Kramer Electronics has introduced the TP-581T HDMI line transmitter, the TP-582T HDMI switcher/line transmitter, and the TP-582R HDMI DA/line receiver. The TP 581T and TP-582R are a twisted-pair transmitter and receiver for HDMI, 100BaseT Ethernet, bidirectional RS-232, and IR signals. The TP-581T converts HDMI, 100BaseT Ethernet, RS-232, and IR input signals to an HDBaseT twisted-pair signal. The TP-582R converts the HDBaseT signal back to HMDI, 100BaseT Ethernet, RS-232, and IR signals and provides dual HDMI outputs. The TP-582R also de-embeds the audio in the HDMI stream to an S/PDIF and TOSLINK digital audio output. The TP-582T differs from the TP-581T in that it has two HDMI inputs and can switch between the two inputs. The units support a maximum bandwidth of 6.75Gbps or 2.25Gbps per graphics channel. Each product features LED status indicators for input, output, link, and power. Price: $595 (TP-581T), $695 (TP-582T), $655 (TP-582R)
