Lightware HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus HDBaseT™ Receiver with Relay Modules and Balanced Audio Out - 91540070

Product Overview

The Lightware HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus is an HDBaseT receiver that combines HDMI video output with integrated relay modules and balanced audio output, designed for commercial AV installations where display automation and audio distribution are required at the endpoint. It receives HDMI video and audio over a single CATx cable from a compatible TPS transmitter, and provides relay contact closures for display power control and balanced audio output for routing to room amplifiers or DSPs. This makes it a particularly capable receiver for boardrooms, conference rooms, and auditoriums where automated room control is required.

Product Description

The HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus extends HDBaseT-compatible TPS signals from a transmitter over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable and provides HDMI output at the display location. In addition to standard TPS receiver functionality, the unit includes integrated relay modules that can be used to control display power, screen drops, lighting, or other room automation devices that require dry contact control. This eliminates the need for a separate relay control box at the display endpoint, reducing equipment count and simplifying system design.

The balanced audio output extracts the embedded audio from the HDMI signal and provides it on a balanced XLR or terminal block output, allowing the room amplifier or DSP to receive a clean, interference-resistant audio feed without additional audio extractors. RS-232 and IR pass-through channels enable display control from the transmitter or a central control system. EDID management is programmable at the receiver for consistent handshaking. The LW3 control protocol integrates with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other control systems for full room automation capability.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the relay contacts on the RX110AY-Plus control?

The relay contacts are dry-contact closures that can trigger any device using contact-closure control: displays (via display power relay input), motorized projection screens, room lighting circuits, HVAC occupancy systems, electronic door locks, and other building automation devices. They are typically controlled by the room control system via LW3 commands sent to the receiver.

How does the balanced audio output work?

The receiver extracts the analog audio embedded in the HDMI signal from the TPS link and outputs it on a balanced connection. Balanced audio provides significantly better rejection of electrical interference over long cable runs compared to unbalanced HDMI audio, making it appropriate for sending audio to room amplifiers, DSPs, or ceiling speaker distribution systems.

Does this receiver require a local power supply?

The unit includes a local power supply input. Whether it can also receive power from the TPS link depends on the specific transmitter pairing — confirm with Lightware documentation or Creation Networks for your specific configuration.

What transmitter is compatible with the HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus?

The receiver is compatible with Lightware TPS transmitters in the supported series. Contact Creation Networks for a confirmed transmitter pairing recommendation based on your cable run lengths and resolution requirements.

Can the relay and audio functions be controlled independently of the video signal?

Yes. The relay contacts and audio output can be managed independently via LW3 commands from the control system, allowing separate control of room automation functions regardless of the video signal state.

Is this receiver suitable for a house of worship or auditorium with a professional audio system?

Yes. The balanced audio output is specifically suited to feeding professional audio systems, including mixing consoles, DSPs, and amplifier racks, where balanced interconnects are standard and hum/noise rejection over long cable runs is required.

Where can I purchase the HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus?

Available from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware reseller for commercial AV integration projects including conference rooms, auditoriums, and houses of worship.
