5.5.5. TPS Mode Settings (TPSIN, TPSOUT)
The TPS working mode between the transmitter and the receiver parties is determined by the mode set in
them. Both parties influence on the setting which determines the final TPS transmission mode. The TPS
settings mode selection is available on the TPS port properties panel.
See more information about TPS modes in
5.5.6. PoE Setting (TPSIN, TPSOUT)
The matrix is able to supply (send remote power) devices through the TPS input and output ports which are
compatible with the PoE standard. The PoE feature can be also enabled or disabled in the port properties
window.
See more information about PoE feature in
5.5.7. Audio Options
The audio coming from the analog inputs can be assigned to any video input or any video output by a drop-
down menu. The input audio modes are valid if the output audio mode is set to Pass-through mode. The
output audio modes can override the input audio mode when it is Aux1...Aux4.
See more information about the audio options in
The audio output is determined by the setting of the both the input and the output port. The following table
shows the possible combinations:
Pass-through
Embedded Embedded
AUXn AUXn
Always Keep Audio Alive Option
Keeps HDMI and analog audio output alive to maintain audio transmission even when video is not available
at the output. If video signal is not present, a 480p black screen will be transmitted automatically.
INFO: When enabled, no signal mode is not available in test pattern generator.
5.5.8. Further Settings (HDMIOUT, TPSOUT)
HDMI mode: Auto / DVI / HDMI
The outgoing signal format can be selected by a drop-down menu.
HDCP: Auto / Always
The matrix forces the source sent the signal without encryption if the content allows when Auto mode is
selected.
Power 5V: Auto / Always on / Always off
The setting lets the source and the sink devices be connected – independently from the transmitted signal.

5.6. Diagnostic Tools
5.6.1. Cable Diagnostics
The cable diagnostics is a useful tool to determine any cable related issues in case of TPS connection.
The estimated cable length and the quality of the link are measured periodically and the diagnostic window
shows the values in real-time. If the green bars hit the first line in the middle they turn into red. It means
the number of the errors – during the extension – is higher than recommended. The link might be alive but
recovering of the received data is not guaranteed.
INFO: Each bar represents a differential line in the CATx cable. The inappropriate termination of the cable
usually causes high error rates. Check the cable terminations or change the cable.

Above displayed Video Bit Error Ratio (BER) means that on average there is 1 bad pixel after 10
which means the number of the bit errors is about 1 pixel in every 80 seconds at 1080p60 video signal.
INFO: You can find more details about maximum twisted pair cable distances in the
Pair Distances section.
