Important safety instructions
Please read and keep the information in the attached safety instructions supplied with the
product before start using the device.
Introduction
The Lightware HDMI- and DVI-HDCP-TP series extenders can transmit HDMI or DVI-D
signals over two CATx cables. They fully support HDMI 1.3a signals with or without HDCP
encryption. Most of the models support RS-232 transmission and HDMI-TP-RX100RA
de-embeds digital audio from the HDMI stream and outputs via its S/PDIF connector.

Quick Start Guide
Powering on (only on RX/TX100-200 series)
1. After the system is complete, firstly connect the adaptor to the extenders then to the
socket.
2. At first the extenders display the firmware version using the the upper two LEDs. The
following example shows this process for a firmware version of 1.2.4:
ƒ RED blinks once, short pause.
ƒ GREEN blinks two times, short pause.
ƒ GREEN blinks four times.
3. The attached source(s) and monitor(s) can be powered on.
 If none of the LEDs light up upon power-up, the unit is most likely damaged and further
use is not advised. Please contact support@lightware.eu.
Adjusting the input equalization (only on RX100-200 series)
The amplitude of high frequency signals decreases after they pass through long distances
in copper cables. To counter-act this phenomenon, the receiver amplifies the signal while
maximizing the amplitude at a certain level. Two equalization modes are available: automatic
and manual. The mode can be toggled by pressing the EQ MODE button.
 It is always advised to use the automatic mode and only adjust the equalization
manually if the auto mode does not give a good result.
Serial Port (only on RX/TX100-200 series)
A serial device can be connected to the RS-232 port to use the serial data pass-through
function of the RX-TX pairs. This option is useful e.g. to connect touch panel control devices.

 The extenders do not have networking capabilities. Do not connect the RJ45 ports
of the extenders to a Local Area Network device or a PC. Doing so may damage the
unit!
EDID memory (valid for TX100 and TX200R devices)
ƒ Address #00: copy of the last attached monitor's EDID from local HDMI/DVI OUT.
ƒ Address #01..#49: factory preset EDIDs suporting various embedded audio formats.
ƒ Address #51..#99: user programmable EDID memory.
Selecting and EDID
1. Turn the EDID ADDRESS rotary switches to the desired position.
Use a flat head screwdriver to change the address. The left
switch sets the tens value, the right switch gives the ones value
of the EDID.
 Avoid the use of keys, coins, knives and other sharp objects.
2. The EDID Status LEDs provide feedback in SECONDARY (BLINKING) mode.
3. Now the selected EDID is reported at the HDMI/DVI INPUT.
Learning EDID
1. To see EDID status, check if the Status LEDs are in SECONDARY (BLINKING) mode.
2. Turn the EDID ADDRESS rotary switches to the desired position (addresses #51..#69).
3. Connect the sink device to the HDMI/DVI OUT.
4. Press and hold the LEARN button for approximately 2 seconds.
5. The EDID Status LEDs provide feedback in SECONDARY (BLINKING) mode:
ƒ Red blinking: the learn process failed from DDC OUT.
ƒ Green blinking: the learn process was successful from DDC OUT.
 RX100R, RX100RA and RX200R devices contains EDID management feature with lower
possibilites but the process is the same as above described.

Remote powering
 Please check the DC power settings in TP extenders before they are switched on.
In the case of wrong jumper setting devices may be damaged!
Power source can be set by jumper for local supply with plug-in adapter, or for remote supply
through TP CATx cable. The extenders are able to receive and/or send power.

When the remote power feature is used, check the settings both ends of the TP line.
 Never send power towards Lightware Matrix IO cards from TP extender units.
 '12V DC POWER ADAPTOR' is the default setting of the jumper. If no jumper is placed
on the pins, the extender cannot be powered on.
