1. Introduction DP-OPT-TX150, DP-OPT-RX150 – User's Manual
1.1.
Description
DisplayPort is one of the newest video interface standards. Using DisplayPort, high resolution video and excellent quality audio can be transmitted. The interface’s 10.8 Gbps bandwidth is capable of transmitting
2560x1600@60Hz pixel resolution video with full support of content protection (HDCP). UHD and 4Kx2K resolution can be achieved up to 30Hz frame rate.
Intelligent HID Emulation is provided for two devices with full transparency. The special HID devices – including keyboard and mouse – are emulated by the extender and transparently transferred to the computer with the result that no extra drivers are required for the proper functionality, it’s as easy as Plug & Play.
DP-OPT-TX150 has 2 extra local USB ports with a built-in HUB and can be connected to the PC/Mac with a single USB cable.
When connecting a DVI or HDMI display through an adaptor cable, Dual-mode DisplayPort graphic cards reconfigure their outputs to DVI or HDMI accordingly. Lightware DisplayPort extenders support Dual-mode port extension and adaptor cables.
Lightware’s DisplayPort extenders can be used with Thunderbolt sources and devices. The extender pair and the DisplayPort monitor have to be placed at the end of the Thunderbolt chain. Apple Thunderbolt Display is not supported.
Single Fiber Technology makes these units fully DisplayPort 1.1a and HDCP 1.1 compliant without the need of a second fiber cable or copper connections. To simplify cabling, the bidirectional communication
- necessary for DisplayPort Link Training, HDCP handshaking and USB transfer - is performed on the same fiber core that transmits the video signal. Both receiver and transmitter are remote configurable from either side through the mini USB connector.

State and Description
As coded in the USB device.
Channel A1 and A2 are used for USB communication. A1 is always transparent, A2 can be switched. The USB device on Channel A1 was connected to the receiver the earliest.
Active: the device is ready to use in transparent mode.
Supported: the device is supported, but not active (no channel is available for extension).
Unsupported: the device is not USB HID (e.g. pen drive).
Vendor ID and Product ID as coded in the USB device.
See the following section.
VID, PID
Address
The Address of the Device
Address of the device plugged in = 1 and the device plugged in = 2. Since USB HUB can be connected to the receiver, the addresses are determined as follows:
▪
▪ Address of the USB HUB: 100 (not visible)
Address of the USB device connected to the first port of the USB HUB: 104
DP-OPT-TX150, DP-OPT-RX150 – User's Manual 19
However USB HUBs are supported by the receiver, only two devices are active at the same time in transparent mode: the devices which are closest to the root address. If an active device is disconnected, the next valid device (that is the closest to the root) will be active.
INFO: Channel A1 and A2 are assigned to the devices automatically when a new device is connected.
Port Numbers
The port numbers of the USB HUB determines the priority of the devices. When more devices are connected to an USB HUB, the USB port number determines the priority of the connected devices: the lower number, the higher priority. This priority has an effect when the channels are assigned to the devices.
Blocked USB Devices
The USB blocking feature allows you to activate the desired devices when more than two USB HID devices are connected to the receiver (two channels are available for USB extension). A typical example is shown in
the Example 3: Connecting three USB HID devices and a HUB
section.
Blocking a Device
Step 1. Click on the Block manually button, or select a device from the Connected USB devices list and click on Block selected button.
Step 2. Check the fields in the appearing window
(Device name, Vendor ID, Product ID) and click on Save button. The ID is the number of the blocked device in the list.
Step 3. Click the Apply button in the bottom of the window to save changes. The desired device is added to the Blocked USB devices list and next time when you connect it to the receiver, its status will be displayed as Blocked .
Removing blocked devices
Step 1. Select the device from the Blocked USB devices list.
Step 2. Click on Remove button.
Step 3. Click on Apply button on the bottom of the screen to save changes.
INFO: The Remove all button will empty the list of blocked devices.
Above example shows a mouse that is connected to the USB port (Ch A1, Addr 2). The other device is a keyboard, which is connected via an USB HUB – that is why its address is not 1 but 101. Since the extenders are in configuration mode, only one device can be used: the one on channel A1 (the mouse).

Shown in the LDC:
In a simple case a keyboard and a mouse are connected to the receiver.
In Transparent mode both devices are operable.
In Configuration mode only one of them is available (as seen on the screenshot), the keyboard on channel A1.
The second row (the mouse) is blinking, showing that the device is not available.
Shown in LDC:
This case is similar than the first, but now the mouse and the keyboard are connected to a local USB HUB.
The HUB (with 4 available USB ports) is built into the monitor and connected to the receiver (the address of the HUB is 200). The keyboard is connected to the 2nd port (Addr. 202) and the mouse is connected to the
4th port of the HUB (Addr. 204).
In Transparent mode both devices are operable.
In Configuration mode only one USB HID device is available (as seen on the screenshot), the keyboard on channel A1. The second row (the mouse) is blinking, showing that the device is out of operation currently – due to the USB mode.

Example 4: Using an Apple LED cinema display

Shown in LDC:
Shown in LDC:
On the third example three USB devices can be seen. A mouse and a keyboard are connected to the USB HUB that is connected to one of the receiver’s USB port. A presenter device is connected to the other USB port
(the presenter is listed as “Keyboard”).
In Transparent mode two devices are operable: the presenter (on channel A1) and the keyboard (on channel
A2). The presenter was connected to the receiver the earliest, that is why channel A1 is assigned to the presenter. The address number of the keyboard is lower than the mouse, that is why channel A2 is assigned to the keyboard. If you want to use the mouse, you have to block the presenter or the keyboard (the other option is to disconnect one of them).
In Configuration mode only one device is operable: the presenter on channel A1. Second row (the keyboard) is blinking, showing the device is not available – due to the USB mode.
INFO: Channel A1 and A2 are assigned to the devices automatically when a new device is connected; they cannot be changed manually.
INFO: The port numbers of the USB HUB determines the priority of the devices. When more devices are connected to an USB HUB, the USB port number determines the priority of the connected devices: the lower number, the higher priority. This priority has an effect when the channels are assigned to the devices.
The last example shows a special layout, where an Apple LED cinema display (with built-in USB HUB), a mouse, a keyboard and another simple USB HUB are installed. The layout could cause headache, since the display contains three components which report themselves as HID devices. The result is that the keyboard’s address is lower than the components in the display device and the keyboard will be operable neither in configuration-, nor in transparent mode.
The solution in this case is to block the unnecessary devices, shown in the 2nd and 4th rows. (The device in the 3rd row is not supported, it is not necessary to block.) Block the two devices:
Thus in Transparent mode the mouse and the keyboard will be operable.
In Configuration mode only the mouse is available, that is why the last row is blinking.

6.2. How to Speed Up the Troubleshooting Process
Lightware’s technical support team is always working hard to provide the fastest support possible. Our team’s response time is one of the best in the industry and in the toughest of cases we can directly consult with the hardware or software engineer who designed the product to get the information from the most reliable source.
However, the troubleshooting process can be even faster… with your help.
There are certain pieces of information that push us in the right direction to finding the root cause of the problem. If we receive most of this information in the first e-mail or it is gathered at the time when you call us, then there is a pretty high chance that we will be able to respond with the final solution right away.
This information is the following:
▪ Schematic (a pdf version is preferred, but a hand drawing is sufficient).
▪ Serial number(s) of the device(s) (it is either printed somewhere on the box or you can query it in the
Device Controller software or on the built-in website).
▪ Firmware versions of the devices (please note that there may be multiple CPUs or controllers in the device and we need to know all of their firmware versions, a screenshot is the best option).
▪ Cable lengths and types (in our experience, it’s usually the cable).
▪ Patch panels, gender changers or anything else in the signal path that can affect the transmission.
▪ Signal type (resolution, refresh rate, color space, deep color).
▪ Emulated EDID(s) (please save them as file and send them to us).
▪ Actions to take in order to re-create the problem (if we cannot reproduce the problem, it is hard for us to find the cause).
▪ Photo or video about the problem (‘image noise’ can mean many different things, it’s better if we see it too).
▪ Error logs from the Device Controller software.
▪ In the case of Event Manager issue the event file and/or backup file from the Device Controller software.
The more of the above information you can give us the better. Please send these information to the Lightware
Support Team ( [email protected]
) to speed up the troubleshooting process.

7.1. HDCP Management
Lightware Visual Engineering is a legal HDCP adopter. Several functions have been developed which helps to solve HDCP related problems. Complex AV systems often have both HDCP and non-HDCP components.
The matrix allows transmitting HDCP encrypted and unencrypted signals. The devices will be still HDCP compliant as they will never output an encrypted signal to a non-HDCP compliant display device. If an encrypted signal is switched to a non-compliant output, a red screen alert or muted screen will appear.
7.1.1.
Protected and Unprotected Content
Many video sources send HDCP protected signal if they detect that the sink is HDCP capable – even if the content is not copyrighted. This can cause trouble if an HDCP capable device is connected between the source and the display. In this case, the content cannot be viewed on non-HDCP capable displays and interfaces like event controllers. Rental and staging technicians often complain about certain laptops, which are always sending HDCP encrypted signals if the receiver device (display, matrix router, etc.) reports HDCP compliancy. However, HDCP encryption is not required all the time e.g. computer desktop image, certain laptops still do that.
To avoid unnecessary HDCP encryption, Lightware introduced the HDCP enabling/disabling function: the
HDCP capability can be disabled in the Lightware device. If HDCP is disabled, the connected source will detect that the sink is not HDCP capable, and turn off authentication.
7.1.2.
Disable Unnecessary Encryption
HDCP Compliant Sink
All the devices are HDCP-compliant, no manual setting is required, both protected and unprotected contents are transmitted and displayed on the sink.
33
Not HDCP-compliant Sink 1.
Not-HDCP compliant sink is connected to the matrix. Some sources (e.g. computers) always send HDCP encrypted signals if the receiver device reports HDCP compliancy, however, HDCP encryption is not required all the time (e.g. computer desktop image). If HDCP is enabled in the matrix, the image will not be displayed on the sink.
Setting the HDCP parameter to Auto on the output port and disable HDCP on the input port, the transmitted signal will not be encrypted if the content is not protected. Thus, non-HDCP compliant sinks will display nonencrypted signal.
Not HDCP-compliant Sink 2.
The layout is the same as in the previous case: non-HDCP compliant display device is connected to the matrix but the source would send protected content with encryption. If HDCP is enabled on the input port of the matrix, the source will send encrypted signal.
The sink is not HDCP compliant, thus, it will not display the video signal (but blank/red/muted/etc. screen).
If HDCP is disabled on the input port of the matrix, the source will not send the signal. The solution is to replace the display device to an HDCP-capable one.

7.2.
DisplayPort
DisplayPort is a widely spread audio/video interface standard designed by VESA (Video Electronics Standard
Association) in 2006. The aim was to create such an interface that would be the connection between graphic cards and display devices. The standard is available and free thus it can be implemented widely, which could help replacing the previously used interfaces, such as VGA or DVI.
Lightware’s DP-OPT extenders are designed according to DisplayPort standard 1.1a. The maximum allowed bandwidth is 10.8 Gbps, which means e.g. 2560x1600 pixel resolution at 60 Hz or 4096x2400 pixels at 30
Hz. Color depth until 16 bits per color and 8-channel embedded LPCM audio is supported.
7.2.1.
Dual Mode
Mentioned standard was designed to support HDMI/DVI display devices too. If the sink is assembled with
DVI or HDMI input connector, it can be connected to a dual mode DisplayPort source by a passive adaptor
(DP++). In this case, source switches to DVI/HDMI mode and the signal is changed to be in line with DVI/
HDMI requirements.
INFO: Most of the sources assembled with DisplayPort supports Dual mode, but if you are not sure check the documentation of your device.
Passive adaptor
Display device with HDMI or DVI connector can be connected by a passive DP-HDMI or DP-DVI adaptor to the source. The passive adaptor has two functions: sending a sign to the source if DVI or HDMI signal is required, and doing level shifting from +3.3V to +5V. The source switches to DVI/HDMI mode and sends the proper signal.
DP-DVI and DP-HDMI Passive Adaptors
INFO: More information about adaptors can be found in VESA DisplayPort Interoperability Guideline
( www.displayport.org
).
