Introduction
Lightware’s universal matrix Transmitter switcher exploits the USB-C connectivity for a
simplied extension of up to 100m of 4K video, audio, control signals and power providing
meeting participants with easy host switching, video resolution capabilities up to 4K@60Hz at
4:4:4, as well as comprehensive and secure Ethernet features.
The Receiver extender with AVX technology allows 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.
They also support independent USB host switching with USB 2.0, making the pair excellent
for meeting room setups.
The Transmitter / Receiver pair is is featured with audio de-embedding function via the 5-pole
®
Combicon analog audio ports.
Phoenix
Beyond the benets of sending high-resolution video over long distances, the pair is also
capable of handling various connectivity standards, including bi-directional RS-232, GPIO and
OCS as well.
The Gigabit Ethernet port is also a valuable addition, allowing users to connect an additional
device to the network directly through the TPX extender.
The Transmitter is also capable of powering the Receiver remotely over Ethernet, as the
Receiver is PoE compatible.

GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output Ports)
The device has seven GPIO pins that operate at TTL
digital signal levels and can be set to high or low level
(Push-Pull). The direction of the pins can be input or output (adjustable). The signal levels are
the following:
Input voltage (V) Output voltage (V) Max. current (mA)
Logic low level 0 - 0.8 0 - 0.5 30
Logic high level 2 -5 4.5 - 5 18
Plug pin assignment 1-6: Congurable, 7: 5V (max. 500 mA); 8: Ground
The recommended cable for the connectors is the AWG24 (0.2 mm
used ‘alarm cable’ with 4x0.22 mm2 wires.
The maximum total current for the six GPIO pins is 180 mA, the max. supported input/
output voltage is 5V.
