Lightware HDMI-TPN-TX107 SDVoE compatible HDMI 2.0 transmitter - 91710003

Product Overview

The Lightware HDMI-TPN-TX107 is an SDVoE-compatible HDMI 2.0 transmitter that encodes and transports 4K/60 Hz video, audio, USB, and control signals over a standard managed Gigabit Ethernet network. It is the source-side endpoint in Lightware TPN Series AV-over-IP systems, pairing with the HDMI-TPN-RX107 receiver and the TPN-CTU-X50 control unit. The TX107 is engineered for enterprise, education, and broadcast environments requiring flexible, high-bandwidth video distribution without the distance and topology constraints of point-to-point cabling.

Product Description

The Lightware HDMI-TPN-TX107 accepts an HDMI 2.0 source signal and encodes it for transport over a managed Gigabit Ethernet network using the SDVoE protocol. It supports up to 4K/60 Hz at 4:4:4 chroma sampling with HDCP 2.2 pass-through, delivering broadcast-quality video to one or many HDMI-TPN-RX107 receivers on the same network. USB 2.0 HID extension is built in, enabling keyboard and mouse signals to travel alongside the video stream for KVM-over-IP use cases.

The transmitter can be powered via PoE+ from a compatible managed switch, simplifying cable runs at the source location. A built-in web interface and REST API allow direct device configuration, while the TPN-CTU-X50 control unit provides centralized routing and management across the full TPN deployment. The HDMI-TPN-TX107 supports both multicast and unicast distribution, making it suitable for point-to-point, one-to-many, and any-to-any routing topologies.

Key Features

• SDVoE-compatible AV-over-IP transmission — encodes HDMI 2.0 for transport over standard managed Gigabit Ethernet
• 4K/60 Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 input — full-bandwidth 4K signal capture from laptops, media players, and presentation systems
• HDCP 2.2 and 1.x compliant — passes protected content transparently across the TPN network
• USB 2.0 HID extension — transports keyboard and mouse signals for KVM-over-IP applications
• PoE+ powered (IEEE 802.3at) — single cable to the network switch handles both data and power
• Multicast and unicast support — one-to-many or point-to-point distribution from a single transmitter
• Built-in web interface and REST API — configurable independently or via TPN-CTU-X50 central control
• Compact fanless enclosure — suitable for under-table, lectern, or AV-rack source-side mounting

Typical Applications

• Conference rooms and boardrooms distributing presenter signals across a managed AV network
• University lecture capture systems sending 4K content to campus display networks
• Broadcast control rooms routing 4K sources to multiple operator monitors
• Digital signage headend installations feeding content across a building network
• KVM-over-IP systems for remote workstation access in data centers
• Rental and staging deployments requiring flexible, network-based signal distribution

Frequently Asked Questions

What receiver is compatible with the HDMI-TPN-TX107?

The HDMI-TPN-TX107 pairs with the Lightware HDMI-TPN-RX107 receiver. Any SDVoE-compatible receiver on the same managed network may also be compatible; confirm with Creation Networks for specific interoperability details.

How many receivers can one HDMI-TPN-TX107 feed simultaneously?

In multicast mode, a single HDMI-TPN-TX107 can feed an unlimited number of HDMI-TPN-RX107 receivers on the same network segment, subject to network bandwidth and switch capacity. This makes it ideal for digital signage and lecture distribution where one source reaches many displays.

Does the HDMI-TPN-TX107 require PoE+?

PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) is supported but not required. The unit can also be powered by an external DC power supply, providing flexibility for installations where the network switch does not support PoE+.

What is the maximum cable run from source to the TX107?

The HDMI input on the TX107 accepts standard HDMI 2.0 cable runs. For extended source cable runs, an HDMI cable extender or active cable may be used upstream of the TX107. The network portion of the signal path is limited only by the managed Ethernet infrastructure.

Is the TX107 compatible with laptop HDMI outputs?

Yes. The TX107 accepts standard HDMI 2.0 signals from laptops, desktop computers, media players, and any HDMI 2.0-compliant source. No special drivers or software are required on the source device.

Does this unit require the TPN-CTU-X50 to operate?

No. The HDMI-TPN-TX107 can be configured and operated via its own built-in web interface and REST API without the TPN-CTU-X50. The control unit is recommended for large multi-endpoint deployments requiring centralized routing and monitoring.

Where can I purchase the HDMI-TPN-TX107?

The Lightware HDMI-TPN-TX107 is available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net. Contact us for system design consultation and TPN deployment planning.
