Lightware HDMI-TPN-TX207AU2K SDVoE compatible HDMI 2.0 transmitter - 91710001

Product Overview

The Lightware HDMI-TPN-TX207AU2K is an SDVoE-compatible HDMI 2.0 transmitter engineered for uncompressed 4K AV-over-IP distribution across 10 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. It accepts HDMI 2.0 signals at up to 4K60 4:4:4 and transmits them over a single 10GbE connection with sub-frame latency to any number of SDVoE-compatible receivers on the same network. The unit includes analog audio embedding, USB 2.0 KVM extension, and RS-232/IR control passthrough, providing a complete transmit endpoint for enterprise AV systems. When deployed with the HDMI-TPN-RX107AU2K receiver, it delivers a visually lossless, scalable SDVoE distribution system for boardrooms, lecture halls, and production environments.

Product Description

Built on the Semtech BlueRiver SDVoE chipset, the HDMI-TPN-TX207AU2K encodes and transmits up to 18 Gbps of uncompressed HDMI 2.0 video over a standard 10GbE network port. The transmitter supports both unicast and multicast operation, enabling a single source to be distributed to multiple receive endpoints simultaneously without duplicating network bandwidth per stream — an essential characteristic for large-scale lecture hall or digital signage deployments. HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 are supported end-to-end for compliant content protection. An analog stereo audio input allows external audio sources to be embedded into the HDMI stream before network transmission. USB 2.0 extension carries keyboard, mouse, and HID device data back from the receiver location to the transmit-side host, enabling full KVM operation over IP. RS-232 and IR ports extend control signals in both directions. The unit is fanless and compact, suitable for rack or furniture installation, and integrates with Crestron, Extron, AMX, and Q-SYS platforms through Lightware's published drivers and LCP API.

Key Features

• SDVoE / 10GbE Transport — Transmits uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 over standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet — no proprietary cables or proprietary switches required.
• Unicast and Multicast Operation — Supports one-to-one and one-to-many distribution, allowing a single source to feed unlimited displays without multiplying bandwidth.
• HDMI 2.0 Input — Accepts signals up to 4096x2160 @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 color, HDR10, and HLG pass-through.
• HDCP 2.2 Compliant — Full content protection from source to receiver for secure distribution of protected media.
• USB 2.0 KVM Extension — Routes keyboard, mouse, and USB HID devices from the receiver location back to the source for shared KVM control.
• Analog Audio Embedding — Accepts external stereo analog audio and embeds it into the transmitted HDMI stream.
• RS-232 and IR Passthrough — Extends serial and IR control bidirectionally over the IP network to paired receivers.
• Fanless, Compact Form Factor — Silent operation with no moving parts; mounts at the source device location with minimal footprint.

Typical Applications

• University lecture hall multi-display distribution from a single faculty PC
• Corporate campus AV-over-IP with centralized source management
• Broadcast and production monitoring feeds over IP infrastructure
• Digital signage content distribution across a 10GbE campus network
• Government and defense operations centers requiring secure, low-latency video distribution
• House of worship IMAG and overflow room feeds

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of network switch is required for the HDMI-TPN-TX207AU2K?

A managed 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch with IGMP snooping enabled is required. Recommended manufacturers include Cisco, Aruba, and Netgear M4300 series. Standard 1GbE switches cannot carry uncompressed 4K video streams.

How many receivers can one transmitter feed simultaneously?

With multicast enabled on the network switch, a single HDMI-TPN-TX207AU2K can feed an unlimited number of SDVoE receivers simultaneously without multiplying bandwidth — each additional receiver adds no additional load on the transmitter or uplink.

Is this transmitter compatible with third-party SDVoE receivers?

Yes. Because SDVoE is an open standard based on the Semtech BlueRiver platform, the HDMI-TPN-TX207AU2K is interoperable with certified SDVoE receivers from other manufacturers in the SDVoE Alliance.

Can the USB KVM feature be used for touch screen control?

The USB 2.0 HID extension supports standard USB touchscreen devices, provided they are HID-class compliant. For specialized USB devices, verify compatibility with Lightware before deployment.

Does this unit support EDID management?

Yes. EDID can be managed via Lightware Device Controller software or LCP API, allowing the transmitter to present a fixed EDID to the source regardless of downstream display capabilities.

What is the maximum cable distance from the source to the transmitter?

The HDMI input cable from the source device to the transmitter should follow standard HDMI 2.0 passive cable limits (typically up to 5 m for 4K60). Active HDMI cables or fiber HDMI extenders can be used for longer source-to-transmitter runs.

Where can I purchase the HDMI-TPN-TX207AU2K and request a quote for a full SDVoE system?
