Remote Power Options
The TPS extender can be powered remotely by the connected TPS matrix board or its
extender pair. This feature can be enabled or disabled with jumper settings for every port
separately. Switch off the matrix. Remove the desired cards. Pinheads are behind of the TPS
connectors. To enable the remote powering function of the port place the jumper block onto all
the corresponding pinheads. Connect the external 12V DC 6,67A power adaptor to the card
separately. Finally, set the extenders’ desired power modes. To disable the remote powering
function for a port remove the jumper block from the corresponding pinheads.
Jumper Settings
Place the jumper blocks onto all the pinheads
of those units which you want to be powered
remotely. For disabling the remote powering
remove the jumper blocks and place them
onto the upper line pinheads only.
Read carefully all the detailed
instructions about remote powering
devices! Never use remote powering with
third-party units!
AWG 26 cables are not recommended for
remote powering (reduce cable distances).
For more information please download
the User’s Manual of the MX-FR matrix
switchers.
Infra-Red (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).
The second emitter and detector pair can be ordered from Lightware separately.
IR extension is available only with point-to-point connection of the extenders.

** AWG 26 cables are not recommended with remote powering.
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. To specify
the accurate extension distances, please also check the documentation of the connected
HDBaseT-compatible device.
CAT7 SFTP AWG23 cable is always recommended.
Bi-directional Pass-through Data Lines
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, IR, Ethernet source and sink devices can be
connected either to the TX or the RX.
Ethernet
The Ethernet port on the RX or on TX can be connected to a LAN hub, switch or router with a
LAN cable. The other side behaves as an Ethernet uplink port. Extenders support 10/100 Mbit/
sec data transfer rate. The direct access is also supported with cross-link cable. The Ethernet
port has auto crossover function. It is able to recognize and handle both cable types: patch
and cross TP cables.
RS-232
Third party devices with standard RS-232 port are supported as the extenders work in pass-
through mode. TX and RX provide 9-pole D-sub female connector. Use straight-serial cable
to connect a DTE device to an extender and use a cross serial cable in case of pairing a DCE
device to the other TPS extender. The RS-232 options – the baud rate and the parity bits are
set on the third party devices and it can be anything. The extenders support any kind of serial
settings.
Please read the user’s manual of the RS-232 device to get its type. The extenders work
as DCE devices.
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 on the setting which 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 present, the units change to LPPF mode automatically.
Low Power Partial Functionality (LPPF): Only Ethernet, 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.
TPS mode between an extender and a port of a matrix board
If an extender and a TPS matrix board
are paired the board forces the extender
to use the settings of the matrix. The
extender’s TPS mode switch has no effect.
Always use the Auto mode with
third-party devices!
