not effectively power the TP-780R, connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).

Controlling AV Equipment via an IR Transmitter
Since the IR signal on the TP-780T/TP-780R transmitter/receiver pair is bidirectional, you can use a remote control transmitter (that is used for controlling a peripheral device, for example, a DVD player) to send commands (to the AV equipment) from either end of the transmitter /receiver system. To do so, you must use the Kramer external IR sensor on one end (P/N: 95-0104050) and the Kramer IR emitter cable on the other end (P/N: C-A35/IRE-10)
Two IR emitter extension cables are also available: a 15-meter and 20-meter cable.

The example in Figure 4 illustrates how to control the DVD player that is connected to TP-780T using a remote control, via the TP-780R. In this example, the external IR sensor is connected to the IR connector of the TP-780R and an IR emitter is connected between the TP-780T and the DVD player. The DVD remote control sends a command while pointing towards the external IR sensor. The IR signal passes through the TP cable and the IR emitter to the DVD player, which responds to the command sent. The example in Figure 5 illustrates how to control the LCD display that is connected to theTP-780R using a remote control, via theTP-780T. In this example, the external IR sensor is connected to the IR connector of the TP-780T and an IR emitter is connected between the TP-780R and the LCD display. The LCD display remote control sends a command while pointing towards the external IR sensor. The IR signal passes through the TP cable and the IR emitter to the LCD display, which responds to the command sent.

TP-780T/R – Connecting the TP-780T/R

Connecting to a PC
You can connect to the transmitter/receiver system via an RS-232 connection using, for example, a PC.
Note : A null-modem adapter/connection is not required.
To connect a PC via RS-232:

• Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the transmitter/receiver system unit via a 9-wire straight cable (only pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5 need to be connected) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC.

Figure 6 shows RS-232 bidirectional control of the projector that is connected to TP-780R, via a PC connected to the TP-780T:
