Important Safety Instructions
Please read and keep the information in the attached safety instructions supplied with the
product before you start using the device.
Introduction
Lightware’s UMX-TPS-TX100 devices transmit universal video at a resolution up to 4K, audio
and control up to 170 m distance over a single CAT cable. The products have HDBaseTTM
integration with additional Lightware developments. The transmitter was designed for digital
and analog video and audio signals e.g. DVI, VGA, YPrPb, HDMI1.4 and DP 1.1 with analog
stereo audio from local inputs or embedded 7.1 HBR audio and to handle HDCP encryption
Compatible Devices
The transmitters are compatible with all Lightware TPS receivers, matrix boards.

Power Supply Options
The transmitters can be powered:
Locally with the supplied 12V DC adaptor or Lightware’s rack mountable PSU, or
Remotely by a PoE-compatible power injector, like Lightware’s TPS-PI-1P1.
Powering by a matrix board over the TPS (CATx) cable. Output board needs to be
powered by an external PSU.
UMX-TPS-TX100 transmitters are PoE-compatible and can receive power over the TPS
line. The TPS-TX/RX95 extenders are not PoE-compatible thus not able to send/receive
power to/from the UMX-TPS-TX100 transmitters.
Connecting Steps
The product is compatible with any HDBaseTTM
third party devices.
HDBaseTTM and the HDBaseT Alliance logo are trademarks of the HDBaseT Alliance.
Locking DC plug
Twist 90° clockwise to lock.
Mounting
To mount the device Lightware supplies optional accessories for different usage. There are
two kinds of mounting kits with similar xing method. The transmitter has two mounting holes
with inner thread on the bottom side. Fasten the device by the screws enclosed with the
accessory.
The Under-desk double mounting kit makes it easy to mount a single device on any at
surface, e.g. furniture. 1U high rack shelf provides mounting holes for fastening two half-rack
or four quarter-rack sized units. Pocket-sized devices can also be fastened on the shelf. To
order mounting accessories please contact [email protected].
Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.
The transmitter is half-rack sized.

Typical Application
Software Control – Using Lightware Device Controller (LDC)
The device can be controlled from a computer through the Ethernet port
using Lightware Device Controller. Please download the application from
www.lightware.eu, install on a Windows PC or a Mac OS X and connect to the
device via the Ethernet port. LDC software contains many useful built-in tools
which can be used for signal analysis like the followings:
Test Pattern Generator
The output ports can send a special image towards the sink devices for testing purposes.
The settings of the test pattern are available via LDC, see the available patterns below:
Frame Detector
Lightware’s Frame Detector
function works like an input
signal analyzer and makes
possible to determine the exact
video format that is sent by the
source, thus helps to identify
many problems (e.g. timing
parameter difference).
TPS Cable Diagnostics
The estimated cable length and the quality of the link are
measured periodically and the diagnostic window shows
the values in real-time. If the green bars hit the rst line
in the middle they turn into red. It means the number of
the errors – during the extension – is higher than the
recommended one. The link might be alive but recovering
of the received data is not guaranteed.
Restore Factory Default Settings
1. Keep the Show me button pressed for 10 seconds; after 5 seconds front panel LEDs
start to blink but keep the buttons pressed; the LEDs start to blink faster 5 seconds later.
2. Release the button, then press it 3 times quickly; factory default settings are restored:

* Long reach TPS mode supports pixel clock frequencies up to 148.5 MHz.
** If 4K video is selected to the output, analog audio cannot be embedded to the video stream
due to the capabilities of the video IC, thus the original audio stream is transmitted.
Above values are valid when the transmitter is powered by a local adaptor; distances may
decrease depending on the powering mode (local or remote) and cable quality.
CAT7 SFTP AWG23 cable is always recommended.
Setting a Dynamic IP Address
1. Keep the Show me button pressed for 5 seconds; all front panel LEDs start to blink.
2. Release the button, then press it 3 times quickly. DHCP is now enabled.

Firmware Upgrade
Lightware Device Updater (LDU) is an easy and comfortable way to keep
your device up-to-date. Steps of rmware upgrade are the following:
1. Download and install LDU software from the www.lightware.eu and get
the latest rmware package from Lightware Support ([email protected]).
2. Establish the connection between the extender and the computer over LAN.
3. Start LDU software and select the Extender mode.
4. Load the new rmware le.
5. Select your upgradeable device.
6. Review the list of selected devices. Please set “Factory reset” option as disabled to avoid
settings loss. If you want to set all settings to default values, enable this option.
7. Start rmware upgrade.
8. Please wait until it is completed and device is rebooted.
9. Ready.
In certain cases new rmware version requires a factory reset to apply all new
features in the device. In this case “Factory reset” option is enabled by default and not
changeable by the user.
