For resolutions above 1080p60 and up to 4K, they can transmit up to 131 feet (40 meters), according to Kramer.

The TP-580T and TP-580R support HDCP, 3D Pass-through, Deep Color, x.v.Color, CEC, Lip Sync, HDMI Uncompressed Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. They are each housed in a compact Kramer Tool enclosure and powered by the supplied 12v adapter.
