Important Safety Instructions
Please read the supplied safety instruction document before using the product and keep it available for future reference.
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.
