3 Overview 

The

TP-573

 and 

TP-574

 are a twisted pair transmitter and receiver for 

HDMI, bidirectional RS-232 and infrared signals. The 

TP-573

 converts the 

input signals to a twisted pair signal and the 

TP-574

 converts it back to 

HDMI, RS-232 and infrared signals. 

Using the 

TP-573

 and 

TP-574

, you can pass via the twisted pair cable: 

x

EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and HDCP signals 

between the 

TP-573

 and 

TP-574

, and vice versa between the 

TP-574

and

TP-573

x

HPD (Hot Plug Detect) signals from the display device to the source 

The transmitter / receiver pair feature: 

x

A maximum data rate of 1.65Gbps 

x

Bidirectional RS-232 and IR interfaces. The IR input/output transmits 

and receives IR commands over CAT 5 cable

1

x

An RS-232 baud rate of up to 38400kbps 

x

HDTV compatibility 

x

A system range

2

 of up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 30m (98ft) at 

1080p on shielded 

BC-DGKat524

 cable; 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 

70m (230ft) at 1080p on shielded 

BC-DGKat623

 cable; 100m (330ft) at 

1080i or up to 90m (295ft) at 1080p on shielded 

BC-DGKat7a23

 cable. 

Note, use only shielded cables with the 

TP-573 / TP-574

, in which the 

cable Ground shielding must be connected / soldered to the shield of 
both RJ-45 connectors 

x

Power save, the 

TP-573 / TP-574

 system goes into standby mode when 

the HDMI input is not connected 

x

The Power Connect System™ – a single connection to the transmitter 

powers both units 

x

A compact DigiTOOLS

®

 enclosure where three units can be rack mounted 

side-by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional 

RK-3T

 rack adapter 

                                                       

1 Compatible with a Kramer transmitter and via a Kramer external remote receiver: C-A35M/IRR or C-A35M/IRE or 

C-A35M/2IRE 

2 Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. The distance using non-

Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables may not reach these ranges
