Introduction

Thank you for choosing Lightware HDMI-TPS-RX220AK receiver. The device offers seamless HDBaseT™ integration with additional Lightware product lines and developments, including TPS matrices and 25G boards. The device receives digital video at a resolution up to 4K, as well as audio and control up to 170 meters over a single CAT cable. Furthermore, the device utilizes control over USB KVM, and can be remotely powered over TPS link with PoE (IEEE 802.3af), a useful array of features to further simplify the operation for system integrators and users.

The product is compatible with any third-party HDBaseT™ devices.

HDBaseT™ and the HDBaseT Alliance logo are trademarks of the HDBaseT Alliance.

Compatible Devices

The receiver is compatible with other Lightware TPS devices, matrix TPS and TPS2 boards, 25G boards, as well as third-party HDBaseT-extenders, displays, but not  compatible with the phased out TPS-90 extenders.

The receiver is PoE-compatible (Power over Ethernet, can be powered remotely via CATx cable) but the device can receive only power and cannot send power to other PoE-compatible devices.

Mounting

To mount the receiver Lightware supplies optional accessories for different usage. There are two kinds of mounting kits with similar fixing method. The receiver has two mounting holes with inner thread on the bottom side. Fasten the device by the screws enclosed with the accessory.

The Under-desk double mounting kit makes easy to mount a single device on any flat surface, e.g. furniture. The 1U high rack shelf provides mounting holes for fastening two half-rack or four quarter-rack sized units. Pocket-sized devices can also be fastened on the shelf. To order mounting accessories please contact sales@lightware.com.

Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.
The receiver is half-rack sized

Locking DC Plug
Twist 90° clockwise to lock.

Powering Options

Power: Powering options

1. Using local PSU
   Connect the power adaptor to the DC input on the receiver first, then to the AC power socket.

2. Using PoE with connecting a transmitter:
   Connect the TPS IN (PoE) port of the receiver to the TPS+PoE output port of the TPS-PI-1P1 power injector by a CATx cable as well as connect the TPS output port of the transmitter to the TPS port of the TPS-PI-1P1 by a CATx cable.

3. Using PoE with connecting a matrix switcher or an output board
   Connect the TPS IN (PoE) port of the receiver to the PoEcompatible TPS output port of the matrix or output board by a CATx cable.

 In case of connecting the receiver to an output board of the matrix always connect an external PSU to the board. For the detailed information please read the user’s manual of the matrix.
 The Ethernet port does not support PoE. Only the TPS port support PoE function.
 If both remote and local power sources are connected, the remote power will be used.
