Lightware SW4-OPT-TX240RAK Quick Start Manual page 2

Optical Extender Concept
SW4-OPT-TX240RAK has a multi-mode single fiber output interface which is able to transmit
different type of signals at the same time. The device accepts digital video (DP, HDMI, and
DVI-D) and analog audio sources (Jack and 5-pole Phoenix). The unit can be controlled over
LAN, RS-232 (3-pole Phoenix), and USB interfaces, and is able to control third-party devices
using the built-in GPIO ports. Besides of these the transmitter also has USB KVM function.
 One audio signal (original embedded or analog) and one video signal can be transmitted
via the optical output at the same time.

Compatible Devices
The transmitter is compatible with the following receivers and input boards:
ƒ HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RA receiver;
ƒ MX modular frames with MX-DVI-OPT-IB and MX-HDMI-OPT-IB cards.
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.com, install on a Windows PC or a macOS and connect to the
device via the Ethernet port.
 The IP address of the unit is static (default): 192.168.0.100., DHCP is disabled.
Set 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.
Fiber Optical Output Settings
ON: high-speed (AV signal) and low-speed (serial, USB) communication are transmitted.
STANDBY: only low-speed (serial, USB) communication is transmitted.

USB KVM Function
SW4-OPT-TX240RAK transmitter supports HID-compliant (Human Interface
Device) devices to transmit USB signal between the source and sink devices.
The transmitter connects to the controlled device (e.g. PC) and the controlling devices (e.g.
computer mouse, keyboard, touch panel) are connected to the receiver. USB KVM function
can be used in two different modes: Transparent and Composite mode.
Transparent mode
Device support Supports all HID-compliant
devices.
Driver software Driver for all connected USB
devices has to be installed on
the controlled computer.
