Lightware HDMI-UCX-TPX-RX107 UCX Matrix Switcher Receiver - 91580010

Product Overview

The Lightware HDMI-UCX-TPX-RX107 is the receiver endpoint of the UCX Matrix system, designed for deployment in scalable AV-over-twisted-pair matrix installations. It receives HDMI 2.0 signals over Lightware's proprietary TPX (Twisted Pair Extender) cabling infrastructure, supporting resolutions up to 4K60 4:4:4. Purpose-built for corporate AV environments, higher education campuses, and broadcast facilities requiring centralized matrix routing over structured cabling.

Product Description

The HDMI-UCX-TPX-RX107 operates as a remote receiver node within the Lightware UCX Matrix ecosystem, terminating TPX extender links from the central matrix frame. It outputs HDMI 2.0 at the display end, delivering uncompressed 4K HDR video and multi-channel audio without perceptible latency. The unit supports HDCP 2.2 end-to-end, ensuring compatibility with protected content workflows.

Power over the link (PoL) allows the receiver to be powered directly from the matrix without local power supplies at the display location, simplifying installation in wall plates, huddle rooms, and ceiling-mounted display positions. The device integrates RS-232 and IR pass-through channels for remote control of connected displays, and Ethernet extension provides network connectivity to the display endpoint over the same TPX cable. LW3 protocol support allows integration with control systems including Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Lightware's own EDID Manager software.

Frequently Asked Questions

What matrix frame does the HDMI-UCX-TPX-RX107 connect to?

The RX107 is a receiver endpoint for Lightware UCX Matrix frames equipped with TPX output cards. It does not operate as a standalone extender — it requires a UCX Matrix frame on the transmitter side.

Does this receiver require a local power supply at the display location?

No. The unit receives power directly from the UCX Matrix frame via Power over Link (PoL) on the TPX cable, eliminating the need for a local power adapter at the endpoint.

What cable type does the TPX link use?

The TPX link operates over standard CATx (Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a) structured cabling, which is typically already present in commercial building infrastructure.

Can I control a display connected to the RX107 from the central rack?

Yes. The receiver passes RS-232 and IR signals bidirectionally over the TPX cable, allowing display power, input selection, and volume control from the matrix room or control system.

Is HDCP 2.2 supported for premium content playback?

Yes. The RX107 supports HDCP 2.2 end-to-end, making it suitable for distributing premium protected content from Blu-ray players, streaming appliances, and secure presentation sources.

How does EDID management work in a UCX Matrix system?

EDID is managed at the matrix level using Lightware's EDID Manager software or via LW3 protocol commands. The RX107 can emulate a specific EDID toward the source to ensure reliable signal negotiation regardless of the connected display's capabilities.

Where can I purchase the HDMI-UCX-TPX-RX107?

The Lightware HDMI-UCX-TPX-RX107 is available from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware reseller providing commercial AV solutions and integration support.
