1. Introduction
Thank You for choosing Lightware UMX-TPS transmitter. The products have HDBaseTTM
integration with additional Lightware developments. UMX-TPS devices transmit universal
video at a resolution up to 4K, audio and control up to 170 m distance over a single CAT
cable. The transmitters are compatible with Lightware TPS matrix boards and other TPS
products.

1.2. Description
This transmitter was designed to extend digital and analog video signals (e.g. VGA, YPrPb,
HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.1) and audio signals (analog stereo audio from local inputs or
embedded 7.1 HBR audio). Video signals with HDCP encryption are also supported.
Analog signals (both audio and video) are converted to a digital format and can be
transmitted separately from each other.
Using the factory, custom or transparent EDID emulation the user can fix and lock EDID
data on each input connector. Advanced EDID Management forces the required resolution
from any video source and fixes the output format conforming to the system requirements.
The unit offers bi-directional and transparent IR, RS-232 and Ethernet transmission.
Furthermore, the IR and RS-232 connection supports command injection, allowing it to
send any IR or RS-232 control command directly from the LAN connection.
Remote powering (Power over Ethernet) is available through a single CAT cable, but local
power supply can also be used. The device can be mounted on a rack shelf or used
standalone. Due to Lightware’s attentive design UMX-TPS-TX100 series is compatible with
both the HDBaseTTM extenders and matrix switchers.

Page 10 / 92 Section 1. Introduction
1.3. Features
Certain features depend on the configuration of the model. For more information about the
models see section 1.4 on page 11.
3D and 4K support –High bandwidth allows extension of resolutions up to 4K and
even 3D sources and displays are supported.
Signal transmission up to 170 m –Video and audio signal transmission (DVI,
HDMI, VGA or DisplayPort, and Ethernet+RS-232+Infra-Red over a single
CAT5e…CAT7e cable.
Various audio and video connectors –DVI-I, HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort, Stereo
jack, PHOENIX 1x5 pole.
GPIO control port –7 GPIO pins operating at TTL digital signal levels and can be
controlled with both LW2 and LW3 commands.
HDCP compliant –UMX-TPS-TX100 series fulfils HDCP standard. HDCP can be
disabled when not protected content is extended.
Advanced EDID management –User can emulate any EDID on the input ports,
read out and store any monitor's EDID in the internal memory.
Pixel Accurate Reclocking –(removes jitter caused by long cables) The output
has a clean, jitter free signal, eliminating signal instability and distortion caused by
long cables or connector reflections.
Frame detector and signal analysis –Using Lightware Device Controller
software the exact video and audio signal format can be determined such as timing,
frequencies, scan mode, HDCP encryption, color range, color space and audio
sample rate.
Deep Color support and conversion –It is possible to transmit the highest quality
36-bit video streams for perfect color reproduction.
DVI/HDMI conversion –The transmitter is able to convert from HDMI to DVI
signals so that you can watch HDMI videos on your computer display without audio.
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.
Remote power –The transmitters are 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.
Locking DC connector –Special plug of wall adaptor ensures safe power supply.
This type of connector prevents unwanted extractions.
Separate Audio and Video switching –Video and audio signals are separated
and can be switched independently.
Analog Audio and Video A/D conversion –Analog audio and video signal is
converted to digital and placed it to the output.
Input (video & audio) status LEDs –Front panel LEDs give feedback about state
of the unit and the video and audio signals.
Accepts analog and digital audio signals - Accepts analog stereo; 5.1 S/PDIF
and even 7.1 HDMI embedded audio signals. Analog signals are converted to
digital formats and digital or digitized analog audio can be embedded in the video
stream.
Auto-switch function for video and audio inputs –Autoselect mode with or
without priority can toggles between inputs. It helps the handling of the transmitter
and installation of new devices.

transmitter is switched to Ethernet fallback mode automatically. TPS port is changed to
work as an Ethernet port, but to operate the transmitter this way is not recommended.

2.5.8. General purpose input/output ports (GPIO)
UMX-TPS-TX130 and UMX-TPS-TX140 have seven GPIO pins, which operates at TTL
digital signal levels and can be controlled with both LW3 and LW2 commands:
Output pin state can be set with a specific command.
Input pin state can be queried; a notification is sent from the device, if the state is
changed.
As a special function, GPIO pins would act the same way as video select, audio select and
show me buttons. As another special function video input can be selected directly with a
GPIO pin; e.g. if GPIO1 input is activated, VGA connector becomes the active input.

2.5.11. DC +12V connection
The device has a locking DC connector to establish robust and safe power connection.
After plugging it in, turn the plug clockwise as you can see in the picture below.
Figure 2-9. Locking DC connector
Do not forget to turn the connector counterclockwise before trying to disconnect the power
adaptor.
Warranty void if damage occurs due to use of a different power source.
Always use the supplied +12V power adaptor or Lightware’s rack mountable power supply.
2.5.1. IR connector
IR receiver and IR transmitter can be connected to the transmitter with TRS (Tip, Ring, and
