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.

Section 1. Introduction Page 11 / 127
1.3. 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 digital format and the audio signals
can be de-embedded from the video. Thus 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 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. UMX-TPS transmitter can be mounted on a rack shelf or
used standalone, while the WP-UMX-TPS transmitters designed to place into a wall or
furniture. The transmitters are compatible with both the HDBaseTTM extenders and matrix
switchers.

Table 1-1. Features of UMX-TPS and WP-UMX-TPS devices
1.5. 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 UMX-TPS-TX100 series
thus RX95 can be remote powered only by TX95 transmitter. UMX-TPS-TX100 series
contains PoE-compatible remote power function, TX/RX95 family is not PoE-compatible.

Page 12 / 127 Section 1. Introduction
1.6. 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
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 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 signals are
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.

WP-UMX-TPS-TX130-US). Applied cable shall not be more, than
30 m (at 2.7 Gbps data speed). Pin assignment can be found in
section 2.5.3 on page 20.
Ethernet Front-side locking RJ45 connector (only on WP-UMX-TPS
transmitters) for Ethernet communication. The typical way of
installation is when LAN is connected to the receiver side, and
the Ethernet port on the wall plate can be used for a Laptop or
PC.
Important! Please do not cover the ventilation holes on the front panel of the wall plates; ensure the
proper airflow.

local adaptor, connect the output (+48 V, 1A) to the 2-pole
Phoenix®connector on the rear of the wall plate. Using
Lightware’s PSU-48VP1 power adaptor is highly recommended.
RS-232 3-pole Phoenix connector for RS-232 serial port. Pin assignment
can be found in section 2.5.8 on page 22.

extender to a Local Area Network (LAN). Pin assignment can be
found in section 2.5.5 on page 21.
TPS out Locking RJ45 connector. Connect a twisted pair cable between
the transmitter and the receiver. Remote powering also happens
through this connector. Pin assignment can be found in section
2.5.7 on page 21. Maximum twisted pair distances can be found
in section 11.3 on page 122.
Status LEDs The LEDs give immediate feedback about device’s state, RS-232
and TPS link state. For more information see section 5.2 on page
31.
