Wiring Guide for RS-232 Data Transmission
UMX-TPS-TX100 transmitters are built with 3-pole Phoenix connector. See the below
examples of connecting to a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) or a DTE (Data
Terminal Equipment) type device:
Port Diagram (of TX140 models)
Typical Application
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 followings:
Frame Detector
Lightware’s Frame Detector function works like an input signal analyzer and makes possible
to determine the exact video format that is sent by the source, thus helps to identify many
problems (e.g. timing parameter difference).
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 rst line
in the middle they turn into red. It means the number of
the errors – during the extension – is higher than the
recommended one. The link might be alive but recovering
of the received data is not guaranteed.
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:

* Long reach TPS mode supports pixel clock frequencies up to 148.5 MHz.
** If 4K video is selected to the output, analog audio cannot be embedded to the video stream
due to the capabilities of the video IC, thus the original audio stream is transmitted.
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 also check the documentation of the connected
HDBaseT-compatible device.
CAT7 SFTP AWG23 cable is always recommended.
Setting a Dynamic IP Address
1. Keep the Show me button pressed for 5 seconds; all front panel LEDs start to blink.
2. Release the button, then press it 3 times quickly. DHCP is now enabled.

Press the AUDIO SELECT and the SHOW ME together.
Video Input Selection
The desired video input can be selected by the VIDEO SELECT button on the front panel. The
selection order of the inputs depend on the model as follows:
TX120 models:
TX130 models:
TX140 / TX140-Plus models:
The input can be also selected by using LDC (Lightware Device Controller), sending a protocol
command, or using Autoselect.
Audio Input Selection
The desired audio input can be selected by the Audio select button on the front panel. The
selection order of the inputs depend on the model. The input can be also selected by using
LDC (Lightware Device Controller), sending a protocol command, or using Autoselect.

Wiring Guide on our website www.lightware.com/support/guides-and-white-papers.
GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output Ports
The device has seven GPIO pins which 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:
Input voltage (V) Output voltage (V) Max. current (mA)
Logical low level 0 - 0.8 0 - 0.5 30
Logical high level 2 -5 4.5 - 5 18
