Introduction
The HDMI-TPS-RX/TX95 and DVI-HDCP-TPS-RX/TX95 are DVI 1.0 and HDMI 1.4 compatible long-distance extenders. The difference between HDMI and DVI-HDCP models is just the HDMI and DVI connector. The units offer bi-directional RS-232, Infra-Red (IR), and
Ethernet signal pass-through on the same CAT5e...CAT7 cable that carries the uncompressed
HDMI video and audio signal.

Remote Power Options
The TPS extenders can be powered remotely by its extender pair or a TPS matrix board. This feature can be enabled or disabled with jumper settings. Switch off the extenders. Loose the screws and remove the small plate from the right side of the enclosure. To enable the remote power function place the jumper block onto all the pinheads. To disable it place the jumper block onto the upper line pinheads only. In case of enabled remote power on both extenders the local adaptor can be placed at any side.

(default)
The TPS remote powering must be used only with 95 series TPS extenders and MX
TPS matrix boards. Using it with other devices may damage both units. Connecting incompatible devices with similar connectors may cause harm to the devices. Never connect any third party device to the extender with remote powering!
AWG 26 cables are not recommended with remote powering (reduce cable distances).
Locking DC Plug
Twist 90° clockwise to lock.
Mounting Options
Lightware offers three types of mounting accessory to fix the extenders:
Under Desk Mounting Kit (UD-kit)
The UD-kit makes easy to mount one extender under any flat surface (e.g. furniture).
UD Mounting Kit Double (UD-kit double)
The UD-kit double makes easy to mount two extenders under any flat surface (e.g. furniture).
Installation of the Extender with a Matrix
1.
2.
3. The state of the TPS link mode switch makes no difference on the extender because the connected board forces the extender to use the settings of the matrix.
4.
Power off all devices. (Installing with powered devices may harm them.)
Check the RS-232 switch(es) on the extender(s); they must be in Normal position.
Set the remote power mode of the matrix boards with the jumpers on them. Every port can be set for remote powering separately. To enable the remote power function place the jumper block onto all the pinheads of the desired port. To disable it remove the jumper block. For detailed information, see the user’s manual of the matrix.
5. Set the extenders’ remote power mode with the same method as it mentioned in the standalone case.
6.
7.
Pair the extender(s) and the matrix board(s) with CATx cable(s). The transmitters’ TPS
OUT with the input boards’ TPS IN and the receivers’ TPS IN with the output boards’
TPS OUT.
Connect the video source(s), sink(s) and the desired accessory device(s) to the matrix
8.
(MX-TPS boards don’t support the IR pass-through).
Connect the video source(s), sink(s) and the desired accessory device(s) to the extend ers.
9. Supply that matrix boards with 12V 6,67A DC which have ports with enabled remote powering.
10. Supply the extenders with 12V 2A DC. If the remote power is disabled on the connected matrix card’s port, local adaptor must be used for the extender.
11. Connect the power cord of the matrix into the outlet and switch on the matrix.
12. Supply the other connected units.
Rack Shelf
1U high rack shelf provides mounting holes for fastening up to four extenders.
Mounting Steps
Always use the fixing screws which are supplied with the mounting accessory. If you insert screws longer than 6 mm, the device can be damaged.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Unplug all the cables connected to the device(s).
Turn the device(s) upside down.
Put the shelf upside down on the device(s). Position it to get the mounting holes aligned.
Fasten the device on the shelf with the provided screws.
Fix the shelf to the desired place (screws are not supplied).

TPS Link Modes
The TPS working mode between the transmitter and the receiver parties is determined by the mode set in them. Both parties influence on the setting which determines the final TPS transmission mode. The following TPS modes are defined:
Long reach (LR): Longer CATx cable length, less bandwidth (limited resolution). The
LPPF mode is not available in LR TPS link mode.
HDBaseT TM (HDBT): more bandwidth (higher resolutions), shorter CATx cable length. If no video present, the units change to LPPF mode automatically.
Low Power Partial Functionality (LPPF): Only Ethernet, RS-232 and IR are extended.
Toggling Between TPS Link Modes
The toggle switch on the extenders can be used to toggle between the LR and Auto TPS modes. If both units have Auto state and there is valid video signal on the transmitter the common mode will be HDBT. If the video signal disappears devices go into LPPF mode.
TPS mode between an extender and a port of a matrix board
If an extender and a TPS matrix board are paired the board forces the extender to use the settings of the matrix. The extender’s TPS mode switch has no effect.
Always use the Auto mode with third-party devices!

* Long reach TPS mode supports pixel clock frequencies up to 148.5 MHz.
** AWG 26 cables are not recommended with remote powering.
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.
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 RS-232, IR, Ethernet source and sink devices can be connected either to the TX or the RX.
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. Extenders support 10/100 Mbit/ sec data transfer rate. The direct access is also supported with cross-link cable. The Ethernet port has auto crossover function. It is able to recognize and handle both cable types: patch and cross TP cables.
RS-232
Third party devices with standard RS-232 port are supported as the extenders work in passthrough mode. TX and RX provide 9-pole D-sub female connector. Use straight-serial cable to connect a DTE device to an extender and use a cross serial cable in case of pairing a DCE device to the other TPS extender. The RS-232 options – the baud rate and the parity bits are set on the third party devices and it can be anything. The extenders support any kind of serial settings.
Please read the user’s manual of the RS-232 device to get its type. The extenders work as DCE devices.

Remote Power Options
The TPS extender can be powered remotely by the connected TPS matrix board or its extender pair. This feature can be enabled or disabled with jumper settings for every port separately. Switch off the matrix. Remove the desired cards. Pinheads are behind of the TPS connectors. To enable the remote powering function of the port place the jumper block onto all the corresponding pinheads. Connect the external 12V DC 6,67A power adaptor to the card separately. Finally, set the extenders’ desired power modes. To disable the remote powering function for a port remove the jumper block from the corresponding pinheads.
Jumper Settings
Place the jumper blocks onto all the pinheads of those units which you want to be powered remotely. For disabling the remote powering remove the jumper blocks and place them onto the upper line pinheads only.
Read carefully all the detailed instructions about remote powering devices! Never use remote powering with third-party units!
AWG 26 cables are not recommended for remote powering (reduce cable distances).
For more information please download the User’s Manual of the MX-FR matrix switchers.

Infra-Red (IR)
One emitter and one detector is enough for remote controlling one IR sink device. If there is an
IR sink device to be controlled next to the TX and the other one is next to the RX, two emitter- detector pairs are needed. The IR emitter and the detector have standard 3.5 mm TRS (jack) connectors. The emitter’s plug has two poles (mono) and the detector’s plug has three poles
(stereo).
