Important Safety Instructions
Please read the supplied safety instruction document before using the product and keep it
available for future reference.
Introduction
TPS-TX87 and RX87 twisted pair HDBaseTTM extenders provide extension of uncompressed
4K/UHD video with embedded audio for long distances over a single CATx cable. The extender
offers uni-directional RS-232 and IR pass-through on the same CATx cable that carries the
video signal. The TPS extenders support full HDCP and EDID compliance and work on all
standard AV resolutions and also 120 Hz 3D signals. PoE 48V remote powering is available
through the single CATx cable, but a local power supply can also be used.

Compatible Devices
TPS-87 extenders are compatible with all Lightware devices with TPS port except the TPS-90
series.
Power Supply Options
TPS-87 extenders are compatible with IEEE 802.3af standard - Power over Ethernet (PoE) -
and can receive power over the TPS line.
The extenders are not compatible with TPS-95 extenders from remote power point
of view. TPS-95 extenders have a different remote power feature, which is not PoEcompatible. Please always check the devices before connecting them to each other. If
the remote power feature is disabled on the TPS-95 extender, it can be connected to a
TPS-87 device.
The extenders can be powered:
Locally with the supplied 12V DC adaptor or Lightware’s rack mountable PSU,
Remotely by a PoE-compatible Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device, like Lightware’s
power injector (TPS-PI-1P1) or a PoE-compatible matrix or matrix board.
If both supplying modes are available (local and remote), the remote power supply will be
used.
Do not connect any device to the TPS connector unless you are sure they are
compatible! Connecting incompatible devices with similar connectors may cause harm
to the devices.
AWG 26 cables are not recommended with remote powering (reduce cable distances).

Mounting Options
Lightware offers three types of mounting accessories to x the extenders:
Rack Shelf
1U high rack shelf provides mounting holes for the fastening of up to four extenders.
Mounting Steps:
Always use the xing screws that are supplied with the mounting accessory. If you
insert screws longer than 6 mm, the device can be damaged.
1. Unplug all the cables connected to the device(s).
2. Turn the device(s) upside down.
3. Put the shelf upside down on the device(s). Position it to get the mounting holes aligned.
4. Fasten the device on the shelf with the provided screws.
5. Fix the shelf to the desired place (screws are not supplied).
Under Desk Mounting Kit (UD-kit)
The UD-kit makes it easy to mount one extender under any at surface (e.g. furniture).
UD Mounting Kit Double (UD-kit double)
The UD-kit double makes it easy to mount two extenders under any at surface (e.g. furniture).

Installation of the Extender With a Matrix
1. Power off all devices (installing with powered devices may harm them).
2. Check the RS-232 switch(es) on the extender(s); they must be in Normal position for
RS-232 pass-through function.
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. Check the PoE settings of the matrix or the matrix board (with the LDC software); each
port can be set for remote powering separately.
5. 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.
6. Connect the video source(s), sink(s) and the desired accessory device(s) to the matrix
(MX-TPS boards don’t support the IR pass-through).
7. Connect the video source(s), sink(s) and the desired accessory device(s) to the extenders.
8. To supply the extender(s) with remote power supply, connect the necessary power
adaptor to the given matrix board.
9. To supply the extenders locally, connect the supplied adaptor (12V 2A DC).
10. Connect the power cord of the matrix into the outlet and switch on the matrix.
11. Supply the other connected units.

The direction of the video extension is xed from
TX towards RX, but the pass-through data lines
are bi-directional*. It means the RS-232 and
IR source and sink devices can be connected
either to the TX or to the RX, and the signal is
transmitted to the other extender.
* In fact IR transmission is uni-directional, but
the extender has two IR channels with different
directions.

RS-232
Third-party devices with standard RS-232 port are supported, as the extenders work in „pass-
through” mode. TX and RX provide a 3-pole Phoenix connector. The RS-232 options – the
baud rate and the parity bits – are set on the third-party devices and they can be anything. The
extenders support any kind of serial settings.
Please nd the RS-232 device type in its user guide; the extenders work as DCE devices.

Infrared (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).
IR Output Mode Switch
The IR output signal modulation can be selected by the front panel switch as follows:
Detector – 3-pole-TRS Emitter – 2-pole-TS
1 Tip Signal (active low) 1 Tip +5V
2 Ring GND 2 Ring
3 Sleeve +5V 3 Sleeve
Signal (active low)
Emitter: the 38 kHz modulation is switched on. In this case, an IR emitter can be
connected to the IR output port.
Wired: the 38 kHz modulation is switched off. This option allows the connection of a cable
between the IR output of the extender and the IR input port of the device desired to be
remote controlled.
TPS Link Modes
The TPS working mode between the transmitter and the receiver parties is determined by the
mode set in them. Both parties inuence the setting that determines the nal TPS transmission
mode. The following TPS modes are dened:
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 is present, the units change to LPPF mode automatically.
Low Power Partial Functionality (LPPF): Only 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.
