Power Supply Options
The transmitter 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.
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 not able to send/receive power to/
from the SW4-TPS-TW240 transmitter.
CATx
DVI
Connect the TPS output port to the receiver (or the Matrix input board) by a
CATx cable via the
TPS output
port.
HDMI
DP
DVI-I
C
onnect the transmitter and the sources using the inputs and VGA /
DisplayPort / HDMI / DVI-I / cables.
Audio

to the audio input port by an audio cable.
LAN
Optionally connect the transmitter to a LAN in order to control the device.
GPIO
Optionally connect a controller/controlled device (e.g. relay box) to the
GPIO port.
RS-232
Optionally connect a serial device to the RS-232 port of the transmitter.
IR
Optionally for Infrared extension:
Connect the IR emitter to the IR OUT port of the transmitter, and/or
Connect the IR detector to the IR IN port of the transmitter.
Power
Powering on the devices is recommended to do as the final step during the
installation. Please see the
Power Supply Options
section for the details.

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.
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.
