Introduction
Lightware’s FP-UMX-TPS extenders transmit universal video at a resolution up to 4K, audio and control up to 170 m distance over a single CATx cable. The products have HDBaseTTM integration with additional Lightware developments. This transmitter was designed for digital and analog video and audio signals e.g. DVI, VGA, HDMI1.4 and DP 1.1 with analog stereo audio from local inputs or embedded 7.1 HBR audio and to handle HDCP encryption.

Power Supply Options
The transmitter can be powered by any of the following ways:
Warranty void if damage occurs due to the usage of a different power source.
- Please note that the 48V power adaptor is an optional accessory which can be purchased separately.
- TPS-TX/RX90 and TPS-TX/RX95 are not PoE-compatible, thus not able to remote power the FP-UMX-TPS-TX100 series and vica versa. FP-UMX-TPS-TX100 series contains PoEcompatible remote power function, RX95 and TX95 extenders can be remote powered only by each other
Wiring Guide for RS-232 Data Transmission
The transmitters are built with 3-pole Phoenix connector. See the below
examples of connecting to a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) or a DTE
(Data Terminal Equipment) type device:
For more information about the cable wiring see the user’s manual of the
device or the Cable
Wiring Guide on our website www.lightware.com/support/guides-and-white-
papers.
Connecting Steps
- CATx: Connect the transmitter and a compatible receiver or the matrix input board by a CATx cable via the TPS connectors
- VGA,HDMI,DP: Connect the transmitter and the sources using the inputs and VGA / HDMI / DisplayPort cables.
- Audio: Optionally connect an asymmetric audio device with unbalanced audio signal (e.g. a VGA laptop) to the 2.5″ TRS (jack) audio input port.
- LAN: Optionally connect the transmitter to a LAN network in order to control the device.
- RS-232: Optionally connect a controller/controlled device (e.g. relay box) to the serial port.
- Power: See the Power Supply Options section.
Compatible Devices
The transmitters are compatible with all Lightware TPS receivers, matrix
boards and third-party devices based on HDBase-TTM technology.

Front Panel Button Functions
Video Input Selection
The desired video input can be selected by pressing the Video select button on the front panel. The selection order of the inputs depend on the model as follows:
Audio Input Selection
The desired audio input can be selected by pressing the Audio select button on the front panel. The selection order of the inputs depend on the model.
- If 4K video is selected to the output, analog audio cannot be embedded to the video stream due to the limitations of the video IC, thus the original audio stream will be transmitted.
Cross Audio-embedding: The video and audio inputs can be combined with limitations. Below table contains the allowed connections:
The video and audio inputs can be also selected by using LDC (Lightware Device Controller), sending a protocol command, or using Autoselect.
Lock / Unlock Buttons
Press the Audio select and the Show me buttons together.
Set a Dynamic IP Address
- Keep the Show me button pressed for 5 seconds; all front panel LEDs start to blink.
- Release the button, then press it 3 times quickly. DHCP is now enabled.
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 Frame detector, Cable diagnostics, and the No sync screen (Test pattern).
Maximum Extension Distances
Below 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.
- Long reach TPS mode supports pixel clock frequencies up to 148.5 MHz.
- If 4K video is selected to the output, analog audio cannot be embedded to the video stream due to the capabilities of the video IC, thus the original audio stream is transmitted.
- To specify the accurate extension distances, please also check the documentation of the connected HDBaseT-compatible device.
- CAT7 SFTP AWG23 cable is always recommended
Restore Factory Default Settings
- Keep the Show me button pressed for 10 seconds. After 5 seconds front panel LEDs start to blink but keep the button pressed. The LEDs start to blink faster 5 seconds later.
- Release the button, then press it 3 times quickly; factory default settings are restore.
