DVI-HDCP-TPS-TX95 and RX95
Quick Start Guide
Introduction
The DVI-HDCP-TPS-TX95 and DVI-HDCP-TPS-RX95 are DVI 1.0 and HDMI 1.4 compatible
long distance extenders. The units offer bi-directional RS-232, Infra-Red (IR), and Ethernet
pass-through all on the same CAT5e...CAT7* cable that carries the uncompressed HDMI
video and audio signal.
Typical standalone application - the transmitter and the receiver
Installation of a transmitter and a receiver
1. Power off all devices. (Installing with powered devices may harm them.)
2. Check the RS-232 switches (2) on the TX and RX; they must be in Normal position.
3. Set the desired TPS link mode with the TPS link mode switch (3) on the front of the units.
4. Set the desired TX remote power** mode with the jumpers on the right side of the TX.
5. Connect a CATx* cable to the TPS OUTPUT (7) on the TX.
6. Connect the video source and the desired accessory devices to the TX.
7. Set the desired RX remote power** mode with the jumpers on the right side of the RX.
8. Connect the other end of the CATx* cable to the TPS INPUT on the RX.
9. Connect the video sink and the desired RS-232, IR and Ethernet devices to the RX.
10.Supply the extenders with 12V 2A DC. If the remote power is enabled on both sides only one
local adaptor can be used. Else both units must be powered by local adaptors.
11.Supply the other connected units.
* CAT7 SFTP cable is always recommended.
** Never connect any third party device to the extender with remote powering.
Warning! The TPS remote powering must be used only with 95 series TPS extenders and
MX-TPS matrix boards. Using it with other devices may damage both units.
Warning! Do not connect any device to the TPS connector unless you are sure they are
compatible. Connecting incompatible devices with similar connectors may cause harm to
the devices.

Info: Transmitter and receiver have the same construction and connectors.
Remote power options
The TPS extenders can be powered remotely by its extender pair or a TPS matrix board. This
feature can be enabled or disabled with jumper settings. Switch off the extenders. On the
right side of the enclosure a small section (in the blue box) can be removed. Loose the
screws and remove the plate. Jumpers are under it. To enable the remote power function
place the jumper block onto all the pinheads. To disable it place the jumper block onto the
upper line pinheads only. In case of enabled remote power on both extenders the local
adaptor can be placed at any side. To better understand the remote power options see the
Figure 1 on the page 4.

Quick Start Guide
TPS link modes
▪HDBaseTTM (HDBT): more bandwidth (higher resolutions), shorter CATx cable length. If no
video present, the units change to LPPF mode automatically.
▪Long reach (LR): Longer CATx cable length, less bandwidth (limited resolution). The LPPF
mode is not available in LR TPS link mode.
▪Low power partial functionality (LPPF): Only Ethernet, RS-232 and IR are extended.
(For the available resolutions and lengths see Maximum cable lengths table below.)
Toggling between TPS link modes
Extenders have a toggle switch with two states: Auto and LR. If any unit has LR state both of
them switch into LR mode (go into LPPF mode is available only from HDBT mode). If both
units have Auto state and there is valid video signal on the transmitter the common mode
will be HDBT. If the video signal disappears devices go into LPPF mode.

Bi-directional pass-through data lines
The direction of the video extension is fixed from TX towards the RX but the pass-through
data lines are bi-directional. It means the RS-232, IR and Ethernet source and the sink
devices can be connected either to the TX or to the RX.
Ethernet
The Ethernet port on the RX or on the TX can be connected to a LAN hub, switch or router
with a LAN cable. The other side behaves as an Ethernet uplink port. Extenders support
10/100 Mbit/sec data transfer rate. The direct access is also supported with crosslink cable.
The Ethernet port has auto crossover function. It is able to recognize and handle both of the
cable types: patch and cross TP cables.
RS-232
Serial port pass-through supports any unit that works with standard RS-232. TX and RX
provide 9-pole D-sub female connector. Use straight-serial cable to connect a DTE device to
and an extender and use a cross serial cable in case of pairing a DCE device to a TPS
extender. The RS-232 options –the baud rate and the parity bits - are set on the third party
devices and it can be anything. The extenders support any kind of serial settings.
Info: Please read user’s manual of the RS-232 devices to know which type it is. The
extenders work as the DCE devices.
Infra-Red (IR)
One IR emitter and one detector are supplied with the TX and the RX. One emitter and one
detector is enough for controlling only one IR sink device. If there is an IR sink device to be
controlled next to the TX and the other one is next to the RX, two emitter-detector pairs* are
needed. The IR emitter and the detector have standard 3.5 mm TRS (jack) connectors. The
emitter’s plug has two poles (mono) and the detector’s one has three poles (stereo).

Quick Start Guide
Typical integrated application –the matrix I/O board and the extender
Remote power options
The TPS extenders can be powered remotely by the connected TPS matrix board or its
extender pair. This feature of the board can be enabled or disabled with jumper settings for
every port separately. Switch off the matrix. Remove the desired cards. Pinheads are behind
to the TPS connectors. To enable the remote powering function of the port place the jumper
block onto all the corresponding pinheads. Connect the external 12V DC 6,67A power
adaptor* to the card separately. Finally, set the extenders’ desired power modes with the
same method as it mentioned on the page 1. To disable the remote powering function for a
port remove the jumper block from the corresponding pinheads. To better understand the
remote power options see the Figure 1 on the page 4.
Info: For detailed instruction read the user’s manual of the MX-TPS cards.
Info: AWG 26 cables are not recommended with remote powering. (Reduce cable distances)

Installation of the extender with a matrix
1. Power off all devices. (Installing with powered devices may harm them.)
2. Check the RS-232 switch(es) (2) on the extender(s); they must be in Normal position.
3. The state of the TPS link mode switch makes no difference on the extender because the
connected board forces the extender to use the settings of the matrix.
4. Set the remote power** mode of the matrix boards with the jumpers on them.
Every port can be set for remote powering separately. To enable the remote power function
place the jumper block onto all the pinheads of the desired port. To disable it remove the
jumper block. For detailed information, see the user’s manual of the matrix.
5. Set the extenders’ remote power** mode with the same method as it mentioned in the
standalone case. To better understand the remote power options see the Figure 1 on the
page 4.
6. Pair the extender(s) and the matrix board(s) with CATx* cable(s). The transmitters’ TPS OUT
with the input boards’ TPS IN and the receivers’ TPS IN with the output boards’ TPS OUT.
7. Connect the video source(s), sink(s) and the desired accessory device(s) to the matrix.
(MX-TPS boards don’t support the IR pass-through)
8. Connect the video source(s), sink(s) and the desired accessory device(s) to the extenders.
9. Supply that matrix boards with 12V 6,67A DC which have ports with enabled remote
powering.
10.Supply the extenders with 12V 2A DC. If the remote power is disabled on the connected
matrix card’s port, local adaptor must be used for the extender.
11.Connect the power cord of the matrix into the outlet and switch on the matrix.
12.Supply the other connected units.
* CAT7 SFTP cable is always recommended.
** Never connect any third party device to the TPS boards or extenders with remote powering.
Warning! The TPS remote powering must be used only with 95 series TPS extenders and
MX-TPS matrix boards. Using it with other devices may damage both units.
Warning! Do not connect any device to the TPS connector unless you are sure they are
compatible. Connecting incompatible devices with similar connectors may cause harm to
the devices.
Maximum cable lengths between MX-TPS boards and extenders
The available cable lengths are the same as it mentioned on page 2.
TPS link modes
If an extender and a TPS matrix board are paired the board forces the extender to use the
settings of the matrix. The extender’s TPS mode switch has no effect.
