LIGHTWARE HDMI-TPN-TX107 HDMI 2.0 Transmitter

Product Information

The HDMI-TPN-TX107 and HDMI-TPN-RX107 transmitter and receiver devices with SDVoE technology are Lightware’s development allowing users to extend HDMI 2.0 signals up to 4K60 4:4:4 video resolution from a single source to multiple destinations through 10G Ethernet networks. These extenders are also capable of handling various connectivity standards, including a 1G user Ethernet channel over the 10G link, as well as command injection into IR and RS-232. The additional Gigabit Ethernet ports are also a valuable addition, allowing users to connect an additional device to the network directly through the TPN 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 with 3rd party devices, such as the Christie Terra projector.

Introduction

The HDMI-TPN-TX107 and HDMI-TPN-RX107 transmitter and receiver devices with SDVoE technology are Lightware’s development allowing users to extend HDMI 2.0 signals up to 4K60 4:4:4 video resolution from a single source to multiple destinations through 10G Ethernet networks.
Beyond the benefits of sending high-resolution video over long distances, the extenders are also capable of handling various connectivity standards, including a 1G user Ethernet channel over the 10G link, as well as command injection into IR and RS-232.
The additional Gigabit Ethernet ports are also a valuable addition, allowing users to connect an additional device to the network directly through the TPN extender. This is particularly useful for controlling external devices like projectors and displays.
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 with 3rd party devices, such as the Christie Terra projector.
When using direct connection in point-to-point mode, both the transmitter and receiver are compatible with Lightware’s TPX family of products.

Mounting Options

For the mounting of the devices Lightware supplies optional accessories for different usages. The device has two mounting holes with inner thread on the bottom side. Fasten the device by the screws enclosed to the accessory.

The UD Mounting Plate F110 makes it easy to mount a single device on any flat surface, e.g. furniture. The UD Mounting Plate F120 and UD Mounting Pro P140 provide the same for one half-rack or two quarter-rack sized units. Pocket- sized devices can also be fastened to them. The UD Mounting Pro P140 makes easy and quick changing of the extenders under the desk available. To order mounting accessories, please contact sales@lightware.com.
Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.
The extenders are quarter-rack sized.

Power Supply Options
TPN107 series extenders fulfill PoE PD standard, which means the TPN port can receive power over the Ethernet line.
HDMI-TPN-107 series extenders are not able to send remote power to each other. The TPX107 series devices can be powered in any of the following ways:

1. Local adaptors for both TX and RX

2. Remote power via network switch

Ventilation
Pay attention to the ventilation holes when designing the system. Top and side ventilation holes must not be covered.

Minimum CAT Cable Requirement
Lightware highly recommends using CAT6a AWG24 or higher category 10G Ethernet cables for the TPN (SDVoE) connection between the transmitter and the receiver. Usage of e.g. AWG28 Ethernet cables may reduce the extension distance significantly.

Firmware Update
Lightware Device Updater (LDU2) is an easy and comfortable way to keep your device up to date. Establish the connection via one of the port of the network switch or directly the Gigabit Ethernet port of the extender. Download and install LDU2 software from the company’s website, www.lightware.com, where you can find the latest firmware package as well.
