SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Class II apparatus construction.
The equipment should be operated only from the power source indicated on the product.
To disconnect the equipment safely from power, remove the power cord from the rear of the equipment,
or from the power source. The MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device
shall remain readily operable.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside of the unit. Removal of the cover will expose dangerous
voltages. To avoid personal injury, do not remove the cover. Do not operate the unit without the cover
installed.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should
be placed on the apparatus.
The appliance must be safely connected to multimedia systems. Follow instructions described in this
manual.
Ventilation
For the correct ventilation and avoid overheating ensure enough free space around the appliance. Do
not cover the appliance, let the ventilation holes free and never block or bypass the ventilators (if any).
WARNING
To prevent injury, the apparatus is recommended to securely attach to the floor/wall or mount in
accordance with the installation instructions.

1. Introduction
Thank You for choosing Lightware HDMI-TPS-TX200 series transmitter. The products have
HDBaseTTM integration with additional Lightware developments. HDMI-TPS devices
transmit digital 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.

Transmitter unit
+12V DC adaptor with
interchangeable plugs
Phoenix®Combicon
3-pole connector
Infrared transmitter with
3.5 mm TS male connector
Phoenix®Combicon
8-pole connector *
* Only for the following models: HDMI-TPS-TX220, DVI-HDCP-TPS-TX220, DP-TPS-TX220,
SW4-TPS-TX240.
1.2. Description
This transmitter family was designed to extend digital video signals (e.g. HDMI 1.4 and
DP 1.1) and audio signals (analog stereo audio from local input or embedded 7.1 HBR
audio). Video signals with HDCP encryption are also supported. Many combination of the
audio/video signals are available to transmit.
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 them to
send any IR or RS-232 control command directly from the LAN connection.
PoE-compatible 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. HDMI-TPS-TX200 series is compatible with both the HDBaseTTM
extenders and matrix switchers.
Advanced models contain an 8-pole Phoenix®connector with user-configurable General
Purpose Input and Output pins. Using the built-in Event manager with the GPIO pins, many
controlling functions can be established in a simple way.

Table 1-1. Features of HDMI-TPS-TX200 series
1.4. Compatible devices
The transmitters are compatible with the following receivers and input boards:
MX modular matrix frames with MX-TPS-IB
HDMI-TPS-RX90
DVI-HDCP-TPS-RX95
HDMI-TPS-RX95
Info: The remote power feature of TPS-RX95 receivers differs from the HDMI-TPS-TX200 family
thus RX95 can be remote powered only by TX95 transmitter. HDMI-TPS-TX200 family
contains PoE-compatible remote power function, TX/RX95 family is not PoE-compatible.

Page 12 / 122 Section 1. Introduction
1.6. Features
Certain features depend on the configuration of the model. For more information about the
models see section 1.3 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 or DisplayPort, and Ethernet + RS-232 + Infra-Red over a single
CAT5e…CAT7e cable.
Various audio and video connectors –DVI-I, HDMI, DisplayPort, Stereo jack.
GPIO control port –7 GPIO pins operating at TTL digital signal levels and can be
controlled with both LW2 and LW3 commands.
HDCP compliant –HDMI-TPS-T200 series fulfils HDCP standard. HDCP
capability on the digital video inputs can be disabled when non-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, DP/DVI, DP/HDMI conversion –The transmitter is able to convert the
input video signal to another format so that you can watch the video on your local
display in another format.
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 conversion –Analog audio signal is converted to digital before
being sent 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 format and the 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 toggle between inputs. It helps the handling of the transmitter
and installation of new devices (SW4-TPS-TX240).

HDCP LED
dark: video output signal is not encrypted with HDCP
lights: video output signal is encrypted with HDCP
HDMI in Connect a HDMI cable between the source and the transmitter. Applied
cable shall not be more, than 30 m (when signal is 1080p) and 15 m (when
signal is 4K). Pin assignment can be found in section 2.5.2 on page 19.
Reset Reset button reboots the extender. This is the same as disconnecting the
device from the power source and reconnecting it again.

enable DHCP, restore factory default settings). For details about the
special functions see the section 5.2 on page 32.

Audio and Video LEDs
The input ports have their own LEDs regarding the Audio and/or Video state. The functions
of these LEDs are the same and refer to the given input port.
Audio LEDs
dark: the audio source is not selected
blinks: the audio source is selected but not active, regardless of the output mode
(e.g. DVI EDID is emulated on the port with HDMI signal)
lights: (with short pause): audio source is selected, the port is active but audio is
not embedded to the video stream (e.g. the output mode is DVI).
(continuously): audio source is selected, active and the audio is embedded
to the output video stream.
Video LEDs:
dark: video source is not selected
blinks: video source is selected but not active
lights: video source is selected and the port is active
Info: When Autoselect is enabled and video signal is not present at all, video LEDs blink.
Info: A port is active if there is a valid signal on it.

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.
