Please read the supplied safety instruction document before using the product and keep it 

available for future reference.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Lightware SW4-TPS-TX240 transmitter. The product has HDBaseT

TM

 

integration with additional Lightware developments. The device transmits DP / HDMI / DVI 

digital video signal up to 4K resolution, audio and control up to 170 m distance over a single 

CAT cable (DP signal is converted to HDMI).

Compatible Devices

The transmitters are compatible with other Lightware TPS 

devices,  matrix  TPS  and  TPS2  boards,  25G  boards,  as 

well as third-party HDBaseT

TM

 extenders, displays, but not 

compatible with the phased out TPS-90 extenders.

Power Supply Options

The transmitter can be powered:

 

ƒ

Locally with the supplied 12V DC adaptor or Lightware’s rack mountable PSU, or

 

ƒ

Remotely by a PoE-compatible power injector, like Lightware’s TPS-PI-1P1.

 

ƒ

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

Optionally for audio extension: connect the audio source (e.g. media player)  

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:

 

ƒ

Connect the IR emitter to the IR OUT port of the transmitter, and/or

 

ƒ

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.

Locking DC plug

Twist 90° clockwise to lock.

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.
