LightWare HDMI-TPX-TX107D Full 4K HDMI 2.0 TPX transmitter with RS-232, IR, Ethernet and PoE remote powering (PoE receive); supports 4K UHD @ 60Hz RGB 4:4:4, up to 18 Gbps, HDCP 2.2., Dante audio output.

Product Overview

The Lightware HDMI-TPX-TX107D is a full 4K HDMI 2.0 TPX transmitter that extends HDMI 2.0 signals at up to 4K UHD 60Hz RGB 4:4:4 over fiber or CAT cable to a compatible TPX receiver. It supports up to 18Gbps video bandwidth, HDCP 2.2, and includes RS-232, IR, and Ethernet control pass-through, with PoE receive functionality allowing the unit to be remotely powered from the receiver. The Dante audio output enables integration with IP audio distribution networks. Part number 91580016.

Product Description

The HDMI-TPX-TX107D occupies a well-defined niche in professional AV: installations that need true 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 signal extension beyond the limits of HDMI cable runs, without the operational overhead of an AV-over-IP platform. TPX uses fiber or shielded twisted pair infrastructure to deliver uncompressed HDMI 2.0 signals at full bandwidth over distances not achievable with standard HDMI cabling.

HDCP 2.2 support ensures compatibility with UHD content from streaming devices, 4K Blu-ray players, and other protected sources. The Dante audio output is a distinguishing feature, allowing audio from the HDMI input to be routed to a Dante audio network for distribution or processing independently of the video path.

PoE receive allows the transmitter to be powered from the receiver unit over the TPX link, eliminating the need for a local power supply at the source end. Available from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware reseller.

Key Features

• 4K UHD 60Hz RGB 4:4:4 at 18Gbps — Full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth supports the highest quality UHD signals without compression or chroma subsampling
• HDCP 2.2 Compliance — Compatible with protected UHD content from 4K streaming, Blu-ray, and studio sources
• TPX Transmission — Extends HDMI 2.0 over fiber or shielded structured cabling beyond standard HDMI cable limits
• Dante Audio Output — Extracts audio from the HDMI source and distributes it over an IP audio (Dante) network for flexible audio routing
• PoE Receive (Remote Power) — Can be powered from the TPX receiver over the link cable, eliminating local power supply at the transmitter

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TPX transmission medium?

TPX supports both fiber optic and shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, depending on the specific TPX cable or module used. Fiber provides longer distance capability and immunity to ground loops, while STP offers cost advantages at shorter runs. Confirm cable type compatibility with your Lightware TPX receiver.

What maximum distance does the HDMI-TPX-TX107D support?

Maximum distance depends on the cable medium and TPX module used. Fiber configurations support significantly longer runs than copper, with distances exceeding several hundred meters possible on compatible TPX fiber links. Consult Lightware's TPX specification documentation for cable-specific distance limits.

Does this transmitter require a local power supply?

Not necessarily. The PoE receive feature allows the transmitter to be powered from the paired TPX receiver over the link cable. If the receiver does not supply PoE, an external 12V DC supply is required at the transmitter location.

What does the Dante audio output enable?

The Dante output extracts embedded audio from the incoming HDMI signal and places it on a Dante IP audio network. This allows the audio to be independently routed to Dante-compatible amplifiers, DSPs, or mixing consoles without additional audio breakout hardware.

Is the HDMI-TPX-TX107D compatible with 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 sources?

Yes. The unit supports 18Gbps bandwidth, which is the full HDMI 2.0 specification required for 4K 60Hz at full RGB 4:4:4 color. This distinguishes it from many competing extenders limited to 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 or 4K 30Hz.

What control systems are compatible?

The LW3 control protocol is supported by Crestron, AMX, Savant, Extron, and most commercial AV control platforms via RS-232 or Ethernet. Lightware provides driver documentation and third-party modules are available.

Where can I purchase the HDMI-TPX-TX107D?

Available from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware reseller serving commercial AV integrators across North America.
