Lightware MX-4TPS2-4HDMI-OB-A Analog TPS and HDMI Combo Output Boar...
Product Overview
The Lightware MX-4TPS2-4HDMI-OB-A is a combination output board for the Lightware MX modular matrix router series, providing four HDMI and four HDBaseT single-CAT outputs with analog audio support. As the output-side counterpart to the MX-4TPS2-4HDMI-IB-A input board, it routes signals from the MX-FR matrix frame to both local HDMI displays and remote endpoints over single CAT5/6/7 cable infrastructure. Cable runs up to 120m in HDBaseT mode and 170m in Long Reach mode (Full HD maximum) are supported. This board targets commercial AV deployments requiring flexible hybrid HDMI and TPS output distribution within a scalable modular matrix architecture.

Product Description
The MX-4TPS2-4HDMI-OB-A provides eight output channels per card — four direct HDMI 1.4 outputs and four HDBaseT (TPS) single-CAT outputs — from the MX-FR modular matrix. The HDBaseT outputs carry HDMI 1.4 video, audio, Ethernet, and RS-232 over a single CAT cable to compatible TPS receiver extenders, enabling remote display connection without running HDMI cable. The ‘-A’ designation indicates this variant includes balanced analog audio ports for audio de-embedding at the output stage.
Supported resolutions include 4K UHD at 30Hz RGB 4:4:4 and 60Hz YCbCr 4:2:0, with 48-bit color depth, 3D signal handling, and HDCP compliance. Bi-directional RS-232 and Ethernet are provided on each TPS output port, with a 10/100 uplink per board for Ethernet connectivity. Per-port EDID management, Pixel Accurate Reclocking on outputs, and HDCP control round out the signal management capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which frames is this output board compatible with?
- The MX-4TPS2-4HDMI-OB-A is designed for Lightware MX-FR series modular frames, including MX-FR9, MX-FR17, MX-FR33, MX-FR65, and MX-FR80. Verify slot availability in your specific frame before ordering.
- What is the difference between OB-A and OB-AP?
- The ‘-A’ variant includes analog audio I/O for audio de-embedding. The ‘-AP’ variant additionally includes Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery to TPS extender receivers, eliminating the need for local power at remote endpoints. The OB-A does not provide PoE.
- What TPS receivers work with this output board?
- Lightware HDBaseT-compatible receivers in the HDMI-TPS-RX and similar product lines are designed for use with this output board. Third-party HDBaseT receivers may also be compatible — verify per project requirements.
- Can I mix OB-A and OB-AP boards in the same frame?
- Yes. MX-FR frames support mixing of different board types in different slots, allowing flexibility to provide PoE in some output zones while using the standard -A board in others.
- What audio formats are supported on the analog outputs?
- The analog audio ports support balanced stereo de-embedding from HDMI-embedded audio. The TPS signal path supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA as embedded audio within the HDMI signal.
