Introduction Lightware's universal Transmitter switchers exploit SDVoE technology and USB-C connectivity for a simplified extension of up to 100m of 4K video, audio, control signals and power from a single source to multiple destinations through 10G Ethernet networks, providing meeting participants with easy host switching, video resolution capabilities up to 4K@60Hz at 4:4:4, as well as comprehensive and secure Ethernet features. The Transmitters are featured with audio de-embedding function via the 5-pole Phoenix® Combicon analog audio ports. Beyond the benefits of sending high-resolution video over long distances, the Transmitters are also capable of handling various connectivity standards, including bi-directional RS-232, GPIO and OCS as well. The Gigabit Ethernet port is also a valuable addition, allowing users to connect an additional device to the network directly through the TPN extender.

See a few examples below of the most common assembling cases. Balanced output to balanced input Balanced output to balanced input Phoenix - 2x6.3 (1/4") TRS Phoenix cable - 2x XLR plugs 2 2 3 3 AUDIO Output Balanced output to unbalanced input Phoenix - 2x RCA Balanced output to unbalanced input Phoenix - 2x 6.3 (1/4") TS GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output Ports) The device has seven GPIO pins that operate at TTL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 digital signal levels and can be set to high or low level (Push-Pull). The direction of the pins can be input or output (adjustable). The signal levels are the following: Logic low level Logic high level Input voltage (V) Output voltage (V) Max. current (mA) 0 - 0.8 0 - 0.5 30 2 -5 4.5 - 5 18 Plug pin assignment 1-6: Configurable, 7: 5V (max. 500 mA); 8: Ground The recommended cable for the connectors is the AWG24 (0.2 mm2 diameter) or the generally used `alarm cable' with 4x0.22 mm2 wires. The maximum total current for the six GPIO pins is 180 mA, the max. supported input/ output voltage is 5V. RS-232 The switcher provides a 3-pole Phoenix® connector for bi-directional serial communication. The signal levels are the following: Logic low level Logic high level Output voltage (V) 3 - 15 -15 - 3 Plug pin assignment: 1: Ground, 2: TX data, 3: RX data 123 OCS (Occupancy) Sensor The switcher is supplied with a 3-pole Phoenix® connector (male), which is for connecting an OCS sensor. Plug pin assignment: 1: Configurable; 2: 24V (max. 50 mA); 3: Ground 123 The signal levels for the Pin 1 Input voltage (V) Max. current (mA) Logic low level 0 - 0.8 30 Logic high level 2 -5 18 ¢ The occupancy sensor connector and the GPIO port are not compatible with each other because of the voltage level difference, please do not connect them directly. Minimum CAT Cable Requirement Lightware highly recommends using CAT6a AWG24 or higher category 10G Ethernet cables for the TPN (SDVoE) connection between the transmitter and the receiver. Usage of e.g. AWG28 Ethernet cables may reduce the extension distance significantly. Firmware Update Lightware Device Updater (LDU2) is an easy and comfortable way to keep your device up to date. Establish the connection via one of the port of the network switch or directly the Gigabit Ethernet port of the extender. Download and install LDU2 software from the company's website, www.lightware.com, where you can find the latest firmware package as well.
