screws (4x) *
- For WP-HDMI-TPS-RX97-FP-8AT model only.
Please note that the 48V power adaptor is an optional accessory which can be purchased separately.
Power Supply Options
TPS-97 extenders are compatible with IEEE 802.3af standard – Power over
Ethernet (PoE) – and can receive power over the TPS line.
The extender can be powered by any of the following ways:
- Local adaptor
- Remote power injector
- Matrix board
TPS-TX/RX90 and TPS-TX/RX95 are not PoE-compatible, thus not able to remote
power the WP/FP-HDMI-TPS-RX97 series and vica versa. WP/FP-UMX-TPS-RX97 series
contains PoE-compatible remote power function (PD, Powered Device), RX95 and
TX95 extenders can be remote powered only by each other.
**Warranty void if damage occurs due to the usage of a different power
source.

● Connect the IR emitter to the IR OUT port of the receiver, and/or
● Connect the IR detector to the IR IN port of the receiver.
LAN| Optionally connect the receiver to a LAN.
Power| Powering on the devices is recommended to do as the final step during
the installation. Please check the Power Supply Options section for the
details.
Typical Application
TPS Link Modes
The TPS working mode between the transmitter and the receiver parties is
determined by the mode set in them. Both parties influence on the setting
which determines the final TPS transmission mode. The following TPS modes are
defined:
- Long reach (LR): Longer CATx cable length, less bandwidth (limited resolution). The LPPF mode is not available in LR TPS link mode.
- HDBaseT™ (HDBT): more bandwidth (higher resolutions), shorter CATx cable length. If no video present, the units change to LPPF mode automatically.
- Low Power Partial Functionality (LPPF): Only Ethernet, RS-232 and IR are extended.
Toggling between TPS link modes
The toggle switch on the extenders can be used to toggle between the LR and
Auto TPS modes. If both units have Auto state and there is valid video signal
on the transmitter the common mode will be HDBT. If the video signal
disappears devices go into LPPF mode.
The negotiated
TPS working mode| Selected mode (RX)
---|---
LR| Auto
Selected mode (TX)| LR| LR| LR
Auto| LR| HDBT
TPS mode between an extender and a port of a matrix board
If an extender and a TPS matrix board are paired the board forces the extender
to use the settings of the matrix. The extender’s TPS mode switch has no
effect.
Always use the Auto mode with third-party devices.

Bidirectional Pass-through Data Lines
The direction of the video extension is fixed from TX towards RX but the pass-
through data lines are bidirectional*. It means the RS-232, IR, Ethernet
source and sink devices can be connected either to the TX or to the RX and the
signal is transmitted to the other extender.
- In fact IR transmission is uni-directional but the extender has two IR channels with different directions.
RS-232
Third party devices with standard RS-232 port are supported as the extenders
work in „passthrough” mode. TX and RX provide 3-pole Phoenix connector. The
RS-232 options – the baud rate and the parity bits are set on the third party
devices and it can be anything. The extenders support any kind of serial
settings.
Please find the RS-232 device type in its user guide; the extenders work as
DCE devices.
Ethernet
The Ethernet port on the RX or on TX can be connected to a LAN hub, switch or
router with a LAN cable. The other side behaves as an Ethernet uplink port.
The extenders support 10/100 Mbps data transfer rate. The Ethernet port has
auto crossover function. It is able to recognize and handle both cable types:
patch and cross TP cables.
Infrared (IR)
One emitter and one detector is enough for remote controlling one IR sink
device. If there is an IR sink device to be controlled next to the TX and the
other one is next to the RX, two emitter-detector pairs are needed. The IR
emitter and the detector have standard 3.5 mm TRS (jack) connectors. The
emitter’s plug has two poles (mono) and the detector’s plug has three poles
(stereo).
The emitter and detector pair is not supplied with the product, it can be
ordered from Lightware separately.
Types of IR Connectors (1/8” TS / TRS )
| Detector – 3-pole-TRS | Emitter – 2-pole-TS |
|---|---|
| 1 Tip | Signal (active low) |
| 2 Ring | GND |
| 3 Sleeve | +5V |
Maximum Extension Distances
Below values are valid when the receiver is powered by a local adaptor;
distances may decrease depending on the powering mode (local or remote) and
cable quality.
