1. Introduction
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Lightware HDMI-OPT series transmitters and receivers.
HDMI-OPT-TX200R/100R/100 and HDMI-OPT-RX200R/100R/100 are HDMI over
Multimode Fiber Cable extenders which allow deep color video signals of up to
2048x1080@60Hz resolution to be transmitted through 2600 meters of high quality fiber
cables.

User's manual (this document)
Quick Start Guide
+5V wall plug adaptor
2.2. Transmitter features (HDMI-OPT-TX200R/TX100R/TX100)
Supports all HDTV resolutions –720p, 1080i and 1080p etc. with or without HDCP
encoding. Signals with up to 225 MHz pixel clock frequency -
regardless of the resolution - are passed through.
HDCP compliant –The HDMI-OPT extenders support HDCP encrypted HDMI signal
transmission.
Cross compatibility with any Lightware Fiber Optical device –Cross compatibility
between all the devices in the product series is ensured thanks to
Lightware’s attentive design. Any transmitter can be paired with any
receiver without restriction. With Lightware’s hybrid modular matrix
concept, it is even possible to connect an extender box directly to the
matrix router using an MX-HDMI-OPT series input or output board
(MX-HDMI-OPT-IB or MX-HDMI-OPT-OB).
Front panel control –EDID address selection with two decimal rotary switches and
LEARN button are available for Advanced EDID Management. On the
HDMI-OPT-TX200R and TX100R the BAUD RATE rotary switch
allows selecting the appropriate speed of serial communication.
RS-232 control (TX200R and TX100R) - The HDMI-OPT-TX200R and TX100R are
controllable via the Lightware Matrix Controller PC software.
Advanced EDID Management and firmware upgrades are available.
Advanced EDID Management (TX200R and TX100R) –The user can emulate any
EDID on the TX200R/TX100R’s input. TX200R can read out and store
any display device’s EDID (attached to the local HDMI output, called
MONITOR OUT) in 49 internal memory locations. Green and red
EDID status LEDs show whether a valid address is selected.
Pixel Accurate Reclocking –(removes jitter caused by long cables) Each output has
a clean, jitter free signal, eliminating signal instability and distortion
caused by long cables or connector reflections.
Bi-directional RS-232 pass-through (TX200R and TX100R) –AV systems can also
contain serial port controllers and controlled devices. Serial port pass-
through supports any unit that works with standard RS-232.

Page 8 / 60 Section 2. General description
Universal power adaptor –HDMI-OPT transmitters are equipped with a universal
+5V DC power adaptor, which accepts AC voltages from 100 to 240
Volts with 50 or 60 Hz line frequency.
Locking DC connector –Special plug of wall adaptor ensures safe power supply.
This type of connector prevents unwanted extractions.

2.5. Understanding EDID
2.5.1. Basics
EDID stands for Extended Display Identification Data. Simply put, EDID is the passport of
display devices (monitors, TV sets, projectors). It contains information about the display’s
capabilities, such as supported resolutions, refresh rates (these are called Detailed
Timings), the type and manufacturer of the display device, etc.
After connecting a HDMI source to a HDMI display, the source reads out the EDID to
determine the resolution and refresh rate of the image to be transmitted.
Figure 2-5. EDID communication
Most DVI computer displays have 128-byte long EDID structure. However, Digital
Televisions and HDMI capable displays may have another 128 bytes, which is called E-
EDID and defined by CEA (Consumer Electronics Association). This extension contains
information about additional Detailed Timings, audio capabilities, speaker allocation and
HDMI capabilities. It is important to know, that all HDMI capable devices must have CEA
extension, but not all devices which have the extension are HDMI capable.
2.5.2. Common problems related to EDID
Problem: „My system consists of the following: a Blu-Ray player, then a Lightware
HDMI-OPT-TX200R, a WUXGA (1920x1200) LCD as local monitor, then a
HDMI-OPT-RX200R connected to an SXGA (1280x1024) projector and an
UXGA (1600x1200) monitor. I would like to see the same image on the
monitors and the projector. What EDID should I chose on the
HDMI-OPT-TX200R?” See typical application in section 2.4.
Solution: If you want to see the image on all three displays, you need to select the
resolution of the smallest display (in this case SXGA), otherwise the smaller
display may not show the higher resolution image.

HDMI-OPT-TX and RX family
User’s Manual
Section 2. General description Page 11 / 60
Problem: „I turned the rotary switches on the HDMI-OPT-TX200R to have a different
resolution but nothing happens.”
Solution: Some graphics cards and video sources read out the EDID only after power-
up and later they don’t sense that EDID has been changed. You need to
restart your source to make it read out the EDID again.
Problem: „I have a HDMI-OPT-TX200R and I’m using a Lightware factory preset EDID. I
would like to be able to choose from different resolutions, but my source
allows only one resolution.”
Solution: Most Lightware factory preset EDIDs allow only one resolution, forcing the
sources to output only that particular signal. You need to select the Universal
EDID (address #49). It supports all common VESA resolutions. Additionally it
also features audio support.
2.6. Advanced EDID Management
Each HDMI sink (e.g. monitors, projectors, plasma displays, and switcher inputs) must
support the EDID data structure. Source BIOS and operating systems are likely to query
the sink using DDC2B protocol to determine what pixel formats and interface are
supported. HDMI standard makes use of EDID data structure for the identification of the
monitor type and capabilities. Most HDMI sources (VGA cards, set top boxes, etc.) will
output HDMI signal after accepting the connected sink’s EDID information. In case of
EDID readout failure or missing EDID the source will not output HDMI video signal.
HDMI-OPT-TX200R and TX100R provide Lightware’s Advanced EDID Management
function that helps system integration.
TX100R stores and emulates 99 EDIDs. TX200R stores and emulates 99 EDIDs plus the
EDIDs of the display devices which connected to local HDMI output, called MONITOR
OUT. Memory addresses #01..#50 are factory presets, while memories #51..#99 are user
programmable in the case of both transmitters.
The EDID emulated on the HDMI input can be copied from the TX200R/TX100R’s
memory (static EDID emulation) or from the last attached monitor (dynamic EDID
emulation) in case of TX200R. For example, the HDMI-OPT-TX200R can be set up to
emulate the device, which is connected to local HDMI output, and the EDID automatically
changes, if the monitor is replaced with another display device (as long as it has a valid
EDID).
Info The user is not required to disconnect the HDMI cable to change an EDID as opposed to
other manufacturer’s products. EDID can be changed even if a source is connected to the
input and it is powered ON.
Info When EDID has been changed, TX200R/TX100R/TX100 toggles the HOTPLUG signal
for 2 seconds. Some sources do not observe this signal, so in this case the change is not
recognized by the source. In such cases the source device must be restarted or powered
OFF and ON again.
2.7. Pixel Accurate Reclocking
Signal reclocking is an essential important procedure in digital signal transmission. After
passing the reclocking circuit, the signal becomes stable and jitter-free, and can be
transmitted over more equipment like processors, or event controllers. Without reclocking,
sparkles, noise and jaggies can be seen on the image.
Lightware’s sophisticated Pixel Accurate Reclocking technology fixes more problems than
general TMDS reclocking. It removes not only intra-pair skew but inter-pair skew as well.
The Pixel Accurate Reclocking circuit eliminates the following errors:

Page 12 / 60 Section 2. General description
Intra-pair skew: skew between the + and - wires within a differential wire pair (e.g.
Data2- and Data2+). It’s caused by different wire lengths or slightly
different wire construction (impedance mismatch) in HDMI cable. It
results in jitter.
Inter-pair skew: skew between two differential wire pairs in a cable. It’s caused by
different wire pair lengths or different number of twists in the HDMI
cable. Too much inter-pair skew results in color shift in the picture or
sync loss.
Jitter: signal instability in the time domain. The time difference between two
signal transitions should be a fixed value, but noise and other effects
cause variations.
Noise: electromagnetic interference between other electronic devices such as
mobile phones, motors, etc. and the HDMI cable are coupled onto the
signal. Too much noise results in increased jitter.
The Pixel Accurate Reclocking circuit completely regenerates the original video signal
and outputs a strong, high-quality digital signal that conforms to the HDMI specification.
