Important Safety Instructions

Please read the supplied safety instruction document before using the product and keep it available for future reference.
Introduction
The HDMI20-TPSpro series contains a twisted pair HDBaseT™ transmitter and receiver providing extension of uncompressed 4K 30Hz or compressed 4K 60Hz video with embedded audio (up to eight channel PCM or HBR audio) for 100 meter over a single CATx cable. The units offer bi-directional RS-232, IR, backwards audio and Ethernet pass-through on the same CATx cable that carries the video signal. The extenders support full HDCP and EDID compliance and work on all standard AV resolutions up to 4K and 48-bit color depth handling all standard audio formats and also 120 Hz 3D signals. Remote powering is available from TX to RX device through the CATx cable. Both devices can be mounted on a rack shelf or used standalone.
Compatible Devices
However, HDMI20-TPSpro devices are based on HDBaseT™ technology, the devices can be operated only with each other and they are not compatible with other TPS products.
HDBaseT™ and the HDBaseT Alliance logo are trademarks of the HDBaseT Alliance.

Installation Checkpoints

The followings help to have a successful install: check the following settings.
Connecting the Devices

• Use CAT7 SFTP AWG23 cables for the TPS devices; pay attention to the connector pinout. Maximum extension distance is 100 m.
• The allowed HDMI cable length (at the input port):
  • 1920×1080@60Hz: max. 30 m
  • 3840×2160@30Hz: max. 10 m
  • 3840×2160@60Hz: max. 5 m

Powering Options

• The transmitter is powered by the supplied local adaptor.
• The receiver is powered by the transmitter over the TPS connection (PoE-compatible).
• Power on the devices as the final step of the cabling.

Ethernet Loop

• Network problem may arise when connecting two/more TPS devices or two/more TPS ports of a device to the same network.

Connecting Steps

Think about the order of the installation: mount the device first than do the cabling or the opposite.

| Connect an HDMI source device (e.g. a 4K PC) to the HDMI input port of the Transmitter.
Connect a compatible HDMI sink device (e.g. 4K TV) to the HDMI output port of the Receiver.
---|---
| Optionally for RS-232 serial transmission: connect the desired devices (e.g. a Touch panel, Relay box) to the RS-232 ports.
| Optionally for IR signal transmission: connect the desired devices (e.g. an IR transmitter and an IR receiver to the IR input and output ports of the extenders).
| Optionally connect one of the extenders to a local network.
| Optionally connect an audio system to the 4K TV.
| Connect the transmitter and the receiver by a CATx cable.
| Firstly connect the power adaptor to the DC input of the power injector, then secondly to the AC power socket.

Typical Application Diagram

SPDIF option is active at current setup: the returned audio is sent via the TOSLINK connection from the transmitter to the audio amplifier – see the details in the Audio options section.

Bi-directional Pass-through Data Lines

The direction of the video extension is fixed from TX towards RX but the pass- through data lines are bi-directional.
It means the serial, 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 extenders have two separated IR ports.
RS-232
Third party devices with standard RS-232 port are supported as the extenders work in pass-through 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 the extenders support any kind of serial settings.
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.
Return Audio Options
The following return audio transmissions are available:
ARC mode – Transmission over the HDMI Ports (default)
The audio is sent over the Audio Return Channel over the HDMI cable to the HDMI source.

SPDIF mode – Transmission over the Optical Audio Ports
The audio from the optical audio input is switched to the optical audio output.  The direction of the audio

Software Control – by Using the Built-in Web page
The simple built-in web page can be opened in a browser.

1. Type the IP address in the address line of the browser (factory default address is 192.168.0.100) and open the login page.
2. The default user/password is admin/admin. After login you can change the password in the Admin menu.

The password is reset to ‘admin’ when the factory default settings are reloaded.

Menu Structure of the Built-in Web

Home Menu

• Displaying the current firmware versions.
• Showing the internal temperature of the transmitter and the elapsed time since last boot.
• Showing the HDBaseT connection status by a ‘LED’; it shows the same as the front panel LINK LED.

Settings Menu

• Changing the network settings.

• Setting the mode of the optical input port of the receiver:
  – ARC (default): the audio is sent over the Audio Return Channel (ARC) of the HDMI stream.
  – SPDIF: the audio is routed from the optical input port (RX) to the optical output port (TX).

• Resetting the factory default values.

• Blinking the Power LED of the transmitter (identifying the device).

• Changing the password for login.

The pinout of the RS-232 port is different than other Lightware devices, please pay attention before connecting a previously created serial cable.
For more information about the cable wiring see the Cable Wiring Guide on our website www.lightware.com/support/guides-and-white- papers.

IR Port Pinout
Bi-directional IR signal transmission is available over the IR ports of the extenders. IR transmitter and receiver units can be purchased from Lightware as an optional accessory.
The pinouts of the connectors are the followings:
IR Port (Transmitter)

IR Port (Receiver)

Mounting the Device (with optionally available accessories)

Below examples demonstrate the Rack Shelf accessory which can be used to install the device into a rack cabinet. Two devices can be fixed to the shelf: The UD-kit double accessory can be used to fix the device under the desk: Ventilation
**** To ensure the correct ventilation and to avoid overheating let enough free space around the appliance. Pay attention when mounting the device: let two opposite sides free at least to ensure the airflow.
