Introduction
The HDMI-TPX-209 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 of 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, USB K+M extension and command injection over IR (output only) as well. Audio signal de-embedding function is available via analog audio for HDMI-TPX-209AK series extenders. 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.
Compatible Devices The product is compatible with all Lightware TPX series models and any third-party AVX devices.

Minimum CAT Cable Requirement Lightware highly recommends using CAT6a AWG24 or higher category 10G Ethernet cables for the TPX (AVX) connection between the transmitter and the receiver. Usage of e.g. AWG28 Ethernet cables may reduce the extension distance significantly.
Firmware Upgrade Lightware Device Updater (LDU2) is an easy and comfortable way to keep your device up to date. Establish the connection via Gigabit Ethernet port. Download and install LDU2 software from the company’s website, www.lightware.com, where you can find the latest firmware package as well.
Ventilation ¢ Pay attention to the ventilation holes when designing the system. Top and side ventilation holes must not be covered.
