Introduction

Thank You for choosing Lightware's HDMI-TPS-TX200 series device. In the first chapter we would like to introduce the device highlighting the most important features in the below listed sections:

▶DESCRIPTION

▶COMPATIBLE DEVICES

Box CONTENTS

FEATURES

▶MODEL COMPARISON

▶TYPICAL APPLICATION

1.1. Description

This transmitter family was designed to extend digital video signals (e.g. HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.1) and audio signals (analog stereo audio from local input or embedded 7.1 HBR audio). Video signals with HDCP encryption are also supported. 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 them to send any IR or RS-232 control command directly from the LAN connection.

PoE-compatible remote powering (Power over Ethernet) is available through a single CAT cable, but local power supply can also be used. The device can be mounted on a rack shelf or used standalone. HDMI-TPS-TX200 series is compatible with both the HDBase ^™ extenders and matrix switchers.

Advanced models contain an 8-pole Phoenix ^6 connector with user-configurable General Purpose Input and Output pins. Using the built-in Event manager with the GPIO pins, many controlling functions can be established in a simple way.

3.6. TPS Interface

The device is built with TPS (Twisted Pair Single) interface which are using HDBase™ 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.

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.

3.7. Audio Interface

3.7.1. 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 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 Concept

Two audio sources are connected to the transmitter: a Blu-ray player on the HDMI input (embedded HDMI audio); and a Media player on the analog audio input (Jack). The transmitter is connected to a TPS receiver which transmits the A/V signal to a HDTV.

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

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 from the Media player.

INFO: In case of the TPS-TX220 series transmitters you can use the Autoselect feature for audio input selection. For the details see The Autoselect Feature section.

The Concept

If there is no other source connected to the transmitter, but the Laptop, HDMI 1 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 2 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 I1 0
Blu-ray player HDMI IN 1 I2 1
PCDVI-D INI4 2
LaptopHDMI IN 2 I3 3

INFO: Priorities can be set in Lightware Device Controller software, see related settings in the Video Outputs (TPS and HDMI) sections.

3.10. Control Features

3.10.1. 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.

    D --> E["Projector"]
    C --> F["HDMI-TFS-DX200 series transmitter/System controller TPS receiver"]

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.

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

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.

    B -->|TPS OUT| C["Remote controller"]
    B -->|R IN| D["Remote controller"]

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 a HDMI-TPS-TX200 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.

3.10.3. 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.

3.10.4. 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.

    D --> F["TPS OUT HDMI"]
    E --> G["PC Projector TPS receive HDMI-TPS-DX200 series transmitter"]
    F --> H["Projection screen"]

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.

3.11. Further Built-in Features

3.11.1. 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.

3.11.2. Transmitter Cloning - Configuration Backup and Restore

Lightware SW4-TPS-TX240 - Transmitter Cloning - Configuration Backup and Restore - 1

The transmitter (configuration) cloning of a HDMI-TPS-TX200 series transmitter 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.

3.11.3. Remote Firmware Upgrade of Connected Lightware Devices

Lightware SW4-TPS-TX240 - Remote Firmware Upgrade of Connected Lightware Devices - 1

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

The firmware of the Lightware TPS devices can be upgraded individually by Lightware Device Updater (LDU) software. HDMI-TPS-TX200 series transmitters 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.

5.1. Install and Upgrade

INFO: After the installation, the Windows and the Mac application has the same look and functionality. This type of the installer is equal with the Normal install in case of Windows and results an updateable version with the same attributes.

Installation for Windows OS

Run the installer. If the User Account Control drops a pop-up message click Yes.

During the installation you will be prompted to select the type of the installation: normal and the snapshot install:

Normal install Snapshot install
Available for Windows and Mac OS X Available for Windows
The installer can update only this instance Cannot be updated
Only one updateable instance can existfor all usersMore than one different versioncan be installed for all users

Comparison of installation types

ATTENTION! Using the Normal install as the default choice is highly recommended.

Installation for Mac OS X

Mount the DMG file with double clicking on it and drag the LDC icon over the Applications icon to copy the program into the Applications folder. If you want to copy the LDC into another location just drag the icon over the desired folder.

Upgrading of LDC

Step 1. Run the application.

The Device Discovery window appears automatically and the program

checks the available updates on Lightware's website and opens the update window if the LDC found updates.

The current and the update version number can be seen at the top of the window and they are shown in this window even with the snapshot install.

The Update window can also be opened by clicking the About icon Ⓧ and the Update button.

5.5. Diagnostic Tools

5.5.1. 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.

Lightware SW4-TPS-TX240 - Cable Diagnostics - 1

text_image General Table Chart Export data Error rate MSE 1 dB 23 dB 2 dB -24 dB 3 dB -23 dB 5 dB -24 dB TSM0 Estimated cable length: < 20 m (Cat5) < 30 m (Cat7) Video BELT < 10^10

Reference Values

Value Explanation
10^12-10^9 Excellent image quality
10^-4 Minor error, not recognizable by eyes
10^7 Sometimes recognizable flash on a special test pattern
10^-4 Small noise can be seen
10^-5 Easy to recognize image error
10^-4 Bad image quality

Above displayed Video Bit Error Ratio (BER) means that on average there is 1 bad pixel after 10^10 pixels, which means the number of the bit errors is about 1 pixel in every 80 seconds at 1080p60 video signal.

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.

5.5.2. 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.

5.5.3. No Sync Screen (Test Pattern)

Lightware SW4-TPS-TX240 - No Sync Screen (Test Pattern) - 1

No sync screen options in the port properties window of TPS output

The No sync screen feature generates an image which can be displayed when there is no incoming signal on the port. The following settings can be set for the Test Pattern function:

Mode

  • On: the video output port always transmits the test pattern.
  • No signal: the video output port transmits the test pattern if there is no incoming signal on the selected input port.
  • Off: the test pattern function is disabled, the video output port transmits the video signal of the selected input port.

5.8. 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 SW4-TPS-TX240 - 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.

5.8.3. 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.

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.

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.

Backup tab

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.

5.10.1. 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.

5.10.2. Save the Settings of a Device (Backup)

Step 1. Apply the desired settings in the transmitter (port parameters, crosspoint, etc.)
Step 2. Select the Settings / Backup tab from the menu.
Step 3. Write a short description in the text box on the left (optional).
Step 4. Press the Create a full backup button. You will be prompted to save the file to the computer. The default file name is the following:

BACKUP SK.LN3

Step 5. Set the desired file name, select the folder and save the file.

TIPS AND TRICKS: Using the exact product type in the filename is recommended since it makes the file usage more comfortable.

About the Backup File

The backup file is a simple text file which contains LW3 protocol commands. The first line is the description and the further lines are the commands which will be executed during the restore process. The file can be viewed (and/or edited) by a simple text editor, e.g. Notepad.

See the entire list of saved data in the Content of Backup File section.

ATTENTION! Editing the command lines is only recommended for expert users.

5.10.3. Upload the Settings to a Device (Restore)

WARNING! Please note that the settings will be permanently overwritten with the restored parameters in the device. Undo is not available. ATTENTION! The cloning is successful when the backup file is downloaded from the same type of source device as the destination device.

The Restoring Process

Step 1. Select the Settings / Backup tab from the menu.
Step 2. Click on the Choose file button on the right panel and browse to the desired file.
Step 3. The file is verified and the result will be displayed in the textbox below. If the file is correct, then the settings can be restored.
Step 4. Choose IP settings what you want to use after backup. You can apply settings from the backup file, keep actual settings, set it manually in a dialog box or apply DHCP.
Step 5. Press the Start restore process button and click on the Yes button when asked.
Step 6. Reboot the device to apply the network settings after finishing.

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-TPS-TX200 series transmitters. 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:

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

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_IllegalParamCountIllegal parameter count
006 Lw3ErrorCodes_IllegalOperationIllegal operation
007 Lw3ErrorCodes_AccessDeniedAccess denied
008 Lw3ErrorCodes_TimeoutTimeout
009 Lw3ErrorCodes_CommandTooLongCommand too long
010 Lw3ErrorCodes_InternalErrorInternal error
011 Lw3ErrorCodes_NotImplementedNot 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,

'm0': 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/IR
< 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-/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 properly, 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-TPS-TX200 series - User's Manual 54

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-TPS-TX200 series - User's Manual 55

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:

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=F48:E1;F49:E2;F48:E3;F48: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.

OPEN /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP
< o- /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP
> GET /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList
< pr /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList=I1
> GET /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList
< pr /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList=I1
> CALL /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:switch{I1:I1}
< no /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:switch
Connection #1 < CHG /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList=I1 

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

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.

Lightware SW4-TPS-TX240 - Remote Firmware Upgrade of Connected Lightware Devices - 1

natural_image Three connected electronic devices shown in a rack layout (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, HDMI-TPS-TX200 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 HDMI-TPS-TX200 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 SW4-TPS-TX240 - 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

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

    D -->|Non-encrypted signal| E["HDMI cable"]
    E --> F["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.

    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.

Lightware SW4-TPS-TX240 - 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.
