Lightware HDMI-TPN-RX107AU2K SDVoE compatible HDMI 2.0 scaling receiver - 91710002

Product Overview

The Lightware HDMI-TPN-RX107AU2K is an SDVoE-compatible HDMI 2.0 scaling receiver designed for AV-over-IP distribution in enterprise and higher education environments. It receives uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 video over a standard 10G Ethernet infrastructure and outputs via HDMI 2.0, with built-in scaling to match any downstream display's native resolution. The unit integrates analog audio embedding, USB extension for KVM applications, and RS-232/IR control passthrough, making it a complete endpoint for centrally managed AV systems. Paired with the HDMI-TPN-TX207AU2K transmitter, it forms a zero-latency, visually lossless SDVoE link suitable for control rooms, large lecture halls, and broadcast-adjacent installations.

Product Description

The HDMI-TPN-RX107AU2K operates within the SDVoE (Software Defined Video over Ethernet) ecosystem, leveraging the Semtech BlueRiver chipset to transport uncompressed video at up to 18 Gbps over a single 10GbE network connection. At the receive end, onboard scaling handles resolution and refresh-rate conversion without additional downstream scalers, reducing rack count and system complexity. The receiver supports HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 content protection end-to-end. Analog audio can be de-embedded from the HDMI signal and routed independently, while a USB 2.0 port enables remote keyboard, mouse, and peripheral sharing. RS-232 and IR ports allow bidirectional control signal extension across the network. The chassis is compact and fanless, suitable for rack ear mounting or placement behind a display. API control is available via TCP/IP using Lightware Control Protocol (LCP), and the unit integrates with Crestron, Extron, AMX, and Q-SYS control ecosystems through published drivers.

Key Features

• SDVoE / 10GbE Transport — Carries uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 video over standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, eliminating proprietary cabling.
• HDMI 2.0 Output with Onboard Scaler — Outputs up to 4K60 and scales incoming signals to match the display's native resolution without an external scaler.
• HDCP 2.2 Compliant — Supports full HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 content protection for secure delivery of protected content.
• USB 2.0 KVM Extension — Extends USB HID and peripheral devices over the IP network for shared KVM applications.
• Analog Audio De-embedding — Extracts analog stereo audio from the HDMI stream for routing to local amplifiers or DSP systems.
• RS-232 and IR Passthrough — Extends serial and infrared control signals bidirectionally across the AV-over-IP network.
• Fanless Operation — Silent, convection-cooled chassis suitable for boardrooms, courtrooms, and quiet presentation spaces.
• Multi-platform Control Integration — Compatible with Crestron, Extron, AMX, and Q-SYS via published third-party drivers and LCP API.

Typical Applications

• Higher education lecture capture and multi-display distribution
• Corporate campus AV-over-IP infrastructure with centralized management
• Broadcast and production monitoring walls requiring zero-latency video
• Control room video wall endpoints
• Government and military operations centers
• Large venue digital signage networks

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the HDMI-TPN-RX107AU2K require a dedicated 10GbE switch?

Yes. SDVoE transport requires 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches with IGMP snooping enabled for multicast video streams. Standard 1GbE switches are not sufficient for uncompressed 4K transport.

Can this receiver work with SDVoE transmitters from other manufacturers?

Yes. The SDVoE standard is an open ecosystem based on the Semtech BlueRiver chipset. The HDMI-TPN-RX107AU2K is interoperable with any certified SDVoE transmitter, including units from ZeeVee, Just Add Power (at 10G tier), and other SDVoE Alliance members.

What control systems have published drivers for this unit?

Lightware publishes drivers for Crestron (SIMPL and SIMPL#), Extron (Global Scripter), AMX (NetLinx), and Q-SYS. Control via TCP/IP using Lightware Control Protocol is also available for custom integrations.

Is the onboard scaler capable of handling mixed-resolution source environments?

Yes. The scaler can accept any input resolution supported by HDMI 2.0 and output a fixed resolution matching the display's EDID, which is particularly useful in multi-source environments where sources may vary between 1080p, 1440p, and 4K.

Does the unit support video wall configurations?

In conjunction with Lightware's LW3 software and compatible SDVoE management platforms, multiple HDMI-TPN-RX107AU2K units can be configured for video wall output with bezel correction. Consult Creation Networks for system design assistance.

What is the latency of the SDVoE link?

SDVoE using the Semtech BlueRiver chipset delivers approximately 1 frame of latency (approximately 16 ms at 60 Hz), which is considered zero-latency for broadcast and presentation use cases.

Can I purchase the receiver without the transmitter for a one-way point-to-point installation?

Yes. The HDMI-TPN-RX107AU2K is sold individually. It must be paired with an SDVoE-compatible transmitter — the matching Lightware HDMI-TPN-TX207AU2K is available separately at creationnetworks.net.
