available for future reference.
Introduction
Lightware's UMX-TPS-TX100 devices transmit universal video at a resolution up to 4K, audio
and control up to 170 m distance over a single CAT cable. The products have HDBaseT
integration with additional Lightware developments. The transmitter was designed for digital
and analog video and audio signals e.g. DVI, VGA, HDMI1.4 and DP 1.1 with analog stereo
audio from local inputs or embedded 7.1 HBR audio and to handle HDCP encryption.
The UMX-TPS-TX140-Plus model offers advanced control features: 100 available event slots;
support RS-232 protocol for communication and control of third party devices like VC codec
- this allows the Cisco Room Kit login on RS-232–USB connection; support to receive CEC
commands for control of displays and Lightware Event Manager to automate room actions;
support to send CEC commands on HDMI ports for control of other devices; support true
Infrared messages using HEX codes to control TVs, media players and other devices with
IR emitters.
Compatible Devices
The transmitters are compatible with other Lightware TPS
devices, matrix TPS and TPS2 boards, 25G boards, as
well as third-party HDBaseT

extenders, displays, but not
compatible with the phased out TPS-90 extenders.

Power Supply Options
The transmitters can be powered:
Locally with the supplied 12V DC adaptor or Lightware's rack mountable PSU, or
Remotely by a PoE-compatible power injector, like Lightware's TPS-PI-1P1.
Powering by a matrix board over the TPS (CATx) cable. Output board needs to be
powered by an external PSU.

UMX-TPS-TX100 transmitters are PoE-compatible and can receive power over the TPS
line. The TPS-TX/RX95 extenders are not PoE-compatible thus not able to send/receive

Mounting
To mount the device Lightware supplies optional accessories for different usage. There are
two kinds of mounting kits with similar fixing method. The transmitter has two mounting holes
with inner thread on the bottom side. Fasten the device by the screws enclosed with the
accessory.
Under-desk double mounting kit
The Under-desk double mounting kit makes it easy to mount a single device on any flat
surface, e.g. furniture. 1U high rack shelf provides mounting holes for fastening two half-rack
or four quarter-rack sized units. Pocket-sized devices can also be fastened on the shelf. To
order mounting accessories please contact sales@lightware.com.
Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.
The transmitter is half-rack sized.
