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 of up to 100 meters.

HDMI-TPX-TX106A model is featured with audio de-embedding function via the 5-pole Phoenix® Combicon analog audio port. 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.

Compatible Devices

• The product is compatible with all Lightware TPX series models and any third-party AVX devices.

Ventilation

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

Connecting Steps

Mounting Options

• For the mounting of the devices Lightware supplies optional accessories for different usages.
• The device has two mounting holes with an 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.

Locking DC Plug
Twist 90° clockwise to lock.

• Only HDMI-TPX-106 series extenders are built with a locking DC input connector

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 a 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.
