send

 SW4-TPS-TX240 transmitter is PoE-compatible and can receive power over the TPS line. The TPS-TX/RX95 extenders are not PoE-compatible, thus, they are not able to send/receive power to/from the SW4-TPS-TW240 transmitter.

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

1U high rack shelf

The Under-desk double mounting kit makes it easy to mount a single device on any flat

surface, e.g. furniture. The 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.

Locking DC plug Twist 90° clockwise to lock.

GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output Ports
The seven GPIO pins of the transmitter operate at TTL 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:

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. LDC software contains many useful built-in tools which can be used for signal analysis like the following:
Frame Detector
Lightware's Frame Detector function works like an input signal analyzer and makes it possible to determine the exact video format that is sent by the source, thus, helping identify many problems (e.g. timing parameter difference).

Test Pattern Generator
The output ports can send a special image towards the sink devices for testing purposes. The settings of the test pattern are available via LDC, see the available patterns below:

TPS Cable Diagnostics
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.

Types of IR Connectors (1/8" TRS / TS)

2 pole, 1 ring: IR transmitter

3 pole, 2 rings: IR receiver

For more information about audio cable wiring see the user's manual of the device or the Wiring Guide on our website www.lightware.com.

Restore Factory Default Settings
1. Keep the Show me button pressed for 10 seconds; after 5 seconds front panel LEDs start to blink but keep the buttons pressed; the LEDs start to blink faster 5 seconds later.
2. Release the button, then press it 3 times quickly; factory default settings are restored:

Above values are valid when the transmitter is powered by a local adaptor; distances may decrease depending on the powering mode (local or remote) and cable quality. To specify the accurate extension distances, please check the documentation of the connected HDBaseTcompatible device as well.  CAT7 SFTP AWG23 cable is always recommended.
