Overview

The high quality TP-588D HDBT to DVI/HDMI Receiver accepts an HDBaseT TP (Twisted Pair) signal from a compatible Kramer HDBaseT transmitter and decodes it into the following signals:

• DVI
• HDMI
• S/PDIF, digital audio
• Balanced, analog audio
• IR
• Ethernet
• RS-232

Using the TP-588D you can also receive via the TP cable:

• EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and DVI signals between the TP-588D and the transmitter
• HPD (Hot Plug Detect) signals from the display device to the source

The device is designed to be used in conjunction with any Kramer HDBaseT switcher or transmitter, (for example, the TP-580TXR, the WP-20, or the SID- X2N).

The TP-588D features:

• HDCP support

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products; BC−HDKat6a (CAT 6 23 AWG cable) significantly outperforms regular CAT 6 cables.

• We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable

About HDBaseT™ Technology
HDBaseT™ is an advanced all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the ProAV – and also the home – environment as a digital 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 the Power over Ethernet Feature
Power over Ethernet 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.

To connect the TP-588D, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:

1. Connect the HDBT Out RJ-45 connector on the transmitter, (for example, the TP-580Txr, WP-5VH2, or SID-X2N) to the HDBT In RJ-45 connector on the TP-588D using STP cable.
2. Connect the HDMI Out connector on the TP-588D to the HDMI acceptor, (for example, a projector).
3. Connect the RS-232 Data 3-pin terminal block on the TP-588D to the RS-232 controlled device, (for example, the projector).
4. Connect the Audio Out S/PDIF digital, RCA audio connector on the TP-588D to the audio acceptor, (for example, an audio amplifier with speakers).
5. If the device is not supplied power by a PoE provider, connect the power adapter to the TP-588D and to the mains electricity, (not shown).

Connecting a Device to the TP-588D via RS-232
To connect a serial device to the TP-588D for data or control:

• From the RS-232 9-pin D-sub serial port on the remote device connect:
  • Pin 5 to the GND pin on the TP-588D RS-232 terminal block

Connecting a Balanced/Unbalanced Stereo Audio Device
Figure 4 and Figure 5 illustrate how to connect a balanced and unbalanced stereo audio device to the Audio Out 5-pin terminal block.

Operating the TP-588D

The Setup 4-way DIP-switch
A DIP-switch that is up is off; a DIP-switch that is down is on. DIP- switches are off by default.

source is dictated by DIP-switch 2 (up, default)

On—EDID is locked (down)

2| EDID Priority| Determines from which input to read the EDID| Off—EDID is read from Output 1 HDMI (up, default)

On—EDID is read from Output 2 DVI (down)

3| Output Timeout Shutdown Enable| Enables and disables the output timeout shutdown when the input signal is lost| Off—Always on, no shutdown (up, default) On—5 minutes (down)
4| Extra Range| Enables/disables the extra range function| Off—Disabled (up, default) On—Enabled (down)

Locking the EDID
You can lock the current EDID to prevent the EDID from being updated automatically when a new display is plugged in.

When the EDID is not locked:

• Any new EDID is written to non-volatile memory and is preserved through a power cycle
• The EDID from the output is transferred to the input when the new acceptor has a higher priority than the currently connected acceptor
• The default EDID is used in any case where there is no valid EDID When the EDID is locked a new EDID cannot override the locked EDID.

Note: Performing a factory reset overrides the EDID even when the EDID is locked.

To lock the current EDID:

• Set DIP-switch 1 to ON

Note: When locking or unlocking the EDID the device must be rebooted.

Force RGB Mode

• The TP-588D can toggle between “Normal” and “Force RGB” modes, using the EDID-CS command (see Section 10.2).
• The default mode is “Force RGB”.

  • Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message starting character and ends with a message closing character.
  • Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe ( ‘|’ ) character.

• Message starting character

  • ‘#’ – For host command/query
  • ‘~’ – For device response

• Device ID (Optional, for K-NET)
  K-NET Device ID followed by ‘@’

• Query sign
  ‘?’ follows some commands to define a query request.

• Message closing character

  • CR – For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)
  • CRLF – For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)

• Command chain separator character

  • When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ( ‘|’ ) character separates each command.
  • Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.

Entering Commands

• You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial or Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key. ( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).
• For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.

Command Forms
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.

Chaining Commands

• Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character (“|”). When chaining commands, enter the message starting character and the message closing character only once, at the beginning of the string and at the end.
• Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered.
• A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.

Maximum String Length
