Important Safety Instructions

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

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Lightware TPS-TX200 series transmitter. The products have HDBaseTTM integration with additional Lightware developments. The devices transmit HDMI/ DVI digital video signal up to 4K resolution, audio and control up to 170 m distance over a single CAT cable (in case of DP-TPS transmitters the DP signal is converted to HDMI).

Compatible Devices

The transmitters are compatible with all Lightware TPS receivers, matrix boards and third party devices based on HDBase-TTM technology.

Power Supply Options

The transmitters can be powered:

  • Locally with the supplied 12V DC adaptor or Lightware’s rack mountable PSU, or
  • Remotely via the TPS connection over the CATx cable. TX210 and TX220 models are PoE-compatible, but TX226 uses a different kind of remote powering. For more information please turn the paper.

Connecting Steps

Power Supply Options – HDMI-TPS-TX226

  • This transmitter is able to send/receive power over TPS but that feature is not PoEcompatible.
    This transmitter can be powered:

  • Locally with the supplied 12V DC adaptor or Lightware’s rack mountable PSU, or

  • Remotely by an HDMI-TPS-RX96 receiver,

  • Remotely by an HDMI-TPS-RX95 or DVI-HDCP-TPS-RX95 receiver with proper jumper setting (see the relevant QSG), or

  • Remotely by an MX-TPS-IB, -IB-A, -IB-AS input board (with HW v11) installed in an MX-FR matrix. Output board needs to be powered by an external PSU.

Mounting Options

To mount the device Lightware supplies optional accessories for different usage. There are two kinds of mounting kits with similar fixing method. The transmitter 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 it easy to mount a single device on any flat surface, e.g. furniture. 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.

  1. Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.
  2. The transmitters are half-rack sized.

Types of IR connectors (1/8” TRS / TS)

Software Control – Using Lightware Device Controller (LDC) The device can be controlled from a computer through the Ethernet port using Lightware Device Controller. Please download the application from www.lightware.com, install on a Windows PC or a macOS and connect to the
device via the Ethernet port. LDC software contains many useful built-in tools which can be used for signal analysis like the followings: TPS Cable Diagnostics

The estimated cable length and the quality of the link are measured periodically and the diagnostic window shows the values in real-time. If the green bars hit the first line in the middle they turn into red. It means the number of the errors – during the extension – is higher than the recommended one. The link might be alive but recovering of the received data is not guaranteed.

Restore Factory Default Settings

  1. Keep the Show me button pressed for 10 seconds; after 5 seconds front panel LEDs start to blink but keep the buttons pressed; the LEDs start to blink faster 5 seconds later.
  2. Release the button, then press it 3 times quickly; factory default settings are restored:

Setting a Dynamic IP Address

  1. Keep the Show me button pressed for 5 seconds; front panel LEDs start to blink.
  2. Release the button, then press it 3 times quickly. DHCP is now enabled.

  • Long reach TPS mode supports pixel clock frequencies up to 148.5 MHz.

Above values are valid when the transmitter is powered by a local adaptor; distances may decrease depending on the powering mode (local or remote) and cable quality. To specify the accurate extension distances, please also check the documentation of the connected HDBaseT-compatible device.
CAT7 SFTP AWG23 cable is always recommended.

GPIO – General Purpose Input/Output Ports

The TX220 and HDMI-TPS-TX226 transmitters have seven GPIO pins which operate at TTL digital signal levels and can be set to high or low level (Push-Pull). The direction of the pins can
be input or output (adjustable). The signal levels are the following:

  Input voltage (V) Output voltage (V) Max. current (mA)
Logical low level 0 – 0.8 0 – 0.5 30
Logical high level 2 -5 4.5 – 5 18

GPIO connector and plug pin assignment

The total available current of the controller is 180 mA.
