▶MODEL COMPARISON

▶TYPICAL APPLICATION

1.1. Description

This transmitter was designed to extend digital and analog video signals (e.g. VGA, YPrPb, HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.1) and audio signals (analog stereo audio from local inputs or embedded 7.1 HBR audio). Video signals with HDCP encryption are also supported. Analog signals (both audio and video) are converted to digital format and the audio signals can be de-embedded from the video. Thus, many combinations of the audio/video signals are available to transmit.

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 IR, RS-232 and Ethernet transmission. Furthermore, the IR and RS-232 connection support command injection, allowing it to send any IR or RS-232 control command directly from the LAN connection.

Remote powering (Power over Ethernet) is available through a single CAT cable, but local power supply can also be used. UMX-TPS transmitter can be mounted on a rack shelf or used standalone while the WP-UMX-TPS transmitters designed to place into a wall or furniture. The transmitters are compatible with both the HDBase ^™ extenders and matrix switchers.

1.2. Compatible Devices

The transmitter is compatible with other Lightware TPS receivers, matrix TPS and TPS2 boards, 25G TPS2 boards, as well as third-party HDBaseT extenders, displays, but not compatible with the phased out TPS-90 extenders.

Lightware UMX-TPS-TX120 - Compatible Devices - 1

The transmitter is compatible with any third-party HDBaseT ^™ device.

IR

Infrared (IR) is a wireless technology used for device communication over short ranges. IR communication has major limitations because it requires line-of-sight, has a short transmission range and is unable to penetrate walls. Infrared is commonly used for remote control based applications. Third-party control systems may send IR control commands to endpoints turning them on and off or switching their inputs. IR capable extenders can carry the IR signal via CAT cable to greater distances along with other data.

Lightware UMX-TPS-TX120 - IR - 1

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.

3.9. TPS Interface

The device is built with TPS (Twisted Pair Single) interface which are using HDBaseT ^™ technology. It means the unit transmits video, audio, Ethernet, RS-232, and Infrared signals via a single CATx cable.

TPS Interface Working Modes

The TPS working mode between the transmitter and the receiver is determined by the mode set in them. Both devices TPS mode settings together determine the finally established TPS transmission mode.

The following TPS modes are defined in the transmitter:

• Auto: The TPS mode is determined automatically.
- HDBaseT: Ideal for high resolution signals up to 4K.
- Long reach: Ideal for big distances up to 1080p@60Hz with extended cable lengths.
- LPPF1*: Only RS-232 communication is transmitted (@ 9600 baud).
- LPPF2*: Only RS-232 (@ 9600 baud) and Ethernet communication are transmitted.

* LPPF: Low Power Partial Functionality.

HDBaseTLPPF1LPPF2HDBaseTLong reachHDBaseT
Long reachLPPF1LPPF2Long reachLong reachLong reach
AutoLPPF1LPPF2HDBaseTLong reachHDBaseT **

** If there is valid HDMI/DVI signal is on the TX side, the TPS mode will be HDBaseT on both side. If the transmitter does not transmits HDMI/DVI signal, the TPS mode will be changed to LPPF2 or LPPF1 automatically. Long reach mode is not available when both sides are set to Auto mode.

When using automatic operation mode selection, the device determines the mode of operation. If both halfs are set to Auto mode, the source side is the initiator. It will negotiate each state transition with its sink side partner.

When one of the devices is configured to manual operation mode selection, the other device may be placed in automatic mode. In this case, the mode transition negotiation is initiated by the host-managed device and the auto-mode device follows through. The allowed cable lengths and resolutions are listed in the Maximum Extension Distances section.

3.10. Port Diagram

The following figure describes the port diagram of the UMX-TPS-TX140 transmitter. The principle of the operation is the same for all models.

Port diagram

The device has four video input ports to receive analog video (VGA, DVI-A) and digital video (HDMI, DP, DVI-D) signals. The analog signals are converted to digital. A 5:1 digital audio/video switch decides which signal is routed toward the TPS output port. The device also has two analog audio input ports (3.5mm Jack, 5-pole Phoenix). The analog signals are converted to digital ones. The user can choose which audio signal is transmitted on the TPS output port: one from the analog audio sources or the original embedded audio from the HDMI / DP / DVI-D ports.

INFO: The DVI-D input accepts HDMI signal with embedded audio as well.

Besides, the device has four different interfaces to control the unit itself or third-party devices: infrared (input and output), RS-232, Ethernet, and GPIO.

3.11. Video Interface

3.11.1. Video Input Modes

The device can receive digital video signal on the HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI-D input ports and analog video signal on the VGA and the DVI-A input ports.

INFO: Both the DVI-A and DVI-D signals can be received on the same DVI-I input port.

3.11.2. Input Source Selection Modes

Video input source can be selected 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.

3.12. The Autoselect Feature

There are three types of Autoselect as follows.

  • First detect mode: selected input port is kept connected to the output as long as 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 Laptop, VGA input will be automatically switched to the TPS output. If the Laptop and the PC are also connected to the transmitter, DVI-D input will be switched to the TPS output. If the Blu-ray player is connected on the HDMI input, and later the MacBook is connected on the DP input of the transmitter, it will be switched to the TPS output – independently of the presence of other video signals.

Settings

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

Source device Input interface Input port Priority
MacBook DP IN I3 0
Blu-ray player HDMI IN I2 1
PC DVI-D IN I4 2
Laptop VGA INI1 3

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

3.13. Audio Interface

3.13.1. Audio Input Modes

The device can receive embedded digital audio signal on the HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI-D input ports and analog audio signal on the Jack and the Phoenix input ports.

Audio Embedding

The transmitter has a built-in audio embedder function which means the audio signal being received on the analog audio input port can be embedded to the TPS output.

The video and audio inputs can be combined with limitations. Below table contains the allowed connections:

The Concept

Three audio sources are connected to the transmitter: a Blu-ray player on the HDMI input (embedded HDMI audio); a Laptop on the analog audio input 1; and a Media player on the analog audio input 2. There are two video sources as well: the Blu-ray player on the HDMI input (digital video with the embedded audio) and the Laptop on the VGA input (analog video).

The following options are available for audio routing / signal selection:

If the video input source of the HDTV is the Blu-ray player, you can select from the following audio sources:
– the original embedded HDMI audio from the Blu-ray player;
– the analog audio input 1 from the Laptop;
– the analog audio input 2 from the Media player.
- If the video input source of the HDTV is the Laptop, you can select from the following audio sources:
– the analog audio input 1 from the Laptop;
– the analog audio input 2 from the Media player.

3.14. Control Features

3.14.1. Serial Interface

Technical Background

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

Block diagram of the serial interface

The following settings are defined:

1 The Local and the TPS serial ports are in Control mode.
2 The Local and the TPS serial ports are in Pass-through mode.
3 The Local and the TPS serial ports are in Command Injection mode.

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

Only one mode can be used at the same time: Control mode, or Pass-through mode, or Command Injection mode. If you choose one of them, TPS serial link and local RS-232 port will operate in the same mode.

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. Incoming serial data is forwarded from local RS-232 port to the TPS output port and vica versa inside the transmitter.

Control Mode

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

Command Injection Mode

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

The Concept

The System controller can send commands to the transmitter and it is able to remote control the projector through the TPS receiver via RS-232.

Settings

  • System controller: wireless IP connection to the same Ethernet as the transmitter is connected to. Use a dedicated software tool (e.g. a terminal) which is suitable for sending commands via TCP/IP to a certain IP:port address.
  • Transmitter: set the RS-232 mode to Command Injection on TPS output port. Set the further parameters (Baud rate, Data bits, etc.) in accordance with the specifications of the projector. The transmitter will transmit the RS-232 data toward the receiver.
  • Receiver: set the RS-232 mode to Pass-through on RS-232 port.
  • Projector: note the RS-232 port setting that is specified by the Manufacturer. Connect a suitable serial cable with the proper wiring.

3.14.2. IR Interface

ATTENTION! For the complete usage attach an IR emitter unit to the IR OUT and an IR detector unit to the IR IN connectors.

Technical Background

The Infrared signal transmission is similar to the serial data communication. The transmitter contains dedicated IR I/O connection and also can transmit/receive IR signal via the TPS interface. The signal is in pronto HEX format in both cases.

Block diagram of the IR Interface - WP-UMX-TPS-TX100 series transmitters

The most trivial usage of the IR interface is the transparent mode: signal received or sent on local IR ports are transmitted directly on the TPS IR link port and vica versa. Beside of this there is an IR recognizer in the device where you can assign actions in Event Manager for. The third option is the command injection mode (like at serial interface in the previous section) where you can send IR commands over LAN. Command injection mode can be turned on and off by input/output ports.

INFO: All settings are available in the LDC software, see settings in the Infra section.

INFO: The modulation of output IR signal can be turned off or on by LW3 command, see details in the Enable/Disable Output Signal Modulation section.

The Concept

An IR detector is attached to the Infrared input port of the TPS receiver and IR signals are sent by the Remote controller. The TPS Receiver is connected to an UMX-TPS-TX100 series transmitter built with IR output port via TPS line.

Settings:

Set the TPS IR link of the Transmitter to Transparent mode. IR signals are received over the local IR input port of the Receiver by the Remote controller. The signals transmitted further over the TPS line to the Transmitter which can control the Blu-ray player via an IR emitter.

    B -->|Wireless Signal| E["Radio"]
    C -->|Wireless Signal| F["Radio"]

The Concept

The built-in IR detector of the Wallplate transmitter receives the IR signals from the Remote controller. The signal is transmitted via the TPS line to the TPS receiver. In this way the Remote controller can control the the Projector via the Wallplate transmitter.

3.14.3. Ethernet Control Interface

The device can be controlled over front panel Ethernet standard RJ45 connector which connected to LAN. This interface supports both LW2 and LW3 protocols.

The interface can be used to remote control the device with Lightware Device Controller and establish the connection to Lightware Device Updater software and perform firmware upgrade.

3.14.4. GPIO Interface

The GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) port is a multifunctional input/output interface to control the 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. Seven pin's direction is configurable independently based on needs of the application.

    F["PC ProjectorTPS receiveV6A IN"] --> G["PTS OUT HDMI"]
    G --> H["Projector screen"]
    I["PTS-TX130/TX140 transmitter"] --> G

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 VGA 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 VGA 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 VGA 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.

3.15. Further Built-in Features

3.15.1. Automatically Launched Actions - The Event Manager

The Event Manager feature means that the device can sense changes on its ports and is able to react according to the pre-defined settings. Lightware Device Controller contains a user-friendly software tool and allows to create Events by defining a Condition and an Action.

3.15.2. Transmitter Cloning - Configuration Backup and Restore

Lightware UMX-TPS-TX120 - Transmitter Cloning - Configuration Backup and Restore - 1

The transmitter (configuration) cloning of a UMX-TPS-TX100 series transmitter or wallplate 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.

3.15.3. Remote Firmware Upgrade of Connected Lightware Devices

Lightware UMX-TPS-TX120 - Remote Firmware Upgrade of Connected Lightware Devices - 1

natural_image Three connected electronic devices in a rack layout (no visible text or labels)

The firmware of the Lightware TPS devices can be upgraded individually by Lightware Device Updater (LDU) software. UMX-TPS-TX100 series transmitters and wallplates contain a feature which allows having a faster and more comfortable firmware upgrade process. When the firmware of the connected extenders has to be upgraded the TPS connection is necessary towards the extenders – nothing else. The LDU will find the connected devices and can upgrade them.

The upgrade process is almost the same as in the case of the usual upgrade process. See the details of the process in the Remote Firmware Upgrade of Connected Lightware Devices section.

5.6. Diagnostic Tools

5.6.1. Cable Diagnostics

The cable diagnostics is a useful tool to determine any cable related issues in case of TPS connection. 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.

INFO: Each bar represents a differential line in the CATx cable. The inappropriate termination of the cable usually causes high error rates. Check the cable terminations or change the cable.

10^8 Minor error, not recognizable by eyes
10^7 Sometimes recognizable flash on a special test pattern
10^6 Small noise can be seen
10^5 Easy to recognize image error
10^4 Bad image quality

Above displayed "Video BER < 10 ^10 " value means that on average there is 1 bad pixel after 10 ^12 pixels, which means the number of the bit errors is about 1 pixel in every 80 seconds.

INFO: You can find more details about maximum twisted pair cable distances in the Maximum Extension Distances section.

Table and Chart Views

Cable diagnostics can be displayed in advanced modes as well. Two ways are available: table view and chart view. Data can be exported to a file on clicking on the Export data button.

5.6.2. Frame Detector

The ports can show detailed information about the signal like full size and active video resolution. This feature is a good troubleshooter if compatibility problems occur during system installation. To access this function, open the port properties window and click on Frame detector button.

Frame detector window

Lightware's Frame Detector function works like a signal analyzer and makes possible to determine the exact video format that is present on the port, thus helps to identify many problems. E.g. actual timing parameters may differ from the expected and this may cause some displays to drop the picture.

Frame Detector measures detailed timings on the video signals just like a built-in oscilloscope, but it is much more easy to use. Actual display area shows the active video size (light grey). Dark grey area of the full frame is the blanking interval which can contain the info frames and embedded audio data for HDMI signals. Shown values are measured actually on the signal and not retrieved only from the HDMI info frames.

5.6.3. Test Pattern

The port generates an image which can be displayed when there is no incoming signal on the port. Each port can have individual settings which can be set by clicking on the Configure button.

5.9. Event Manager

The feature means that the device can sense changes on its ports and able to react according to the pre-defined settings. The development idea of the Event manager is based on users' feedbacks. In many cases internal events (such as signal present or HDCP active) are necessary to display but it is not easy when the device is hard to access (e.g. built under the desk).

Lightware UMX-TPS-TX120 - Event Manager - 1
EVENT MANAGER

The Event manager can be configured to perform an action if a condition has been detected. E.g. the desired setup is that after a certain type of signal has been detected on 11 port, the port has to be switched to 01. The settings can be done via the LDC in the Control/Events tab, or by LW3 protocol commands. Configurable events number depends on the device what you are using actually.

Numerous new ideas and requests have been received in connection with the features and settings of the Event manager since the first release. Therefore, the user interface has been re-designed and many new functions implemented. The Event editor can be opened by pressing the Edit button at each Event.

There is a grey bar on the left of the Event panel in each line. If a condition and an action are set and the Event is enabled, the bar is displayed in green.

5.9.2. Create or Modify an Event

Wizard Mode

The wizard mode lists the most common conditions and actions, so the user does not have to look for LW3 nodes and properties.
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. Select the desired Category first (e.g. Audio or Video).
Step 3. Select the desired Expression from the drop-down menu. If any other parameter is necessary to set, it is going to be displayed.
Step 4. Press the Apply button to store the settings of the Condition.

Advanced Mode

The goal of this mode is the same as of the wizard: set the properties and methods for conditions and actions. The difference is the number of the available and usable properties and methods of the LW3

protocol. Advanced mode allows almost all of it.

Step 1. Click on the Edit button of the desired Event; the Event editor is displayed.
Step 2. The wizard mode is the default, press the Advanced button. The LW3 protocol tree is displayed showing the list of the properties in the drop-down menu. Navigate to the desired node.
Step 3. Select the desired Property from the menu. The manual of the property is displayed below to help to select the necessary property and to set the value.
Step 4. Set the desired value and operator, then press the Apply button to store settings.

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 propert

5.9.3. 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 interval only if the Condition still exists.
  • Continuously exists: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval only if the Condition has been existing continuously.

5.9.6. Event Creating - Example

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

The Concept

The UMX-TPS-TX140 is connected to a projector by the TPS 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 TPS output port.

Lightware UMX-TPS-TX120 - The Concept - 1

text_image CONDITION Signal is detected on the TPS 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;
- Part P1;
Message: PWRO\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.

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.

LW3 COMMANDS - QUICK SUMMARY

7.1. Overview

The Lightware Protocol #3 (LW3) is implemented in almost all new Lightware devices (matrix switchers, signal extenders and distribution amplifiers) since 2012. The protocol 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 and user-friendly handling with 'nodes', 'properties' and 'methods'. The Advanced View of the Lightware Device Controller software is the perfect tool for browsing and learning how the LW3 protocol can be used in practice.

7.2.2. General Rules

  • All names and parameters are case-sensitive.
    • The nodes are separated by a slash (') character.
  • The node name can contain the elements of the English alphabet and numbers.
    • Use the TCP port no. 6107 when using LW3 protocol over Ethernet.
  • When a command is issued by the device, the received response cannot be processed by the CPU.
  • The node paths describe the exact location of the node, listing each parent node up to the root.

7.2.3. Command Types

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. Use the dot character (.) when addressing a property:

▶ GET/.SerialNumber
pr/.SerialNumber=87654321

GETALL command

The GETALL command can be used to get all child nodes, properties and methods of a node with one command.

▶ GETALL /MEDIA/UART
←ns /MEDIA/UART/P1
ns /MEDIA/UART/P2
pr /MEDIA/UART.PortCount=2
pr /MEDIA/UART.PortUi=P1:12209;P2:12224
pr /MEDIA/UART.P1=Local RS-232
pr /MEDIA/UART.P2=TPS out RS-232

SET command

The SET command can be used to modify the value of a property. Use the dot character (.) when addressing the property:

▶ SET /MEDIA/VIDEO/I1.ColorSpaceMode=0
pw /MEDIA/VIDEO/I1.ColorSpaceMode=0

CALL command

A method can be invoked by the CALL command. Use the colon character (:) when addressing the method:

▶ CALL /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:switch(I1:01)
← m0 /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:switch

MAN command

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

▶ MAN /MEDIA/VIDEO/01.Pwr5vMode
pm /MEDIA/VIDEO/01.Pwr5vMode ['0' | "1' | "2'] 0 - Auto, 1 - Always On, 2 - Always Off

7.2.4. Prefix Summary

DEFINITION: The prefix is a 2-character long code that describes the type of the response.

The following prefixes are defined in the LW3 protocol:

Prefix Description Prefix Description

n- a node pm a manual for the property

nE an error for a node m-a method

nm a manual for a node mO a response after a success method execution
pr a read-only property mF a response after a failed method execution
pw read-write property mE an error for a method
pE an error for the property mm a manual for a method

7.2.5. Error Messages

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

▶ CALL /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:switch(IA:01)
← mE /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:switch %E004:Invalid value

7.2.6. Escaping

DEFINITION: An escape sequence is a sequence of characters that does not represent itself when used inside a character or string literal, but is translated into another character or a sequence of characters.

Property values and method parameters can contain characters which 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 following: ()#%() \r\n\t

The original message: CALL /MEDIA/UART/P1:sendMessage(Set(01))

The escaped message: CALL /MEDIA/UART/P1:sendMessage(Set\01))

7.2.7. Signature

DEFINITION: The signature is a four-digit-long hexadecimal value that can be optionally placed before every command to keep a command and the corresponding responses together as a group.

Each line is terminated with a carriage return (Cr, ' $') and line feed (Lf, '$ ') characters. In several cases the number of the lines in the response cannot be determined in advance, e.g. the client intends to receive 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 response to that particular command will also be preceded by the signature, and the corresponding lines will be between brackets:

▶ 1700#GET /EDID.*

←(1700

pr /EDID.EdidStatus=F89:E1;D1:E2;D1:E3;D1:E4;F89:E5

← m-/EDID:copy

← m-/EDID:delete

← m-/EDID:reset

← m-/EDID:switch

← m-/EDID:switchAll

}

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

7.2.8. Subscription

DEFINITION: Subscription to a node means that the user will get a notification if a property of the node changes.

A user can subscribe to any node. These notifications are asynchronous messages and are useful to keep the client application up to date, without having to periodically poll the node to detect a changed property. 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 reopening a connection all subscribe commands have to be sent in order to get the notifications of the changes on that connection.

7.2.9. 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:

CHG /EDID.EdidStatus=F48:E1

A Short Example of How to Use the Subscription

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.

▶ OPEN /MEDIA/VIDEO/QUALITY
←o-/MEDIA/VIDEO/QUALITY
▶ GET /MEDIA/VIDEO/Quality.QualityMode
- pm /MEDIA/VIDEO/QUALITY.QualityMode=graphic
▶ GET /MEDIA/VIDEO/Quality.QualityMode
- pm /MEDIA/VIDEO/QUALITY.QualityMode=graphic
▶ SET /MEDIA/VIDEO/Quality.QualityMode=video
pw /MEDIA/VIDEO/QUALITY.QualityMode=video
- CHG /MEDIA/VIDEO/QUALITY.QualityMode=video

Lightware UMX-TPS-TX120 - A Short Example of How to Use the Subscription - 1

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.

▶REMOTE FIRMWARE UPGRADE OF CONNECTED LIGHTWARE DEVICES

ATTENTION! While the firmware is being upgraded, the normal operation mode is suspended as the transmitter is switched to bootload mode. Signal processing is not performed. Do not interrupt the firmware upgrade. If any problem occurs, reboot the device and restart the process.

ATTENTION! The firmware upgrade process has an effect on the configuration and the settings of the device. For more details, please see the Keeping the Configuration Settings section before the upgrade.

8.1. About the Firmware Package (LFP file)

The firmware files are packed in one package which is called LFP file. You need only this file to do the upgrade on your device.

  • The package contains all the necessary components, binary, and other files; You do not have to get further files.
  • There is a descriptor file in the package that contains each firmware with version number and a list showing the compatible devices. The descriptor is displayed after loaded the LFP file in the LDU.

8.2. Short Instructions

Step 1. Get the firmware pack and the Lightware Device Updater (LDU) application.
Step 2. Install the LDU application.
Step 3. Establish the connection between the computer and the device(s)
Step 4. Start the LDU and follow the instructions shown on the screen.

8.3. Install and Upgrade

If the upgrade failed, the progress bar of the device is changed to red; restart the device(s) and repeat the process.

ATTENTION! However the device is rebooted after the firmware upgrade, switching it off and on again is recommended.

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 the Content of Backup File section.

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

Flow chart of firmware upgrade

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.

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 support@lightware.com.

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.

8.6. Remote Firmware Upgrade of Connected Lightware Devices

Firmware of Lightware devices can be upgraded via another connected Lightware device without removing the device from the system. It means user does not have to connect directly to the upgradable device, it can be reached and flashed through other devices. It's a more comfortable way to keep up-to-date your Lightware devices.

natural_image Three connected audio equipment units (no visible text or labels)

There are two types of remote upgrading:

Extended Upgrade

  • Intelligent devices can be upgraded via another intelligent or basic device via TPS or OPTS/OPTM link.
  • For example, UMX-TPS-TX100 series extenders can be upgraded via MMX6x2-HT series matrix or a HDMI-TPS-RX95 extender.

Hosted Upgrade

  • Basic devices can be upgraded only via an intelligent device via TPS link.
  • For example, TPS 95 series extenders can be upgraded via MMX6x2-HT series matrix or UMX-TPS-TX100 series extenders.
  • In case of hosted upgrade, the procedure is almost the same as described in Firmware upgrade – Detailed Instructions. The only difference is that the host device's name, and IP address appears beside the name of the device to be upgraded.

ATTENTION! During hosted upgrade the host device turned to bootload mode when the extender is upgraded. During the upgrade normal operation mode is suspended. When the upgrade is successfully finished, the normal operation mode is restored.

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.

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.

Lightware UMX-TPS-TX120 - Understanding the EDID - 1
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.

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.

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

    C -->|Encrypted signal\nHDMI 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.

    B -->|CATx cable| C["Compatible TPS receiver"]
    C -->|Non-encrypted signal HDMI cable| D["Non-HDCP compliant sink"]

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.

    B -->|CATx cable| C["Compatible TPS 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 jaggles 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.

Lightware UMX-TPS-TX120 - Intra-pair skew - 1

text_image Intra pair skew

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.

11.4. 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. Lightweight 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.
