Introduction

Thank You for choosing Lightware HDMI20-OPTC series devices. The HDMI20-OPTC-TX/RX220-Pro is a HDMI 2.0 compatible extender pair for video, embedded audio, RS-232 and Gigabit Ethernet signals, supporting uncompressed 4K UHD resolution at 60Hz 4:4:4. This extender pair is particularly recommended for rental and staging applications, 4K live events, and for future-proof operation centers.

According to the philosophy of Lightware’s optical extenders, the transmitter and the receiver operate in pairs, so the transmitter is designed with LCD screen and jog dial control knob. This is for controlling the transmitter itself but it also controls and is able to congure the receiver.

Transmitter Side

The video signal is received at the Input 1 or the Input 2. The HDMI splitter duplicates the signal and sends the same HDMI stream to the local HDMI output and the ber output.

Receiver Side

The video signal arrives via optical cable into the HDMI splitter. It duplicates HDMI stream and transmits the signal without modifying it to the HDMI Out 2 port. The HDMI splitter transmits the same signal into the video converter where three output conversion modes can be set. It species how to deal with the HDMI 2.0 signal and what would be the output video signal on the Out 1A and the Out 1B.

In Transparent mode (no conversion mode), the video signal is transmitted to the HDMI Output 1A and the HDMI Output 1B without any changing.



Maximal data transmission capacity of Output 1B is 9 Gbps, if the video signal is above this

bandwidth, there will be no picture on the display.

Split mode means splitting of the original video signal into left and right halves and sending the split signal to the HDMI Output 1A and the HDMI Output 1B.

In Downsample convert mode (convert to YCbCr 4:2:0) the video converter subsamples the 4:4:4 signal to 4:2:0 on the 1A and 1B Output port.

Application of Brake-Out Connector

Neutrik OpticalCON connector has two ber channels. Lightware ber extenders use only one ber for signal transmission and the other ber is available through the break-out connector. In this case, one Neutrik OpticalCON Duo cable is enough to transmit two different A/V signal from one transmitter pair to another receiver pair.

Software Control – Using Lightware Device Controller (LDC)

The device can be controlled from a computer using the Lightware Device Controller software. The application is available at www.lightware.com, install it on a Windows PC or a Mac OS X and connect to the device via LAN, USB or RS-232.

Firmware Upgrade

Lightware Device Updater (LDU) is an easy and comfortable way to keep your device up-to-date. Establish the connection via Ethernet. Download and install LDU software from the company’s website www.lightware.com where you can nd the latest rmware package as well.

Typical Application

Typical Application Description

The two Ethernet connectors on each extender make possible to daisy chain the devices and build a local network where all the transmitters (1..3) and receivers (1..3) are available via LAN.

They can be controlled by Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software from the laptop.

Optical ber cable transmits the HDMI, embedded audio, Ethernet, and RS-232 signal to the receivers, so in this case, the sinks can be controlled by Ethernet commands from the control device (laptop).

In this example, all the sources send HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 A/V signal to the transmitters which extend the stream to the receivers via multimode ber cable.

Receiver 1..3 represent three applications of the output modes:

 RX1 is in transparent mode (no conversion mode), the sinks are stacked projectors.

The video signal is HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 on the Output 1A and the Output 2 ports.

 RX2 is in downsample convert mode (convert to YCbCr 4:2:0). The LED screen 2 is 4K

compatible and connected to the Output 2 port. LED screen 1 is not HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 compliant, so the video processor in the receiver converts the HDMI signal from 4:4:4 to 4:2:0, and this way the sink will be able to accept the signal on the Output 1B.

 RX3 is in split mode. The receiver supports vertical splitting of the HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz

4:4:4 input signal to left and right halves allowing for the transmission of an 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 signal over two HDMI1.4 compliant links. The sink is a projector which is able to recombine two half signal. Video signal is transmitted to the Output 2 without any changing.

Connecting Steps

OPT

Connect a multimode (MM) fiber cable to the channel A of the transmitter.

OPT

Optionally connect a compatible Lightware device or a third-party device to the break-out LC connector. It is internally linked to the channel B of the Neutrik connector.

HDMI

Connect an HDMI source (e.g. video processor or media server) to any of the inputs of the transmitter.

HDMI

Optionally connect an HDMI sink (e.g. confidence monitor) to the HDMI output of the transmitter. The displayed signal of the output port is equal with the extended video signal.

LAN

Optionally connect Ethernet devices (e.g. switch, laptop, computer etc.) to the available Neutrik etherCON connector(s) of the extender(s). All connected devices will work as if they are connected to the same network.

USB

Optionally connect a USB mini-B type cable between the transmitter unit and the computer in order to control the device.

RS-232

Optionally for RS-232 extension: connect a controller unit (e.g. button panel) to the RS-232 port of the transmitter with a null modem serial cable.

Power

Connect the power cord to the AC power socket to the transmitter unit. It is recommended to power on the devices as the final step.



Connecting the transmitter and receiver to the same LAN beside they are connected to each other via ber is not recommended. In case of Ethernet loop, the extenders are not available via LAN.

OPT

Connect a multimode (MM) fiber cable to the channel B of the receiver.

OPT

Optionally connect a compatible Lightware device or a third-party device to the break-out LC connector. It is internally linked to the channel A of Neutrik connector.

HDMI

Connect an HDMI sink (e.g. 4K projector) to the HDMI 1A and the 1B output ports and an other sink (e.g. LCD screen) to the HDMI 2 output port.

LAN

In order to control, optionally connect Ethernet devices (e.g. 4K LCD screen) to the available Neutrik etherCON connector of the extender.

RS-232

Optionally for RS-232 extension: connect a controlled device (e.g. Projector) to RS-232 port of the receiver with a serial cable.

Power

Connect the power cord to AC power socket to the receiver unit. It is recommended to power on the devices as the final step.



Always use high quality HDMI cable for connecting the sources with the transmitters, and

sinks with the receivers.

Mounting as a Standard Rack Installation (HDMI20-OPTC-TX220-Pro)

1. Two mounting holes on the front ears and two on the back of the chassis is for fastening two units to each other with 2x 2pcs M4x8 mm screws. This way you get a one-rack wide and 1U high device.

2. Fix the rack ears on left and right side as shown in the picture. The default position allows mounting the device as a standard rack unit.

To order rack mounting kit please contact [email protected].

Truss Mounting (HDMI20-OPTC-RX220-Pro)

Mounting thread on top and on one of the sides is for safe and secure installation. Rigging the handles with a safety wire rope is highly recommended for safety reasons. (Truss mounting clamp and safety wire rope are not available at sales.)



Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.



Pay attention to the ventilation holes when designing the system or the extender is

built into furniture. Side ventilation holes must not be covered.
