3. Product Overview
3.10.4. GPIO Interface
The GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) port is a multifunctional input/output interface to control the
transmitter or third-party devices and peripherals. You can establish connection between the controller/
controllable device and the transmitter by the 8-pole Phoenix connector. Seven pin's direction is configurable
independently based on needs of the application.

The Concept
Ceiling lamp is turned off by Relay 1 and projection screen is rolled down by Relay 2 when signal received
from the PC over the VGA input. Both relays are controlled by the GPIO port.
Settings of the Transmitter
For Relay 1: create an event in Event manager: when signal is present on Input 1 (I1) then set GPIO pins
▪
to low level for Relay 1 opening. Also create another event when signal is not present on Input 1 (I1)
then set GPIO pins to high level for Relay 1 closing.
For Relay 2: create an event in Event manager when signal is present on Input 1 (I1) then set GPIO pins
▪
to high level for Relay 2 closing. Also create another event when signal is not present on Input 1 (I1)
then set GPIO pins to low level for Relay 2 opening.
When the PC starts to play the video presentation, the signal is received over the VGA input so GPIO pins
send signal to Relay 1 to open which results turning off the lights. Furthermore GPIO pins also send signal
to Relay 2 to close and the projection screen is rolled down. When the presentation is ended, signal ceases
on the VGA input, so GPIO pins send signal to Relay 1 to close which results turning on the lights and sends
signal to Relay 2 to open so projection screen returns to its enclosure.
ATTENTION! Please always check the electrical parameters of the devices what you want to control. The
maximum current of one GPIO pin is 30 mA, the maximum total current for the seven pins is 180 mA.
See the LDC settings for GPIO port in the
in the Event Manager section.

3.11. Further Built-in Features
3.11.1. Automatically Launched Actions – The Event Manager
The Event Manager feature means that the device can sense changes on its ports and is able to react
according to the pre-defined settings. Lightware Device Controller contains a user-friendly software tool and
allows to create Events by defining a Condition and an Action.

3.11.2. Transmitter Cloning – Configuration Backup and Restore
The transmitter (configuration) cloning of a HDMI-TPS-TX200 series transmitter is a simple method that
eliminates the need to repeatedly configure certain devices to have identical (non-factory) settings. If the
devices are installed in the same type of system multiple times then it is enough to set up only one device to
fit the user's needs and then copy those settings to the others, thus saving time and resources.

The firmware of the Lightware TPS devices can be upgraded individually by Lightware Device Updater (LDU)
software. HDMI-TPS-TX200 series transmitters contain a feature which allows having a faster and more
comfortable firmware upgrade process. When the firmware of the connected extenders has to be upgraded
the TPS connection is necessary towards the extenders – nothing else. The LDU will find the connected
devices and can upgrade them.
The upgrade process is almost the same as in the case of the usual upgrade process. See the details of the
process in the
