4. Device Concept
4.15. Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) Feature
DIFFERENCE:
This feature is available only in WP-UMX-TPS-TX130-Plus-US, UMX-TPS-TX140-Plus and
UMX-TPS-TX140K models from FW pack v1.3.0b11.
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a bi-directional communication, defined in the HDMI standard. This
feature is for remote control of the source and sink devices in the A/V system.
UMX-TPS-TX140-Plus model is able to send and receive CEC commands, on HDMI IN (I2) port towards the
source, on HDMI OUT (O1) port towards the sink. For more information about sending CEC messages, see
GPIO Port Configuration section.
CEC has a dedicated pin in the HDMI connector. DVI connector does not contain this pin, so the CEC
transmission brakes when HDMI-DVI connector or adapter is in the signal route.
CEC Application Example
When active signal is detected on HDMI in, the transmitter sends a CEC message automatically to the HDTV
to wake up.
Create an event in the event manager:
▪ Set as a condition, that the signal is present on the output (O1),
▪ Set as an action then send a CEC command 'Image view on' O1 output port.
See the details about the Event Manager settings in the

ATTENTION! The CEC command sending over TPS interface is working only with CEC-transparent
TPS receivers. For the details please download our Using CEC in Lightware Devices document on

4.16. Further Built-in Features
4.16.1. Transmitter Cloning – Configuration Backup and Restore
The transmitter (configuration) cloning of a UMX-TPS-TX100 series transmitter or wallplate 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.
See more information about the settings in the
Configuration cloning can be also done by LDU2 over Command Line for many devices in one step, see the
Restore section.
4.17. Software Control Modes
User has more possibilities to control the device besides the front panel buttons. The following list contains
the software control modes:
Lightware Device Controller (LDC) - you can connect to the device via our control software using Ethernet
▪
or RS-232 interface and control or configure the device as you wish. For the details see the
Control - Lightware Device Controller
▪ LW2 protocol commands: you can configure the device by using the reduced command set of LW2
protocol. For more details see the
▪ LW3 protocol commands: you can configure the device by using the full-range command set of LW3
protocol. For more details see the
