Figure 2: Connecting to the TP-580CT
To connect TP-580CT as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:
1. Connect a USB-C source (for example, a laptop) to the USB-C port on the front
panel.
The USB-C port can provide power to the connected source or power the TP-580CT
(see Powering TP-580CT on page 8).
2. Connect the HDBT OUT port on the TP-580CT to the HDBT IN port on the receiver
side (for example, Kramer TP-580R).
3. On the receiver side (TP-580R in this example) connect an acceptor (for example, a
display that is connected to the HDMI OUT connector).
4. Control the display on the receiver side:
▪ Connect a room controller (for example, Kramer SL-240C) to the RS-232 3-pin
terminal block connector .
The display on the receiver side can be controlled by sending serial commands from
the controller via HDBT to the display.
▪ Connect an IR sensor to the IR 3.5mm mini jack .
The display on the receiver side can be controlled by pointing the display IR remote-
control transmitter to the IR sensor. The IR signal passes, via HDBT to an IR emitter
that is connected to the display.
5. Connect the power adapter to TP-580CT and to the mains electricity.
