Introduction
The HDMI-TPX-209 series extenders with AVX technology are Lightware’s future-proof
development and a natural progression from the widely popular HDMI-TPS-TX/RX97 series,
allowing users to extend HDMI 2.0 signals up to 4K60 4:4:4 video resolution through a single
CATx cable over distances of up to 100 meters.
Beyond the benets of sending high-resolution video over long distances, the extenders are
also capable of handling various connectivity standards, including bi-directional RS-232, USB
K+M extension and command injection over IR (output only) as well.
Audio signal de-embedding function is available via analog audio for HDMI-TPX-209AK series
extenders.
The Gigabit Ethernet port is also a valuable addition, allowing users to connect an additional
device to the network directly through the TPX extender.
HDCP 2.3 and basic EDID management functionality are also among the features offered
by these devices, such as their connectivity and easy integration into a wide range of AV
operations and compatibility with 3rd party devices.
Compatible Devices
The product is compatible with all Lightware TPX series models
and any third-party AVX devices.

Transmitter Side
Connect a CATx cable between the TPX output port of the transmitter
and the TPX input port of the receiver.
Connect the source (e.g. media player) to the HDMI input port of the
transmitter by a HDMI cable.
Connect the local sink devices (e.g. 4K TV) to the Local output port
by an HDMI cable. The output port is local loopback port in this case:
the same stream received on the input port is transmitted forward.
Optionally for analog output: connect an audio device (e.g. media
server) to the analog audio output port by an audio cable.
Optionally for USB HID extension: connect the transmitter to the
computer by an USB mini-B cable.
Connect the device to a LAN network.
Optionally for Infrared extension: connect an IR emitter to the IR
OUT port of the transmitter.
Optionally for RS-232: connect a device (e.g. media player) to the
RS-232 port.
Powering on the devices is recommended to do as the nal step
during the installation. Please check the Power Supply Options
section for the details.
Minimum CAT Cable Requirement
Lightware highly recommends using CAT6a AWG24 or higher category 10G Ethernet cables
for the TPX (AVX) connection between the transmitter and the receiver. Usage of e.g. AWG28
Ethernet cables may reduce the extension distance signicantly.
Firmware Upgrade
Lightware Device Updater (LDU2) is an easy and comfortable way to keep your
device up to date. Establish the connection via Gigabit Ethernet port. Download
and install LDU2 software from the company’s website, www.lightware.com,
where you can nd the latest rmware package as well.
Ventilation
¢
Pay attention to the ventilation holes when designing the system. Top and side
ventilation holes must not be covered.
Receiver Side
Connect a CATx cable between the TPX output port of the transmitter and
the TPX input port of the receiver.
Connect the sinks (e.g. 4K display and 4K projector) to the HDMI output
ports of the receiver by the HDMI cables.
Optionally for analog output: connect an audio device (e.g. audio amplier)
to the analog audio output port by an audio cable.
Optionally for USB HID extension: connect the USB HID devices to the
transmitter (preferably mouse and keyboard).
Connect the device to a LAN network.
Optionally for Infrared extension: connect an IR emitter to the IR OUT port
of the receiver.
Optionally for RS-232: connect a device (e.g. 4K TV) to the RS-232 port.
Powering on the devices is recommended to do as the nal step during
the installation. Please check the Power Supply Options section for the
details.
