Introduction

Thank You for choosing Lightware's HDMI-3D-OPT series device. In the first chapter we would like to introduce the device highlighting the most important features in the below listed sections:

▶DESCRIPTION

BOX CONTENTS

▶COMPATIBLE DEVICES

FEATURES

▶MODEL COMPARISON OF THE TRANSMITTERS

▶TYPICAL APPLICATION

1.1. Description

HDMI-3D-OPT series transmitters and receivers extend HDMI 1.4, DVI 1.0, HDCP and bi-directional RS-232 signals over one multi-mode fiber and transmit video signal with embedded audio to a distance of up to 2500 meters.

The extender was designed to handle HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.1 digital video signals and analog stereo audio from local inputs or HDMI embedded audio up to eight-channel PCM or HBR audio. Analog audio is converted into digital format. The device has a local HDMI video output for monitoring. The video and the embedded audio of the local output is the same as the one transmitted via the OPT link. The HDMI-3D-OPT series extenders handles HDCP encryption.

Using the factory, custom or transparent EDID emulation the user can fix and lock EDID data on each input connector. Advanced EDID Management forces the required resolution from any video source and fixes the output format conforming to the system requirements. The unit offers bi-directional and transparent RS 232.

All devices can be mounted on a rack shelf or used standalone. HDMI-3D-OPT series extenders are compatible with both OPT series extenders and matrix switchers.

The device features Pixel Accurate Reclocking, a Lightware technology to eliminate jitter and skew generated by low quality sources and multiple daisy-chained devices.

Single fiber technology makes these units fully HDMI and HDCP compliant without a need of a second fiber cable or copper connections. The bi-directional communication required for HDCP handshaking is performed via the same fiber core that transmits the video signal.

Galvanic isolation between source and display helps avoiding ground loops and hum effects. No delay occurs in the signal during optical conversion, the video image is transported without frame latency. This feature is crucial in 3D applications and systems where audio is processed separately.

Model Denomination

1.2. Box Contents

1.4. Features

3D and 4K Support

High bandwidth allows extension of resolutions up to 4K and even 3D sources and displays are supported.

Signal Transmission up to 2500 m

Video and audio signal transmission (DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort, and RS-232) over one multi-mode fiber optical cable.

Deep Color Support and Conversion

It is possible to transmit the highest quality 36-bit video streams for perfect color reproduction.

Autoselect Function for Video Inputs

The Autoselect feature can sense the port status on the video input ports and select automatically one of them. Priority number can be set for each input port and the feature allows to set various modes for the automatic input selection (First detect, Last detect, Priority mode).

HDCP-compliant

The receiver fulfills the HDCP standard. HDCP capability on the digital video inputs can be disabled when non-protected content is extended.

Built-in Event Manager

The Event Manager tool takes care of all the necessary control in a smaller configuration by performing predefined actions in response to device status changes. Hence, in a less complex environment, there is no need to invest in additional control solutions, which makes the receiver the best choice for numerous applications.

Pixel Accurate Reclocking

Each output has a clean, jitter free signal, eliminating signal instability and distortion caused by long cables or connector reflections.

USB KVM

Connected USB HID devices (e.g. keyboard, mouse, USB HUB) are extended from transmitter to receiver thus a computer can be remote controlled.

Bi-directional RS-232 Pass-through

AV systems can also contain serial port controllers and controlled devices. Serial port pass-through supports any unit that works with standard RS-232.

GPIO Control Port

7 GPIO pins operating at TTL digital signal levels and can be controlled with both LW2 and LW3 commands.

1.5. Model Comparison of the Transmitters

3.7. Audio Interface

3.7.1. Audio Inputs and Modes - Transmitter

The transmitter can receive audio from two type of sources:

• Embedded (2x HDMI, 1x DP, 1x DVI-D);

• Analog audio sources (1x Jack and 1x 5-pole Phoenix).

The audio coming from the analog inputs can be assigned to any video input. The gain levels of the analog audio input and the volume of the analog audio output ports are adjustable.

Audio Embedding – Allowed Connections

When the desired video signal is selected, the audio of the transmitted signal can be:

• The audio of the original signal, or

• The analog audio signal

INFO: In case of SW4-OPT-TX240RAK model the audio of the HDMI 2 input can be embedded only in the original video stream. The audio of HDMI1 input cannot be mixed with the video of HDMI 2 input and vice versa.

3.7.2. Audio Outputs and Modes - Receiver

The receiver can transmit audio on three types of audio ports:

• Embedded (HDMI);
  • Digital audio (S/PDIF);
  • Analog balanced audio (5-pole Phoenix).

The digital audio signal coming from the the optical input port can be transmitted on any audio output ports: HDMI, S/PDIF, or the analog audio output port. The volume and balance levels are adjustable on the analog output port.

Supported Audio Formats

The table below shows the supported audio formats by output ports.

Audio formats	Audio outputs

    D --> F["HD TV"]
    B --> G["HDMI 3D OPT transceiver"]
    G --> H["HDMI 3D OPT RX150RA receiver"]

The Concept

Two audio source devices are connected to the transmitter: a Blu-ray player which has embedded digital audio on HDMI; and a media player which sends analog audio to the transmitter. On the receiver's side there is two audio source device: an HDTV which can receive digital audio on HDMI; and an audio amplifier which can receive analog or digital audio signals as well.

As the transmitter is able to embed the analog audio signal to the HDMI signal, the user can transmit the audio of the Blu-ray player or the audio of the media player as well.

INFO: One audio (embedded or analog) and one video signals can be transmitted via the optical output at the same time.

The receiver has built-in de-embedder function so the user can transmit audio signal to the audio amplifier and HDTV as well.

All related audio settings are available in the Lightware Device Controller software, see the Port Properties Windows section.

3.8. Video Interface

Transmitter

The video crosspoint settings can be controlled by any of the following ways:

• Pressing Video Select button on the device.
  • Using Lightware Device Controller (LDC),
• Sending LW2 or LW3 protocol commands, or
  • Using the Autoselect function.

INFO: The audio/video signal on the local HDMI output port is always the same as on the optical output port.

Direct Selection on SW4-OPT-TX240RAK Transmitter

Desired video input can be selected by the Video select button, the order is the following:

3.9. The Autoselect Feature

Beside of manual selecting of crosspoints you can choose the Autoselect option both in case of audio and video ports.

There are three types of Autoselect as follows.

• First detect mode: selected input port is kept connected to the output while it has an active signal.
• Priority detect mode: always the highest priority active input is selected to transmit.
• Last detect mode: always the last attached input is selected to transmit.

The Concept

If there is no other source connected to the transmitter, but the MacBook, DP input will be automatically switched to the optical output. If the MacBook and the PC are also connected to the transmitter, DVI-D input will be switched to the optical output. If the Blu-ray player is connected on the HDMI input of the transmitter, it will be switched to the optical output – independently of the presence of other video signals.

Settings

- Optical output: Set the Autoselect to Enabled. Set Autoselect mode to Priority detect. The priorities are the following (the lowest number means the highest priority): The priorities are the followings:

Source device Input port Priority
MacBook I1 (DP IN)	2
PC I4 (DVI-D IN)	1
Blu-ray player I2 (HDMI IN)	0

Priorities can be set in Lightware Device Controller software, see related settings in the Video Outputs and Digital Audio Outputs sections.

3.10. USB KVM Function

HDMI-3D-OPT-TX210RAK, SW4-OPT-TX240RAK, and the HDMI-3D-OPT-RX250RA extenders support HID-compliant (Human Interface Device) devices to transmit USB signal between the source and sink devices. The transmitter connects to the controlled device (e.g. PC) and the controlling devices (e.g. computer mouse, keyboard, touch panel) are connected to the receiver.

ATTENTION! Only HID-compliant devices are supported by the extenders. Non-HID devices (USB sticks, webcams, etc) will not be working with the extenders.

USB KVM function can be used in two different modes: Transparent and Composite mode. The following sections show the difference between the two modes:

Transparent Mode

Transparent mode is a simple USB data transmission between the extenders. The same data is transmitted on the TX side which is received on the RX side. The content of the transmitted packets are unknown to the Lightware infrastructure so that the data is not modified by any means during the transmission.

Key Features:

• Supports all HID-compliant devices.
- Driver software for all connected USB devices has to be installed on the controlled computer. When you switch a crosspoint between two sources, the connected mouse and keyboard will be detected as a new hardware in the operating system.

Composite Mode

The composite mode is an advanced data transmission method, recommended for most users. The devices use their own data packets during data transmission. Thus, the content of the transmitted packets is known to the Lightware infrastructure.

Key Features:

• Supports the following HID-compliant devices: computer mouse, keyboard built with 107 keys and/or specific multimedia keys.
• No driver software is needed for the connected devices. The operating system uses the driver of the extender to establish the connection for the USB devices.
• Supports the following HID-compliant devices: computer mouse, keyboard built with 107 keys and/or specific multimedia keys.
• No driver software is needed for the connected devices. The operating system uses the driver of the extender to establish the connection for the USB devices.

INFO: You can find the related settings for Lightware Device Controller software in the USB KVM section.

    HDMI-3D-OPT Series Transmitter -->|FIBER OPTICAL| HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RA Receiver
    HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RA Receiver -->|USB| Keyboard / Mouse

The Concept

The PC is connected to the transmitter with a USB cable. The signal is transmitted over the fiber optical line from the receiver which is connected to the controller devices (to the keyboard and the mouse) to the transmitter. The physical distance between the controlled PC and the controller devices can be up to 2500 meters.

    USB_HJB --> KeyboardandMouse
    USB_HJB --> DrawingTable
    HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RAReceiver --> FOCR_OPTICALUS3_USB

The Concept

Two devices are connected to the USB ports of the Receiver:

A Drawing table;

- A USB HUB which has four USB ports - a Keyboard and a Mouse are connected to the HUB.

The PC can be controlled by the keyboard and the mouse, as well as the drawing table is also working as an input device beside of them.

Settings:

• Keyboard and mouse (via the USB HUB): the devices need to be set to Composite mode. The extenders can handle both of them if the devices are HID-compliant computer mouse and/or keyboard built with 107 keys and/or specific multimedia keys.
• Drawing table: the device needs to be set to Transparent mode because this kind of devices may have special functions which cannot be supported by the composite mode.

All related settings are available in the LDC software, see the USB KVM section.

INFO: The extenders support up to 8 physical USB HUB ports.

3.11. Controlling Features

The interfaces of the HDMI-3D-OPT series extenders can be used to install the device at various points of a complex A/V system. Besides, the transmitter and the receiver are able to handle controlling functions. This section is about to present the possibilities through the control ports built-in the the extenders.

3.11.1. Serial Interface

INFO: Only HDMI-3D-OPT-TX210RAK and SW4-OPT-TX240RAK transmitters, and HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RA receiver have RS-232 interface.

Technical Background

Serial data communication can be established via the local RS-232 port (Phoenix connector) or via the optical line. The RS-232 ports – which are connected to the processor (CPU) – can be configured separately (e.g. if the Baud rales are different, the microcontroller does the conversion automatically between the ports). The RS-232 port can be switched to Control mode, Command injection mode, or can be Pass-through mode; see the following figure.

    style E fill:#ffc,stroke:#333
    style F fill:#fcc,stroke:#333
    style G fill:#cff,stroke:#333

The block diagram of the serial interface

The following settings are defined:

The Local serial port is in Control mode.

The Local serial port is in Pass-through mode.

The Local serial port is in Command Injection mode.

All settings are available in the LDC software, see settings in the RS-232 section.

Control Mode

The incoming data from the given port is processed and interpreted by the CPU. The mode allows to control the matrix directly. LW2 or LW3 protocol commands are accepted – depending on the current port setting.

Pass-through Mode

In pass-through mode, the given device forwards the data that is coming from one of its ports to another same type of port. The command is not processed by the CPU. Incomming serial data is forwarded from one port to another port inside the extender.

Command Injection Mode

INFO: HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RA receiver has no command injection mode.

In this mode, the extender works as a TCP/IP RS-232 bidirectional converter. The TCP/IP data signal is converted to RS-232 data and vice versa. TCP/IP port numbers are defined for the serial ports (optical link and local) for this purpose. E.g. the default Command Injection port number of the local RS-232 port is 8001. If data is coming from the optical interface which addresses to the port no. 8001, it will be transmitted to the Tx pin of the local RS-232 port. That also works in the opposite direction of course and the method is the same on the serial interface of the optical port as well.

RS-232 Signal Transmission - Example 1

    D --> G["Relay box"]
    D --> H["HDMI-3D-OPT-FX160RA receiver"]
    D --> I["Projector"]

The following ways are available for controlling the devices:
- The System controller can communicate with the Transmitter by LW2/LW3 protocol commands sent to the local IP:port address.
- The System controller can communicate directly with the Projector or an Extender via their IP:port address.
- The System controller can communicate directly with the RS-232 Relay box connected to the Transmitter. In this case, Command Injection mode has to be enabled on the local RS-232 port.
- The Transmitter can send a command (e.g. as an action by the Event Manager) to the IP:port address of the Projector or the Receiver by using LW3 protocol methods.

Command Sending

• You can send LW3 protocol commands to the 192.168.0.100:6107 port to control the transmitter.
• You can send LW2 protocol commands to the 192.168.0.100:10001 port to control the transmitter.
• You can send commands to the 192.168.0.100:8001 port to control the projector. This port number means the RS-232 interface of the optical output port (01).

INFO: Above values are examples and based on factory default settings.

INFO: Only SW4-OPT-TX240RAK model has Ethernet LAN port.

RS-232 Signal Transmission - Example 2

    B -->|HDMI 3D OPT TX210V/4K | D["FSOET OPTICAL"]
    D -->|RS-232| E["Projector"]

The Concept

You can control the Projector over the extenders with the System controller. The controller is connected to the local RS-232 port of the Transmitter which transmits the signal toward the Receiver over the fiber optical line. The Projector is connected to the local RS-232 port of the Receiver. The serial connection is bidirectional which means the controller gets back the responses of the projector.

In this case the RS-232 port of the transmitter and receiver either has to be set to Pass-through mode.

3.11.2. GPIO Interface

INFO: Only SW4-OPT-TX240RAK model has GPIO interface.

The GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) port is a multifunctional input/output interface to control the SW4-OPT-TX240RAK transmitter or third-party devices and peripherals. You can establish connection between the controller/controllable device and the transmitter by the 8-pole Phoenix connector. The derivation of the seven pin is configurable independently based on the purpose of the application.

GPIO Options - Example

    I --> J["FIBER OPTICAL"]
    J --> K["HDMI 3D OPT-RX15ORA receiver"]
    K --> L["HDMI OUT"]
    L --> M["Projection"]

The Concept

Ceiling lamp is turned off by Relay 1 and projection screen is rolled down by Relay 2 when signal received from the PC over the DVI-D input. Both relays are controlled by the GPIO port.

Settings of the Transmitter

• For Relay 1: create an event in Event Manager: when signal is present on Input 1 (I1) then set GPIO pins to low level for Relay 1 opening. Also create another event when signal is not present on Input 1 (I1) then set GPIO pins to high level for Relay 1 closing.
• For Relay 2: create an event in Event Manager when signal is present on Input 1 (I1) then set GPIO pins to high level for Relay 2 closing. Also create another event when signal is not present on Input 1 (I1) then set GPIO pins to low level for Relay 2 opening.

When the PC starts to play the video presentation, the signal is received over the DVI-D input so GPIO pins send signal to Relay 1 to open which results turning off the lights. Furthermore GPIO pins also send signal to Relay 2 to close and the projection screen is rolled down. When the presentation is ended, signal ceases on the DVI-D input, so GPIO pins send signal to Relay 1 to close which results turning on the lights and sends signal to Relay 2 to open so projection screen returns to its enclosure.

ATTENTION! Please always check the electrical parameters of the devices what you want to control. The maximum current of one GPIO pin is 30 mA, the maximum total current for the seven pins is 180 mA.

See the LDC settings for GPIO port in the GPIO section. See also the details about the Event Manager settings in the Event Manager section.

3.12.2. Advanced EDID Management

Factory Preset EDIDs

The factory EDIDs (F1-F136) are factory preprogrammed and cannot be modified. These are the most common resolutions. They are specially provided to force graphic cards to output only the exact pixel resolution and refresh rate.

Universal EDID allows multiple resolutions including all common VESA defined resolutions. The use of universal EDID is recommended for fast and easy system setup.

Sources and Destinations

The EDID memory consists of four parts:

• Factory EDID list shows the pre-programmed EDIDs (F1-F136).
• Dynamic EDID list shows the display device connected to the device's outputs. The unit stores the last display devices' EDID on either output, so there is an EDID shown even if there is no display device attached to the output port at the moment.
• User memory locations (U1 - U14 for the transmitter; U1 - U15 for the receiver) can be used to save custom EDIDs.
• Emulated EDID list shows the currently emulated EDID for the inputs. The source column displays the memory location that the current EDID was routed from.

The source reads the EDID from the Emulated EDID memory on the INPUT port. Any EDID from any of the User/Factory/Dynamic EDID lists can be copied to the user memory.

There are two types of emulation: static and dynamic.

• Static EDID emulation: an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list is selected. Thus, the Emulated EDID remains the same until the user emulates another EDID.
• Dynamic EDID emulation: it can be enabled by selecting D1 or D2 EDID memory. The attached monitor's EDID is copied to the input; if a new monitor is attached to the output, the emulated EDID changes automatically.

See more information about the settings in the EDID Menu section.

3.12.3. Extender Cloning - Configuration Backup and Restore

graph LR
    A["Input Device"] --> C["Laptop"]
    C --> D["Output Device 1"]
    C --> E["Output Device 2"]

The configuration cloning of HDMI-3D-OPT series devices is a simple method that eliminates the need to repeatedly configure certain devices to have identical (non-factory) settings. If the devices are installed in the same type of system multiple times then it is enough to set up only one device to fit the user's needs and then copy those settings to the others, thus saving time and resources.

See more information about the settings in the Configuration Cloning (Backup Tab) section.

Step 4. Set the desired value and operator, then press the Apply button to store settings.

The Link Tool

The new interface allows creating more actions to the same condition. In that case, a condition can trigger more actions. To set such an Event, the Link tool has been introduced.

Step 1. Click on the Edit button of the desired Event; the Event editor is displayed.
Step 2. The wizard mode is displayed as default, press the Link button.
Step 3. All the saved Events are analyzed and the conditions are listed (it takes some seconds to finish). The Show advanced expressions option allows showing the exact path and set the value of the given property

Step 4. Select the desired Condition and press the Apply button to store the settings.

5.9.2. Special Tools and Accessories

The Name of the Event

The name of a port can be changed by typing the new name and clicking the Set button. The following characters are allowed when naming:

Letters (A-Z) and (a-z), numbers (0-9), special characters: hyphen (-), underscore (_), and space ().

Enable or Disable an Event

The set Event can be enabled or disabled in the Event list, or directly in the Event editor window by setting the tick mark beside the name.

Testing the Condition

When the desired Condition is arranged, the setting can be tested. The Event list and the Event editor contains a small panel that shows if the set condition is detected and how many times. The Counter can be reset by the button in Event editor. If the Condition is true, the detected mark turns green for two seconds and the Counter is increased.

Testing the Action

The method is the same as testing the Condition, but in this case, the Action can be triggered manually by pressing the Test button.

TIPS AND TRICKS: The Test button is also placed on the Action panel in the Event list. Thus, you can check the Actions without opening the Event editor.

Delay the Action

In most cases the Action is performed immediately after the Condition is detected. But sometimes a delay is necessary between the Condition and the Action. Therefore, the new Event manager contains the Delay panel which allows that feature with below settings:

• No delay: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched.
• Simple delay: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval.
• Still exists: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time int
• Continuously exists: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval only if the Condition has been existing continuously.

TIPS AND TRICKS: Show advanced expressions option is a useful tool when you look for the path or value of a property. The option is available in the Event list window or when Link tool is used.

Step 2. The Open dialog box will appear. Select the desired folder and file, then press the Open button.

5.9.5. Event Creating - Example

The following example shows you on a real-life situation how to set up an Event.

The Concept

The SW4-OPT-TX240RAK is connected to a projector by the optical output port. The transmitter is also connected to the projector by the RS-232 port and can send commands via the serial line.

The task is to turn on the projector when signal is detected on the optical output port.

CONDITION

Signal is detected

on the optical output

ACTION

Turn on the projector

RS-232 Settings

Make sure that the serial line is established between the transmitter and the projector. Check that the RS-232 settings of the transmitter is set exactly the same which required for the projector: baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits. The transmitter needs to be set to: Control protocol: LW3; and RS-232 mode: Pass-through. See the relevant LDC settings in the RS-232 section.

Setting the Event

You can create the Event in the Wizard in few simple steps:

Step 1. Set the condition.

Select the required parameters to set the condition:

• Category: Video;
  • Expression: Signal is detected on a port;
• Port 01

Click on the Apply button to complete the procedure. When it is done, the condition appears on the upper side in textual and LW3 command format as well.

Step 2. Set the action.

If the condition is fulfilled, the following action needs to be launched: the receiver sends a command to the projector over the serial line:

- Power on - the required command which is accepted by the projector: PWRO

For this instance the command has to be closed with the characters so they need to be escaped. You can use the following format for escaping:

...

In the current case the command is: PWR0\x0d\x0a

Select the required parameters to set the action:

• Category: RS-232;
  • Expression: Send RS-232 message;
• Port P1;
  Message: PWR0\x0d\x0a

Step 3. Enable the Event.

Select the E1 enabled pipe in upper left corner to set the Event as launched.

INFO: If you do not find the required category/expression/etc what you need, choose the Advanced mode in the Wizard where the entire LW3 structure tree is available. For example instead of signal detection you can set a specified resolution or color range either as a condition.

5.11. Configuration Cloning (Backup Tab)

Backup tab in Settings menu

Configuration cloning of Lightware LW3 devices is a simple method that eliminates the need to repeatedly configure certain devices to have identical (non-factory) settings. If the devices are installed in the same type of system multiple times then it is enough to set up only one device to fit the user's needs and then copy those settings to the others, thus saving time and resources.

5.11.1. Steps in a Nutshell

Installing multiple devices with the same customized configuration settings can be done in a few easy steps: Step 1. Configure one device with all your desired settings using the LDC software.

Step 2. Backup the full configuration file to your computer.
Step 3. If needed, make some modifications to the configuration file using a text editor (e.g. Notepad). E.g. modifying the static IP address is necessary when DHCP is not used.
Step 4. Connect to the other device which has to be configured and upload (restore) your configuration file.
Step 5. Done! You can have as many totally identical, customized devices as you like.

7.1. Overview

Lightware 3 (LW3) protocol is used by the 25G hybrid matrix, the MODEX family and the new series of Lightware TPS and OPT products, including the HDMI-3D-OPT series extenders. The protocol (LW3) is ASCII-based and all commands are terminated with a carriage return (Cr, 'r') and line feed (Lf, 'n') pair. It is organized as a tree structure that provides outstanding flexibility for implementing a human readable, but programmatically still ease to parse, which is suitable for different products with a different feature list. In order to implement a flexible, easy-to-use protocol that is straightforward to adapt to new devices and provides outstanding scalability and sustainability, we decided to organize all settings, parameters and properties of the device to a tree structure with 'nodes', 'properties' and 'methods'.

7.1.1. Elements of the Tree Structure

ATTENTION! All names and values are case-sensitive. The space character is replaced by the '•' character in the elements and commands descriptions.

7.1.1.1. Node

• The basic building block of the tree structure is the 'node'.
- The node can have multiple child nodes, but only one parent.
• The tree has only one root the 'root node'.
- The leaves of the tree are also nodes, which do not have child nodes.
• The nodes are separated by a slash (/') character
- All the slashes are 'right slashes', no backslash is used.
- The identifier of the root node is a slash (')
- The node name can contain the elements of the English alphabet and numbers.
• Recommended convention for case sensitivity:

• Fix nodes (that cannot be altered) are capitalized.
  — User created nodes can contain both lowercase and capital letters, no restrictions.
  The path of a node has to contain all parent nodes from the root node.

Format: (the root node): nX•/

Path: nX•/[nodeName]/[nodeName]/[nodeName]

Legend:

n: node
'X' can be:
∵: default for a node.
'm': this is a manual for the node.
'E': this is an error message for the node.
's': this is a symlink node.
V: this node has virtual children.
'r': this is a remote node.

INFO: All parent nodes must be listed in the path of a node.

Following example presents the structure of the tree traversal:

graph TD
    A[" "] --> B["node1n-7"]
    A --> C["node2"]
    A --> D["node3"]
    B --> E["node11"]
    B --> F["node12"]
    C --> G["node21"]
    C --> H["node211"]

Tree structure of the nodes

Path of the nodes:

n-/node1

n-/node1/node11

n-/node1/node12

n-/node2

n-/node2/node21

n-/node2/node21/node211

n-/node3

7.1.1.2. Property

The 'property' in the LW3 protocol is basically a leaf, which has a well-defined value.

• A property has a value.

• A property cannot have child nodes or child properties. It is always a leaf.
- A node can have any number of properties (may not have any).
- A property is referenced with a dot ('.) after the node name.
- The properties' name can contain the elements of the English alphabet, numbers and underscore ('_) character.
- By convention, properties are beginning with a capital letter, all other characters are lowercase ones. In the case of compound words, all words are beginning with a capital letter (CamelCase).
• The value of the property can contain any readable ASCII character.
• A property can be read-only or read/write.

Format: pX•/[nodeName].[propertyName]=[propertyValue]

Legend:

p: property

'X' can be:
'Y': if the property is read-only.
'w': if the property is readable, writable.
'm': the manual of the property.
'E': error message for the property.
V: virtual node property: contains a node path to a node which will be linked to the property's parent node.

Example:

The following two ones are read-only properties:

pr•/node1/node12.ReadOnlyProperty=value1

pr•/.DeviceName=25G Hybrid Device

The following two ones are read-write properties:

pw•/node1/node12.ReadWriteProperty=value2

pw•/.DeviceNickName=John

7.1.1.3. Method

The 'method' in the LW3 protocol is also a leaf. It cannot have a value, such as the properties, but it can be invoked with a parameter with the help of a special 'CALL' command.

• A method cannot have child nodes or child methods. It is always a leaf.
• A node can have any number of methods (may not have any).
• A method is referenced with a colon (‘:’) after the node.
• The methods' name can contain the elements of the English alphabet, numbers and underscore (_) character.
• By convention, methods are beginning with lowercase letter. In case of compound words, the very first letter is lowercase, and the first letter of each other words are capitalized (lowerCamelCase).
• The parameter of the method can contain any readable ASCII character.
• The method always has a return 'state' if the method could be executed. The state could be either 'OK' or 'FAILED'.
• The method does not necessarily have a return 'value'. If it does, it can contain additional information, which is always specific to the current case (the return value can specify why the execution failed).
• When the method cannot be executed (e.g. the parameter list is illegal), there is an error message.

Format: mX•/[nodeName];[methodName]=[returnValue]

Legend:

m: method
'X' can be:
'O': when the execution of the method was successful (OK).
'F': when the execution of the method failed.
'm': the manual of the method.
'E': error message for the method.

Example:

m0•/node1/node12:method1

m0•/MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:switch

mE•%E001:Syntax error

mm•/MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:lockSource:Lock one or more source ports

1. LW3 Programmer's Reference HDMI-3D-OPT series - User's Manual 52

7.1.2. Escaping

Property values and method parameters can contain characters that are used as control characters in the protocol. They must be escaped. The escape character is the backslash ('') and escaping means injecting a backslash before the character that should be escaped (like in C language).

Control characters are the followings: # % ()

Example:

The original text: John●(Doe).●#3;●5%2=1●node1\node11

The escaped text: John● Doe .●#3:●5%2=1●node1\node11

7.1.3. Error Messages

There are several error messages defined in the LW3 protocol, all of them have a unique error number.

Format: XE●[primitive]●%EYYY:●[Error message]

Legend:

'X' can be:

- syntax error. Cannot parse the command at all.

'n': node error.

'p': property error

'm': method error.

YYY: error code, which can be one of the followings:

YYY: error code Name Default text
000 Lw3ErrorCodes_None
001 Lw3ErrorCodes_Syntax Syntax error
002 Lw3ErrorCodes_NotFound Not found
003 Lw3ErrorCodes_AlreadyExists Already exists
004 Lw3ErrorCodes_InvalidValue Invalid value
005 Lw3ErrorCodes_IllegalParamCount	Illegal parameter count
006 Lw3ErrorCodes_IllegalOperation	Illegal operation
007 Lw3ErrorCodes_AccessDenied	Access denied
008 Lw3ErrorCodes_Timeout	Timeout
009 Lw3ErrorCodes_CommandTooLong	Command too long
010 Lw3ErrorCodes_InternalError	Internal error
011 Lw3ErrorCodes_NotImplemented	Not implemented

7.1.4. Prefix Summary

The following prefixes are defined in the LW3 protocol:

'n-': a node,

'nE': an error for a node,

'nm': a manual for a node,

'pr': a read-only property,

'pw': read-write property,

'pE': an error for the property,

'pm': a manual for the property,

'm-': a method,

'mO': a response after a success method execution,

'mF': a response after a failed method execution,

'mE': an error for a method,

'mm': a manual for a method.

7.2. The Tree Structure of the Transmitter

INFO: The tree structure is available in the Advanced View Window of LDC.

The /MEDIA node is used by the LDC to connect input ports to output ports on different layers. Each subnode of /MEDIA is representing a layer, e.g. video (/MEDIA/VIDEO), audio (/MEDIA/AUDIO) or RS-232 (/MEDIA/UART). Each layer has a crosspoint to define connections between the ports associated with the layer, all of them are represented by a specific node. E.g. the video layer node is /MEDIA/VIDEO: under the video layer node, the video crosspoint node (XP) and the video ports (11, 12, ...) are located.

7.3. LW3 Commands

7.3.1. Get Command

The 'GET' command can be used to get the child nodes, properties and methods of a specific node. It can also be used to get the value of a property.

The Response Format

The first two characters of a response unambiguously identify the type of the element that the response line concerns. The first character is the type of the element (node, property or method), the second is for miscellaneous information (e.g. read/write rights).

The defined prefixes are:

'n-': node

'pr': property - only readable

'pw': property - writable, readable

'm-': method executable

After the prefix, the response contains the full path of the node, property or method after a space character.

Get All Children of a Node

Get all of the child nodes of a parent node, with one GET command.

Command format: GET•[nodePath]

Response format: n-•[nodePath]

Example:

GET /MEDIA

< n-/MEDIA/VIDEO

< n-/MEDIA/AUDIO

< n-/MEDIA/UART

< n-/MEDIA/KM

< n- /MEDIA/GPIO

n-/MEDIA/ETHERNET

Get All Properties and Methods of a Node

Get all properties and methods of a node, with one GET command and asterisk character.

Command format: GET•[nodePath].*

Response format: (for properties)

pX•[nodePath].[propertyName]=[parameter]

Legend:

X can be:

'r': read-only

read-write

Response format: (for methods)

m-•[nodePath]:[methodName]

Example:

GET /EDID.*
< pr /EDID.EdidStatus=D1:E1;D1:E2;D1:E3;D1:E4
< m-/EDID:switch
< m- /EDID:switchAll
< m- /EDID:copy
< m-/EDID:delete
< m- /EDID:reset

Get All Child Nodes, Properties and Methods of a Node

Command format: GETALL•[nodePath]

Response format: (for nodes)

n-•[nodePath]

Response format: (for properties)

pX•[nodePath].[propertyName]=[parameter]

Legend:

X can be:

'r': read-only

read-write

Response format: (for methods)

m-•[nodePath]:[methodName]

1. LW3 Programmer's Reference HDMI-3D-OPT series - User's Manual 54

Example:

GETALL /EDID

< m-/EDID:switch
< m-/EDID:switchAll
< m-/EDID:copy
< m-/EDID:delete
< m-/EDID:reset

7.3.2. Set Command

The setter command can be used to modify the value of a property.

Command format: SET•[nodePath].[propertyName]=[newPropertyValue]

Response format:

The response for setting a property to a new value is the same as the response for the 'GET' command. The value in the response is the new value if the execution of the 'SET' command was successful, otherwise the unmodified 'old value' with an error message.

pw•[nodePath].[propertyName]=[newPropertyValue]

Example:

SET /SYS/NB/RS232/LOCAL.RS232Mode-1

< pw /SYS/MB/RS232/LOCAL.Rs232Mode-1

Error response format:

If there were errors during setting a property, an error message follows the unmodified property value.

pE•[nodePath].[propertyName]=[umodifiedValue]•%EXXX:Error message

Legend: XXX: error number.

Examples:

SET /SYS/MB/RS232/LOCAL.Rs232Mode=11
< pE /SYS/MB/RS232/LOCAL.Rs232Mode %E005:Invalid value

SET /SYS/MB/RS232/LOCAL.ActiveProtocol-LW3

< pE %E004:Writing read-only property

7.3.3. Invocation

A method can be invoked with the help of the 'CALL' command.

Command format: CALL•[nodePath]:methodName

Response format:

The response for a method execution is a state and a value. The state is mandatory and always defined if the method could be executed. It can be either a success or a failure. The value is optional and it can contain additional information, such as the reason why the state is a failure or a specific value when the state is success that the client can process. It is also possible to get an error message when the method could not be executed – e.g. the parameter was illegal - and hence not even the state of the execution could be specified.

mX•[nodePath]:[methodName]=Y

Legend:

X can be:

'O': if the execution is successful.
'F': if the execution is failed, but the method could be executed.
'E': if the method could not be executed: e.g. illegal parameter count.

Y can be:

• The return value of the method if any.
- It is valid that a method does not have any return value. In this case, the equal sign (‘=’) can be omitted.

Example:

CALL /EDID:switch(D1:E1)
< mO /EDID:switch

Error resp

If there were errors during the execution, an error message is received, which follows the method name.
mE•[nodePath]:[methodName]•%EXXX:Error message

Example:

CALL /EDID:switch(D1;R1)
< mE %E001:Syntax error

1. LW3 Programmer's Reference HDMI-3D-OPT series - User's Manual 55

7.3.4. Manual

For every node, property and method in the tree there is a manual. The manual is a human readable text that describes the syntax and provides a hint for how to use the primitives.

Command format:

for nodes: MAN•[nodePath]

for property: MAN•[nodePath].[propertyName]

for method: MAN•[nodePath]:[methodName]

Response format:

The human readable manual is separated by a space ( ^* ) character from the primitives.

for nodes: nm•[nodePath]•Human readable manual

for property: pm•[nodePath].[propertyName]•Human readable manual

for method: mm•[nodePath]:[methodName]•Human readable manual

Example: (for a property)

MAN /SYS/MB/RS232/LOCAL.ActiveProtocol

< pm /SYS/MB/RS232/LOCAL.ActiveProtocol ["LW2" | "LW3"] Active Protocol

Example: (for a method)

MAN /SYS/MB/RS232/LOCAL:factoryDefaults

< mm /SYS/MB/RS232/LOCAL:factoryDefaults [] Restore factory default settings

7.3.5. Signature

For some command, the response can contain multiple lines. Each line is terminated with a carriage return (Cr, 'ir') and line feed (Lf, '\n') characters. In several cases the number of the lines in the response cannot be determined in advance, e.g. the client is intended waiting for the whole response and also wants to be sure, that the received lines belong together and to the same command. In these cases, a special feature the 'signature' can be used.

The signature is a four-digit long hexadecimal value that can be optionally placed before every command. In that case, the response to that particular command will also be preceded by the signature, and the corresponding lines will be between brackets.

Command format: XXXX#[command]

Legend: xxxx: 4-digit long hexadecimal value.

Response format:

{XXXX

[command lines]

}

Example:

1103#GET /MEDIA/UART.*

< {1103
< pr /MEDIA/UART.PortCount=1
< pr /MEDIA/UART.PortUI-P1:12209
< pr /MEDIA/UART.P1-Local
< }

INFO: The lines of the signature are also Cr and Lf terminated.

7.3.6. Subscription

A user can subscribe to any node. Subscribe to a node means that the user will get a notification if any of the properties of the node is changed. These notifications are asynchronous messages - such as the ones described above - and hence, they are useful to keep the client application up-to-date, without receiving any unwanted information. When the user does not want to be informed about the changes anymore, he can simply unsubscribe from the node.

ATTENTION: The subscriptions are handled separately for connections. Hence, if the connection is terminated all registered subscriptions are deleted. After closing a connection the subscribe command has to be sent in order to get the notifications of the changes on that connection.

Subscribe to a Node

Command format: OPEN•[nodePath]

Response format: o-•[nodePath]

Example:

Subscribe to Multiple Nodes

In order to subscribe to multiple nodes, the asterisk wild card can be used.

Command format: OPEN•[nodePath]/*

Response format: o-•[nodePath]/*

Example:

1. LW3 Programmer's Reference HDMI-3D-OPT series - User's Manual 56

Get the Active Subscriptions for the Current Connection

Command format: OPEN

Response format: c-■[nodePath]

Example:

> OPEN
< o-/MEDIA/VIDEO
< o-/EDID
< o-/LOG 

Unsubscribe from a Node

Command format: CLOSE•[nodePath]

Response format: c-•[nodePath]

Example:

CLOSE /MEDIA/VIDEO

< C-/MEDIA/VIDEO

Unsubscribe from Multiple Nodes

Command format: CLOSE•[nodePath]/*

Response format: c-•[nodePath]/*

Example:

7.3.7. Notifications about the Changes of the Properties

When the value of a property is changed and the user is subscribed to the node, which the property belongs to, an asynchronous notification is generated. This is notification is called as the 'change message'. The format of such a message is very similar to the response for the 'GET' command.

Format: CHG•[nodePath].[propertyName]=[newPropertyValue]

Example:

< CHG /EDID.EdidStatus=D1:E1;D1:E2;D1:E3;D1:E4

A Short Example of How to Use the Subscription

In the following, an example is presented, how the subscriptions are working and how to use them. In the example, there are two independent users controlling the device through two independent connections ('Connection #1' and 'Connection #2'). The events in the rows occur after each other.

Explanation: The first user (Connection #1) set a subscription to a node. Later the other user (Connection #2) made a change, and thanks for the subscription, the first user got a notification about the change.

7.4. Formal Definitions

Method parameters and property values are specified in a modified version of Backus Naur Form (BNF). The syntax is the following:

"Literal" literals are quoted
<expression1>|<expression2> vertical bars denote alternatives
[<expression> expressions in square brackets are optional
<number>|<expression> expression is repeated at least <number> times
• [<expression> : <number> may be omitted, in this case number defaults to 0
<number>|<expression> : expressions in curly brackets are repeated exactly <number> times
-n Input port number
On Output port number

8.5. Keeping the Configuration Settings

User can keep all configuration settings and restore to the device after firmware upgrading or can choose to perform a factory reset – it means all settings will be erased in the device. For the detailed information about saved data refer to Content of Backup File section.

The following flow chart demonstrates how this function works in the background.

The flow chart of the firmware upgrade procedure

The details about the procedure: when firmware upgrade starts, the first step is making a backup of the settings of the device. The firmware package checks the backup data and if it is needed, a conversion is applied to avoid incompatibility problems between the firmware versions. If you do not want to keep configuration settings, you can set the Factory reset option enabled.

The instruction in the firmware package of the device will inform you about this function availability, reading it is highly recommended in every case.

Instructions page in the optical extender firmware package

ATTENTION! In specific cases restoring cannot be applied fully and certain settings are not copied back to the device. If a warning message appears, user can get back the original data from the backup. Logs of the upgrade procedure contain all backup data, it can be exported at the end of the upgrade procedure. In case of any question, please contact [e-mail].

ATTENTION! In certain cases, the new firmware version requires setting all parameters to set factory defaults. In this case, the "Factory reset" option is enabled by default and not changeable by the user, see details in the Firmware Components section.

ATTENTION! The feature is only supported by LDU version 1.3.0 and above.

Troubleshooting

Usually, if the system seems not to transport the signal as expected, the best strategy for troubleshooting is to check signal integrity through the whole signal chain starting from source side and moving forward to the receiver end.

9.2. How to Speed Up the Troubleshooting Process

Lightware's technical support team is always working hard to provide the fastest support possible. Our team's response time is one of the best in the industry and in the toughest of cases we can directly consult with the hardware or software engineer who designed the product to get the information from the most reliable source.

However, the troubleshooting process can be even faster... with your help.

graph TD
    A["Device"] --> B["Maze"]
    B --> C["Lightbulb"]
    C --> D["Monitor"]

There are certain pieces of information that push us in the right direction to finding the root cause of the problem. If we receive most of this information in the first e-mail or it is gathered at the time when you call us, then there is a pretty high chance that we will be able to respond with the final solution right away.

This information is the following:

• Schematic (a pdf version is preferred, but a hand drawing is sufficient).
• Serial number(s) of the device(s) (it is either printed somewhere on the box or you can query it in the Device Controller software or on the built-in website).
• Firmware versions of the devices (please note that there may be multiple CPUs or controllers in the device and we need to know all of their firmware versions, a screenshot is the best option).
• Cable lengths and types (in our experience, it's usually the cable).

- Patch panels, gender changers or anything else in the signal path that can affect the transmission.

• Signal type (resolution, refresh rate, color space, deep color).

• Emulated EDID(s) (please save them as file and send them to us).

- Actions to take in order to re-create the problem (if we cannot reproduce the problem, it is hard for us to find the cause).

- Photo or video about the problem ('image noise' can mean many different things, it's better if we see it too).

- Error logs from the Device Controller software.

- In the case of Event Manager issue the event file and/or backup file from the Device Controller software.

The more of the above information you can give us the better. Please send these information to the Lightware Support Team ([e-mail]) to speed up the troubleshooting process.

Technologies

The following sections contain descriptions and useful technical information how the devices work in the background. The content is based on experiences and cases we met in the practice. These sections help to understand features and technical standards like the followings:

▶EDID MANAGEMENT

HDCP MANAGEMENT

▶PIXEL ACCURATE RECLOCKING

10.1. EDID Management

10.1.1. Understanding the EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is the passport of display devices (monitors, TV sets, projectors). It contains information about the capabilities of the display, such as supported resolutions, refresh rates (these are called Detailed Timings), the type and manufacturer of the display device, etc.

After connecting a source to a display (DVI, HDMI, DP), the source reads out the EDID to determine the resolution and refresh rate of the image to be transmitted.

EDID Communication

Most DVI computer displays have 128-byte long EDID structure. However, Digital Televisions and HDMI capable displays may have another 128 bytes, which is called E-EDID and defined by CEA (Consumer Electronics Association). This extension contains information about additional Detailed Timings, audio capabilities, speaker allocation and HDMI capabilities. It is important to know that all HDMI capable devices must have CEA extension, but not all devices with CEA extension are HDMI capable.

Common Problems Related to EDID

Problem: "My system consists of the following: a computer, a Lightware device, a WUXGA (1920x1200) LCD monitor, and an SXGA (1280x1024) projector. I would like to see the same image on the monitor and the projector. What EDID should I choose on the Lightware device?"

Solution: If you want to see the image on both displays, you need to select the resolution of the smaller display (in this case SXGA), otherwise the smaller display may not show the higher resolution image.

Problem: "I have changed to a different EDID on an input port of the Lightware device to have a different resolution but nothing happens."

Solution: Some graphics cards and video sources read out the EDID only after power-up and later they do not sense that EDID has been changed. You need to restart your source to make it read out the EDID again.

10.1.2. Advanced EDID Management

Each DVI sink (e.g. monitors, projectors, plasma displays, etc...) must support the EDID data structure. Source BIOS and operating systems are likely to query the sink using DDC2B protocol to determine what pixel formats and interface are supported. DVI standard uses EDID data structure to identify the monitor type and capabilities. Most DVI sources (VGA cards, set top boxes, etc.) will output DVI signal after accepting the connected sink's EDID information. In the case of EDID readout failure or missing EDID, the source will not output DVI video signal.

Lightware devices provide the Advanced EDID Management function that helps system integration. The built-in EDID Router can store and emulate factory pre-programmed- and User programmable EDIDs. The EDID of the attached monitors or projectors for each output are stored in a non-volatile memory. This way the EDID of a monitor is available when the monitor is unplugged or switched off.

Any EDID can be emulated on any input. An emulated EDID can be copied from the EDID router's memory (static EDID emulation), or from the last attached monitor's memory (dynamic EDID emulation). For example, the Lightware device can be set up to emulate a sink device, which is connected to one of the outputs. In this case, the EDID automatically changes, if the monitor is replaced with another display device (as long as it has a valid EDID).

EDID is independently programmable for all inputs without affecting each other. All inputs have their own EDID circuit.

INFO: The user is not required to disconnect the video cable to change an EDID as opposed to other manufacturer's products. EDID can be changed even if a source is connected to the input and powered ON.

INFO: When EDID has been changed, the router toggles the HOTPLUG signal for 2 seconds. Some sources do not sense this signal. In such cases, the source device must be restarted or powered OFF and ON again.

1. Technologies HDMI-3D-OPT series - User's Manual 87

10.2. HDCP Management

Lightware Visual Engineering is a legal HDCP adopter. Several functions have been developed which helps to solve HDCP related problems. Complex AV systems often have both HDCP and non-HDCP components. The transmitter allows transmitting HDCP encrypted and unencrypted signals. The devices will be still HDCP compliant as they will never output an encrypted signal to a non-HDCP compliant display device. If an encrypted signal is switched to a non-compliant output, a red screen alert or muted screen will appear.

10.2.1. Protected and Unprotected Content

Many video sources send HDCP protected signal if they detect that the sink is HDCP capable – even if the content is not copyrighted. This can cause trouble if an HDCP capable device is connected between the source and the display. In this case, the content cannot be viewed on non-HDCP capable displays and interfaces like event controllers. Rental and staging technicians often complain about certain laptops, which are always sending HDCP encrypted signals if the receiver device (display, matrix router, etc.) reports HDCP compliancy. However, HDCP encryption is not required all the time e.g. computer desktop image, certain laptops still do that.

To avoid unnecessary HDCP encryption, Lightware introduced the HDCP enabling/disabling function: the HDCP capability can be disabled in the Lightware device. If HDCP is disabled, the connected source will detect that the sink is not HDCP capable, and turn off authentication.

10.2.2. Disable Unnecessary Encryption

HDCP Compliant Sink

    A["Protected content"] -->|Encrypted signal HDM/VOV/OP cable| B["HDMI-3D-OPT-TX200 series transmitter"]
    B -->|Optical cable| C["HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RA receiver"]
    C -->|Encrypted signal HDMI cable| D["HDCP-compliant sink"]

All the devices are HDCP-compliant, no manual setting is required, both protected and unprotected contents are transmitted and displayed on the sink.

Not HDCP-compliant Sink 1.

graph LR
    A["Unprotected content"] -->|Non-encrypted signal| B["HDMI/VDI/DP cable"]
    B --> C["HDMI-3D-OPT-TX200 series transmitter"]
    C -->|Optical cable| D["HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RA receiver"]
    D -->|Non-encrypted signal| E["Non-HDCP compliant sink"]
    E --> F["HDMI cable"]

Not-HDCP compliant sink is connected to the receiver. Some sources (e.g. computers) always send HDCP encrypted signals if the receiver device reports HDCP compliancy, however, HDCP encryption is not required all the time (e.g. computer desktop image). If HDCP is enabled in the transmitter, the image will not be displayed on the sink.

Setting the HDCP parameter to Auto on the output port and disable HDCP on the input port, the transmitted signal will not be encrypted if the content is not protected. Thus, non-HDCP compliant sinks will display non-encrypted signal.

Not HDCP-compliant Sink 2.

graph LR
    A["Protected content"] -->|Encrypted signal HDMI/DMI/DP cable| B["HDMI-3D-OPT-TX200 series transmitter"]
    B -->|Optical cable| C["HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RA receiver"]
    C -->|HDMI cable| D["Non-HDCP compliant sink"]

The layout is the same as in the previous case: non-HDCP compliant display device is connected to the receiver but the source would send protected content with encryption. If HDCP is enabled on the input port of the transmitter, the source will send encrypted signal. The sink is not HDCP compliant, thus, it will not display the video signal (but blank/red/muted/etc. screen). If HDCP is disabled on the input port of the transmitter, the source will not send the signal. The solution is to replace the display device to an HDCP-capable one.

10.3. Pixel Accurate Reclocking

Signal reclocking is an essential important procedure in digital signal transmission. After passing the reclocking circuit, the signal becomes stable, jitter-free, and can be transmitted over more equipment like processors, or event controllers. Without reclocking, sparkles, noise, and jaggies appear on the image.

Lightware's sophisticated Pixel Accurate Reclocking technology fixes more problems than general TMDS reclocking. It removes not only intra-pair skew but inter-pair skew as well. The Pixel Accurate Reclocking circuit eliminates the following errors:

Intra-pair skew

Skew between the + and - wires within a differential wire pair (e.g. Data2- and Data2+). It's caused by different wire lengths or slightly different wire construction (impedance mismatch) in DVI cable. It results in jitter.

Inter-pair skew

Skew between two differential wire pairs in a cable. It is caused by different wire pair lengths or different number of twists in the DVI cable. Too much inter-pair skew results color shift in the picture or sync loss.

Jitter

Signal instability in the time domain. The time difference between two signal transitions should be a fixed value, but noise and other effects cause variations.

Noise

Electromagnetic interference between other electronic devices such as mobile phones, motors, etc. and the DVI cable are coupled onto the signal. Too much noise results in increased jitter.

11.7. Audio Cable Wiring Guide

Inputs and outputs of audio devices are symmetric or asymmetric. The main advantage of the symmetric lines is the better protection against the noise therefore, they are widely used in the professional audio industry. Symmetric audio is most often referred to as balanced audio, as opposed to asymmetric, which is referred to as unbalanced audio. Lighware products are usually built with 5-pole Phoenix connectors so we would like to help users assembling their own audio cables. See the most common cases below.

ATTENTION! Symmetric and asymmetric lines can be linked with passive accessories (e.g. special cables), but in this case half of the line level is lost.

ATTENTION! There are numerous types of regularly used connector and cable types to connect audio devices. Please always make sure that a connector or cable fits your system before use.

ATTENTION! Never join the phase-inverted (negative, cold or -) poles (either right and left) to the ground or to each other on the output side, as this can damage the unit.

INFO: Use a galvanic isolation in case of a ground loop.
