Kramer TP-594TXR 4K HDR HDMI Transmitter with Ethernet, RS-232, IR, ARC and Stereo Audio Routing Over PoE Extended-Reach HDBaseT 2.0

TP-594Txr is a high-performance , extended-reach HDBaseT 2.0 transmitter for 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) HDR, HDMI, Ethernet, RS-232, IR, ARC (Audio Return Channel) and stereo audio signals over twisted pair. TP-594Txr converts all input signals into the transmitted HDBaseT 2.0 signal and enables routing the received ARC signal to the HDMI input and to the digital/analog audio ports. It extends video signals to up 100m (330ft) over CAT copper cables at up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) 24bpp video resolution and provides even further reach for lower HD video resolutions. The analog port also enables embedding audio into the HDBaseT signal.

Key Features

• High Performance Standard Extender - Professional HDBaseT extender for providing extended-reach signals over twisted-pair copper infrastructures. TP-594Txr is a standard extender with backward HDBaseT compatibility, enabling it to be connected to any market-available HDBaseT-compliant extension product. It employs standard low-level video compression technology that delivers visually lossless performance for 4K@60 (4:4:4) and HDR signals with near-zero latency. For optimum extension reach and performance, use recommended Kramer cables.
  Future-Proof, Standard Extender - Standard HDBaseT extender, backwards compatible with other standard HDBaseT
• extenders. It extends either compressed or uncompressed HDBaseT signal, by auto-adapting to the compression capabilities of its connected extender. This enables it to be connected to any market-available HDBaseT-compliant extension product.
• Intelligent Compression Handling - Automatically detects the compression capabilities of a standard HDBaseT extender. Then, it either enables compression when the detected compression is compatible or disables compression when the detected compression is not compatible or when it detects that compression is not supported at all.
• HDMI Signal Extension - Supports HDCP 2.2, deep color, x.v.Color, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, CEC, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0.
• I-EDIDPro Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing - Intelligent EDID handling, processing and pass-through algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation for HDMI source and display systems.
• Multi-channel Audio Transmission - Up to 32 channels of digital stereo uncompressed signals for supporting studio-grade surround sound.
• Intelligent Source Forward Audio Routing - A balanced analog stereo audio port signal is converted into a digital signal and embedded into the transmitted HDMI signal, replacing the embedded HDMI audio input signal. This enables embedding a selectable audio source over HDMI. For example, a presenter can display a video clip and temporarily override the audio of the source media with another audio source, such as from a microphone.
  Audio Extension - Audio channels data flows in both directions, allowing extension of both, transmitter forward-audio channels and receiver return-channel, to peer connected devices.
• Intelligent ARC (Audio Return Channel) Routing - The HDBaseT-ARC signal is routed to the HDMI input and, in parallel, you can select to route the ARC signal to the digital output and/or analog audio bidirectional port. This enables you to play the audio on high-quality external speakers and control the volume using an IR remote control either via a receiver-side AV acceptor device (such as a display) or via a transmitter-side AV acceptor device (such as an AV Receiver with speakers).
• Built-in Intelligent Control Gateway - Remote IP-driven intelligent control of connected AV devices, via CEC (through the HDMI output) or RS-232/IR (through the corresponding output ports), using existing LAN or HDBaseT connectivity. Eliminating the need for an external control gateway, this feature reduces installation complexity and costs, to enable easy integration with control systems, such as Kramer Control.
• Ethernet Extension - Ethernet interface data flows in both directions, allowing extension of up to 100Mbps Ethernet connectivity for LAN communication and device control.
• Bidirectional RS-232 Extension - Serial interface data flows in both directions, allowing data transmission and device control.
• Bidirectional Infrared Extension - IR interface data flows in both directions, allowing remote control of peripheral devices located at either end of the extended line.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance - PoE, link, input detection and power LED indicators for HDMI and HDBT ports, remote web UI management and support, and RS-232 connection for local technician management and support, facilitate easy local maintenance and troubleshooting. Remote firmware upgrade via Ethernet or local via USB connection, ensure lasting, field-proven deployment.
• Easy and Elegant Installation - Single cable connectivity for both HDBaseT signals and power. Compact MegaTOOLS fan-less enclosure for dropped-ceiling mounting, or side-by-side mounting of 2 units in a 1U rack space with the recommended rack adapter.
