ATTENTION!The receiver is PoE-compatible (Power over Ethernet,
can be powered remotely via using CATx cable) but the device can
only receive power and cannot send power other PoE-compatible
devices. Only the TPS connector is PoE-compatible, Ethernet port
cannot receive power.
The receiver is compatible with

environment, there is no need to invest in additional control solutions, which makes the receiver
the best choice for numerous applications.
Remote Power
The receiver is PoE-compatible and can be powered locally by the supplied power adaptor, or
remotely via the TPS connection (through the CATx cable) with a compatible power source
equipment, e.g. MMX6x2-HT series matrix switchers and TPS2 matrix boards.
RS-232 Bi-directional RS-232 Pass-through
AV systems can also contain serial port controllers and controlled devices. Serial port pass-
through supports any unit that works with standard RS-232.

Audio de-embedding
The receiver has built-in audio de-embedder what means the device is able to receive HDMI signal with
embedded audio via TPS line and can separate to video and audio signals on the output side.
ATTENTION!De-embedding function supports 2 channel PCM audio signals only. Other audio formats
are not supported and de-embedding will not be successful.

▪The Receiver transmits the digital audio signal together with the video signal to the HDTV.
▪The Receiver de-embeds the digital audio signal and converts it to analog one. It is transmitted to the
Audio amplier. So the HDTV provides the picture and Audio amplier provides the sound. In this case
digital audio on HDMI line needs to be muted.

Pass-through Mode
In pass-through mode, the given device forwards the data that is coming from one of its ports to another same
type of port. The command is not processed by the CPU. Incoming serial data is forwarded from TPS input port
to local RS-232 port and vica versa inside the receiver.

Control Mode
The incoming data from the given port is processed and interpreted by the CPU. The mode allows to control
the receiver directly. LW2 or LW3 protocol commands are accepted – depending on the current port setting.
Command Injection Mode
In this mode, the receiver works as an RS-232 bidirectional converter. The TPS signal is converted to RS-232

RS-232 Recognizer Example
When the HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus has an active video signal, the transmitter login the VC codec automatically.
In this case the RS-232 operation mode of the TPS receiver needs to be set to Control.
When the active signal appears on the TPS input port of the HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus, it triggers a

The RS-232 recognizer settings has to be done with Lightware Device Controller Software (see details
in see Message Recognizer section) or with LW3 protocol commands (see more information in RS-232
Recognizer section).
Create the following events in the Event Manager:
E1. When the signal is present on I1 port of the HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus, it sends a message 'PING' on P1
port of RS-232 to the VC codec. For more details see Sending a Message (ASCII-format) via Serial Port
section.
E2. Set a condition where Login name: is the recognized RS-232 message. Action is sending serial message
('Admin') on the P1 port to the VC codec.
E3. Set a condition where Password: is the recognized RS-232 message. Action is sending serial message
('Admin') on the P1 port to the VC codec.
For more information about setting the events, see Event Manager section.

IR Signal Transmission - Example
The Concept
An IR detector is attached to the Infrared input port of the Receiver and IR signals are sent by the Remote
controller. The Receiver is connected to a compatible Transmitter built with IR output port via TPS line. An
audio device is also connected to the audio output port of the receiver.

connector. The relays can be controlled by Lightware protocol commands (LW3) and Event manager actions
can be assigned to the port.
ATTENTION!The device built with normally open (N.O.) contact relays which means when the unit is not
powered (DC plug is disconnected), the relays will open.
The default state of each relay ports is open.
Application of Relays - Example
The Concept
Ceiling lamp is turned off by Relay 1 and projection screen is rolled down by Relay 2 when signal received
from the transmitter over TPS input line.

When Blu-ray player starts to play the presentation video, signal is received over TPS input line so Relay 1
opens which results turning off the lights, furthermore Relay 2 closes and the projection screen is rolled
down. When the presentation is ended, signal ceases on the TPS input line, so Relay 1 closes which results
turning on the lights, furthermore Relay 2 opens and projection screen returns to its enclosure.

HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus model is able to send and receive CEC commands, from the input ports towards
the source, and from output port towards the sink. For more information about sending CEC messages, see
Sending CEC Commands section.
CEC has a dedicated pin in the HDMI connector. DVI connector does not contain this pin, so the CEC
transmission brakes when HDMI-DVI connector or adapter is in the signal route.
CEC Application Example
When active signal is detected on TPS in, the transmitter sends a CEC message automatically to the HDTV
to wake up.

▪Set as a condition, that the signal is present on the output (O1),
▪Set as an action then send a CEC command 'Image view on' O1 output port.
See the details about the Event Manager settings in the Event Manager section.
ATTENTION!The CEC command sending over TPS interface is working only with CEC-transparent
TPS transmitters. For the details please download our Using CEC in Lightware Devices document on
