4. Operation of UMX-OPT-TX150R
WARNING! The values (enable / disable) of the HDCP input mode
and the NoSyncScreen functions (in the highlighted rows) can be
set for every input port separately during the normal operation.
The service mode set the value FOR ALL THE INPUT PORTS. The
value feedback LED shows enable value if the NoSyncScreen or
the HDCP is enabled on ANY input port.
INFO: The audio priority modes use the following abbreviations: E
Embedded, S – S/PDIF, A1 – Analog 1, A2 – Analog 2 audio input
port. For the detailed explanation of the Autoselect mode see
Autoselect Mode chapter.
Navigation in the Service Menu
The VIDEO SELECT button is the function select button and the AUDIO
SELECT button is the value select button in case of the UMX-OPT-TX150R.
After the entering the 1st menu item and the last saved value will be
selected.
INFO: The functions and the settings in the service menu can be
modified by Lightware Device Controller software or protocol
commands, as well. The last saved values mean the last saving by
any way, instead of the last saving by the service menu.
After every pressing of the function select button the next function will
be selected. (The value feedback LED shows the corresponding last
saved value.) The first menu item will be selected after the last one.
After every pressing of the value select button the next value will be
selected. The first value will be selected after the last one.
4.10.3. Saving in the Service Menu
The saving time is three seconds in case of the UMX-OPT-TX150R. In
the service menu the device saves every value changing after three
seconds automatically. If the device exits from service menu (because
of a hardware reset) before 3 seconds after a value changing the last
modification will be lost.
4.10.4. Exit from Service Menu
During the service menu the device is suspends its normal operation.
The signal transmission and the communication (USB, RS-232 control
and RS-232 pass-through) are out of work in this case. The only way to
restore the normal operation is a hardware reset. It can be performed
by pushing and releasing the Reset button on the rear side of the
device or just plugging out then plugging in the power supply. The
saved settings are stored in an external storage and the device keeps
that after reboot.

4.11. Remote Operation
UMX-OPT-TX150R can be controlled through various interfaces
remotely. This makes it possible to use functions that are not
accessible via the front panel. Also, this helps system integrators and
operators to control multiple devices in a big system through a single
user interface.
4.11.1. Control Interfaces
Audio
Users can connect to the transmitter through
▪ USB
Serial port (RS-232)
▪
After establishing connection, there is no difference between
connection types (except some rare cases, which are uniquely noted).

4.11.2. Multiple Simultaneous Connections
The transmitter allows simultaneous remote control over multiple
interfaces. USB and Serial connections can be used at the same time.
4.11.3. RS-232 Operation Modes
Serial Port Settings
UMX-OPT-TX150R uses RS-232 communication port. The device uses
standard RS-232 interface with the following default settings:
57600 Baud, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no parity
The serial port baud rate can be changed with the Baud Rate rotary
(addresses #1 .. #4) on the rear panel
or remotely by protocol command in case of #0 Baud Rate rotary state
(in Change RS-232 Baud Rate
There are two kinds of operations for the unit regarding the serial port:
you can control the unit via USB and serial port or use the bidirectional

serial link through the fiber optical cable with a compatible fiber optical
receiver.
Control Mode
In the first case the CPU in the transmitter can receive commands and
send responses either to and from the own serial port or to and from
the serial port on the receiver unit through the fiber optical cable.
Pass-Through Mode
In case of the second mode the serial connectors on the transmitter
and on the receiver are linked together through the fiber optical cable
Changing the Working Mode
Step 1. Turn the Baud Rate rotary switch to address #8
Step 2. Press and hold the Learn button for approximately 3 seconds.
(The addresses of EDID Memory rotary switches can be
anything.)
Step 3. The current status can be seen on the rear panel LED tower. If
the working mode is Pass-through the RS-232 LED is off. If the
working mode is Control the RS-232 LED lights continuously.

BAUD RATE
LEARN
Changing the working mode can be done by protocol command (see
details Set the RS-232 Operation Mode section).
INFO: UMX-OPT-TX150R stores the RS-232 working mode and
starts the saved one after reboot.
ATTENTION! The RS-232 settings – baud rate is included – are valid
for the Control and the Pass -through mode, as well. For Example if
the baud rate was changed from 57600 to 9600 in Control mode the
device sends commands only with 9600 baud rate in Pass -through
mode, as well.
Speed of the Serial Communication
Baud rate can be set in two ways:
Baud rate rotary is turned #0. In this case, the baud rate can be
▪
modified by protocol command. For details see
Baud Rate section.
▪ Baud rate can be also set on the rear panel by the baud rate
rotary. The rotary should turn #1- #4 and it applies pre-defined
baud rates. In this case, protocol commands have no effect on
the speed of the serial communication.
