LIGHTWARE HDMI-TPX Series Transmitter
Important Safety Instructions
Please read the supplied safety instruction document before using the product and keep it available for future reference.
Introduction
The HDMI-TPX-106 and HDMI-TPX-107 series extenders with AVX technology are
Lightware’s future proof development and a natural progression from the widely
popular HDMI-TPS-TX/RX97 series, allowing users to extend HDMI 2.0 signals up
to 4K60 4:4:4 video resolution through a single CATx cable over distances up
to 100 meters.
Beyond the benefits of sending high-resolution video over long distances, the
extenders are also capable of handling various connectivity standards,
including bi-directional RS-232 and command injection over IR (output only) as
well. The Gigabit Ethernet port is also a valuable addition, allowing users to
connect an additional device to the network directly through the TPX extender.
HDCP 2.3 and basic EDID management functionality are also among the features
offered by these devices, such as their connectivity and easy integration into
a wide range of AV operations and compatibility with 3rd party devices.

Ventilation
- Pay attention to the ventilation holes when designing the system. Top and side ventilation holes must not be covered.
Connecting Steps
Locking DC Plug
Twist 90° clockwise to lock.
- Only HDMI-TPX-106 series extenders are built with locking DC input connector
Minimum CAT Cable Requirement
Lightware highly recommends using CAT6a AWG24 or higher category 10G Ethernet
cable for the TPX (AVX) connection between the transmitter and the receiver.
Usage of e.g. AWG28 Ethernet cable may reduce the extension distance
significantly.
Mounting Options
For the mounting of the devices Lightware supplies optional accessories for
different usages. There are two kinds of mounting kits with a similar fixing
method. The transmitter and the receiver have two mounting holes with inner
thread on the bottom side. Fasten the device by the screws enclosed to the
accessory.
The
Under-desk and Under-desk double mounting kit makes it easy to mount a single
device on any flat surface, e.g. furniture. 1U high rack shelf provides
mounting holes for fastening two half-rack or four quarter-rack sized units.
Pocket-sized devices can also be fastened on the shelf. To order mounting
accessories, please contact [email protected].
- The transmitter and the receiver units are quarter-rack sized.
- Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.
Wiring Guide for RS-232 Data Transmission
HDMI-TPX-100 series extenders are built with a 3-pole Phoenix connector. See
the below examples of connecting to a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment)
or a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) type device:
