1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing Lightware’s TPX and OPTX series extenders. In the first chapter we would like to introduce the device by highlighting the most important features in the sections listed below:

1.1. Description

TPX / OPTX Series Extenders

The TPX / OPTX series transmitter and receiver devices are based on SDVoE technology and allow users to extend HDMI 2.0 compliant video, audio and control signals from a single source to a single destination when they are directly connected.

The Gigabit Ethernet ports are valuable additions allowing users to connect Ethernet capable devices to the corporate user network directly through the TPX extender. This is particularly useful for controlling external devices like projectors and displays.

Beyond the benefits of receiving high-resolution video with corresponding audio content through a distance of at most 100m, the HDMI-TPX-RX107A-SR is also able to handle various connectivity standards including a 1GbE user Ethernet channel over the TPX link, as well as command injection into RS-232.

HDCP 2.3 and basic EDID management functionality are also among the features offered by these devices, such as their connectivity and easy integration into a wide range of AV operations and compatibility with 3rd party devices.

The -U2K series devices are USB2.0 capable extenders also allow transparent and composite USB2.0 transmission in the opposite direction.

The -SR series built-in scaler can cater for adjusting the video content to the format of the attached display. Moreover, the scaler is also able to handle glitches in the video arriving at the input of the corresponding transmitter by outputting an uninterrupted HDMI signal.

The -D series transmitters and receivers allow immediate audio signal de-embedding from the HDMI source that can be then directly sent to an external, Dante®/AES67 capable audio system.

The OPTX family of the products is a version of Lightware’s SDVoE-based TPX Series point-to-point extenders that deliver HDMI 2.0 signals up to 4K60Hz 4:4:4 with ultra-low latency (under 8ms) over a single-mode or multi-mode fiber optics cable up to 300 meters or 10 km, depending on the SFP+ module used.

1.4. Features

List of All Features (In Alphabetic Order)

	4K Support
	Up to HDMI 2.0 4K 2160p@60Hz 4:4:4 video input or 4096x2160@60Hz resolution over a 10 Gigabit network with extra low latency.
	Analog Audio Support
	External analog audio signal can be de-embedded at both the transmitter and receiver sides in case of -A series extenders.
	Dante® or AES67 Audio De-embedding
	The audio of the HDMI signal can be transmitted as a 2-channel Dante® or AES67 source from the -D series models over the dedicated RJ45 connector.
	HDCP 2.3 Compliant
	The TPX extenders comply to the HDCP 2.3 standard. HDCP capability on the digital video inputs can be disabled when non-protected content is extended.
	Local Video Output
	User can attach a local monitor to observe the video signal sent through the TPX ports. The resolution and clock frequency are the same as the HDMI inputs, no internal scaling or conversion is applied.
	Modular SFP+ Interface
	OPTX series endpoints use standard, certified 10 Gbps SFP+ optical modules, which are plug and play, so they are swappable by the user.
	Remote Power (PoE)
	Extender devices fulfill the PoE PD and PoE PD+PSE standards (according to IEEE 802.3af) which means they can be powered over the TPX line by a compatible power source equipment.
	Scaling the Output Image
	Video scaling of -SR series receivers is the process of changing the size of a video frame in order to match the native resolution of a sink. It involves converting the resolution to a higher or lower format, and also a change in aspect ratio; typically from 4:3 to 16:9.
	Seamless Switching (Clean Cut)
	HDMI-TPX-SR series extenders provide seamless switching (clean cut) technology. Apart from being able to scale the video to the resolution of the connected display, seamless switching provides uninterrupted video output when switching between two streams regardless of the format of the video content. Moreover, switching is instantaneous, thus it provides excellent user experience.
	Serial Data Transmission
	Transparent serial data transmission is available between the endpoints, both transmitter and receiver devices.
	USB KVM Extension Powered by Icron
	KVM extension for USB HID (Human Interface Devices, e.g. webcamera, keyboard, mouse, presenter) and Mass Storage devices (Flash drive, Hard drive).

4. CATx Cable Diagnostics for TPX Extenders

The chapter summarizes the knowledge and best practices for the TPX CATx cable diagnostics for a better AV network. The following sections can be found in the chapter:

4.1. Bandwidth Requirement of SDVoE Technology

The TPX series transmitter and receiver devices are Lightware’s development allowing users to extend HDMI 2.0 signals up to 4K60 4:4:4 video resolution through 10G Ethernet networks.

The following table shows Lightware’s HDBaseTTM and AV over IP product lines grouped by required data rate.

Product Family	Required Data Rate
VINX	1G
Gemini (GVN)	1G
TPS (HDBaseTTM)	10G
TPX	10G
TPN	10G
UBEX	10G / 20G

4.2. Maximum Cable Extensions

The maximum applicable cable extension is defined by Semtech, the vendor of the SDVoE technology. Lightware has tested the maximum allowed cable lengths on the TPX extenders.

Resolution	CATx CAT6a AWG24
All resolutions	100 m
	328 feet

4.3. Recommended CATx Cable Types

Lightware highly recommends using at least CAT6a AWG 24 shielded (S/FTP or S/UTP or SF/UTP or SF/FTP) or higher category 10G Ethernet cables for the TPX or TPN (SDVoE) connection between the transmitter/receiver and the network switch. Usage of e.g. AWG 28 Ethernet cables may reduce the extension distance significantly.

UTP Category	Data Rate	Shielded / Unshielded	Protection Type		Applicable for TPX / TPN Systems
CAT5	Up to 100 Mbps	Unshielded	F/UTP U/FTP F/FTP		
CAT5e	Up to 1 Gbps	Unshielded			
CAT6	Up to 10 Gbps	Unshielded			
CAT6	Up to 10 Gbps	Shielded	S/FTP S/UTP SF/UTP SF/FTP		
CAT6a	Up to 10 Gbps	Shielded			
CAT7	Up to 10 Gbps	Shielded			
CAT7a	Up to 10 Gbps	Shielded			

Recommended CATx Cable Model

▪Draka MFO 23

=CAT7, S/FTP, AWG 23

=10GBase-T certified cable

=HDBase-TTM certified cable

=datasheet >>here<<

4.4. Testing the Reliability of the Cabling

Lightware recommends testing the Ethernet cables before the final installation of TPX / TPN systems. One of the best cable testing tools is the Fluke Cable Tester, which is used by Lightware as well to ensure our quality standards.

▪Fluke Networks MicroScannerTM Cable / PoE Tester

=Recommended for TPX cabling tests

▪Fluke Networks LinkIQ™ Cable+Network Tester

=Recommended for TPN cabling tests

▪Fluke Networks Industrial Ethernet DSX CableAnalyzer™ Kit

=Recommended for TPX and TPN cabling tests

4.5. Keystones

Lightware highly recommends applying a maximum of two keystones (and cable patches) - one on the transmitter and one on the receiver side. Applying more than two keystones may cause signal loss or jitter in the transmission, moreover the noise sensitivity of the system may be significantly higher.

All termination styles of keystones are acceptable (punch-down style, toolless, pass-through and coupler). The most important thing is to pay attention to the correct and trustworthy installation of the wires and make sure they do not move while in use.

When a keystone or patch cable is assembled, always make sure that the foil and the shielding are unharmed at the connector ends, otherwise the cable will be very sensitive to signal noises.

Example

4.6. Tips & Tricks for the Best TPX Experience

Follow these best practices for TPX and TPN systems easily installable and sustainable.

▪Check the cable length - shall be no longer than 100 m / 328 feet

▪Check the cable type - minimum requirement is CAT6a, shielded, S/FTP, AWG 24, but better cables result in a more relaible AV network

▪No more than two keystones - if it must be more than two, make sure the shielding and foiling is unharmed

▪Test the cables for 10G bandwidth before the installation

The signal is transmitted over the TPX or OPTX output port toward the receivers.There is no signal processing (scaling, color conversion, etc) available on the transmitter side except the signal compressing, see more details in the Signal Compression by the SDVoE Technology section about it. The HDMI output port of the TX209AK, TX209AK-V2, TX209AU2K and TX209DU2K models is an HDMI loop-back port and can be used as local HDMI output.

The -A series models are built with an analog audio output port, which de-embeds the audio signal of the HDMI stream and transmits it after the digital-to-analog signal conversion. The port supports 2-channel analog balanced signal with 48 kHz sampling frequency.

The -D series models are built with a Dante®/AES67 digital audio output port, which de-embeds the audio signal of the HDMI stream and transmits it toward the audio sink device. The port supports 2-channel PCM signal with 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.

Receivers

The TPX and OPTX series receivers can receive one HDMI 2.0 audio/video stream up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 resolution from the transmitter over the TPX input port. The stream is transmitted toward to the sink device over the HDMI output port.

The -A series models are built with an analog audio output port, which de-embeds the audio signal of the HDMI stream and transmits it after the digital-to-analog signal conversion. The port supports 2-channel analog balanced signal with 48 kHz sampling frequency.

The -D series models are built with a Dante®/AES67 digital audio output port, which de-embeds the audio signal of the HDMI stream and transmits it toward the audio sink device. The port supports 2-channel PCM signal with 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.

The -SR series receivers have an integrated scaler that can fit the resolution to the connected sink device. These receivers fulfill the seamless switching (clean cut) features.

ATTENTION!A hot-plug event triggers EDID-based scaling in the -SR series scaling receivers by default operation. See more details about it in the Scaler Operation by Default section.

Powering Options

In case of the TPX-106 series extenders, the TPX port fulfills the PoC powering method, which means the devices are able to send power to each other within the -106 series models.

In case of the TPX-107 series extenders, the TPX port fulfills the PoE PD (IEEE802.3af) standard, which means the device can receive power from the connected remote device.

In case of the TPX-209 series extenders, the TPX port fulfills the PoE PD + PoE PSE (IEEE802.3af) standard, which means the device can receive or send power from the connected remote device.

See more information about it in the Powering Options section.

5.1.2. Signal Compression by the SDVoE Technology

SDVoE technology applies signal compression only if the AV signal is above HDMI 1.4 standard, and the required bandwidth of the transmission would reach 10 Gbps.

The compression ratio on the TPX / OPTX output ports is 1.4 to 1.

ATTENTION!Lightware highly recommends using CAT6a AWG24 or higher category 10G Ethernet cables for the TPX (SDVoE) connection between the transmitter/receiver and the network switch. Usage of e.g. AWG28 Ethernet cables may reduce the extension distance significantly. Learn more in the CATx Cable Diagnostics for TPX Extenders chapter.

5.1.3. Dante® Audio Interface

DIFFERENCE:The following section refers to the -TX107D, -TX209DU2K, -RX107D and -RX109DU2K models.

The -D series models contain a special module that allows the de-embedding of the audio stream from the incoming HDMI signal and transmitting it as a 2-channel Dante® or AES67 source over the dedicated RJ45 connector. #dante #audio

Supported Audio

Audio type	Signal support
2-ch LPCM *	supported
Multichannel	not supported
Compressed DTS/Dolby	not supported

* The supported sample rates are 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.

Dante® is a registered trademark of Audinate Pty Ltd.

Important Notes

▪The AES67 mode is supported, which can be set in the Dante® Controller software.

▪Multichannel or encoded audio format cannot be de-embedded. In this case, no audio is sent to the Dante® network.

5.1.4. Analog Audio Interface

The TPX/OPTX series transmitter devices transmit the embedded HDMI audio signal over the TPX (CATx) or OPTX (fiber optical) interfaces. The receivers accept and transmit it to the sink devices. The -A series transmitters and receivers can de-embed the HDMI audio and transmit it as an analog audio signal over the 5-pole Phoenix port.

5.2. Scaler Function of the Receiver

DIFFERENCE:Only HDMI-TPX-RX107A-SR and HDMI-TPX-RX107AU2K-SR receiver models have integrated scaler function.

5.2.1. Scaling Modes

ATTENTION!The following settings are available in BleRiver AV Manager (Config Submenu) only.

The -SR receiver models are built with integrated scaler function. Five different scaler operation modes can be selected in the endpoint as following.

Genlock

There is no scaling on the output.

▪No frame drop

▪Ultra-low latency

▪No FPS conversion.

ATTENTION!This mode is validated for up to three network switch hops.

Genlock Scaling

Scaler function is on.

▪The clock frequency of the receiver is syncronized with the transmitter's.

▪No frame drop.

▪Ultra-low latency.

▪No FPS conversion.

ATTENTION!This mode is validated for up to three network switch hops.

Fastswitch

INFO:This mode is the default in the receiver.

Scaler function is on, optimized for fast switching between the source streams.

▪The clock frequency can be set by the user.

▪There is no network switch hop limitation.

▪Crosspoint switch can be performed fast.

▪One or two frames delay may happen.

Wall FS

Optimized for video wall application. Similar method as the fastswitch scaling.

▪There is no network switch hop limitation.

▪Crosspoint switch can be performed fast.

▪One or two frames delay and tearing effect on the video wall may happen.

Wall

Optimized for video wall application. Similar method as the genlock scaling.

▪The clock frequency of the receiver is syncronized with the transmitter's.

▪No frame drop.

▪Ultra-low latency.

▪No FPS conversion.

ATTENTION!This mode is validated for up to three network switch hops.

5.2.2. The Limitations of the Scaler

Bandwidth Related Limitations

The scaler function has bandwidth limitation, which in the practice means that the compression of the original picture is not possible below specific settings. When the scaling is not applicable, the error symptoms could be a flashing screen or displaying a black screen.

The following resolutions cannot be scaled while keeping the aspect ratio:

▪3840x2160 to

=640x480; 800x600; 960x1280; 1024x768; 1050x1400; 1200x1600

▪4096x2160 to

=1280x768; 1680x1050; 1200x1900

Color Space / Color Depth Related Limitations

If the scaler function is enabled in the receiver, the output is always RGB 8 bit/channel.

5.2.3. Scaler Operation by Default

ATTENTION!The following description is related to all models of -SR series scaling receivers.

If a hot-plug event (see examples below) happens with the scaling receiver, the device is restored to EDID-based scaling, therefore the preferred resolution of the sink device is being applied in the scaler. The desired scaler setting is required to be set again.

Hot-plug Event Examples:

▪restarting of the scaling receiver

▪momentary power outage

▪unplugging and re-plugging of the CATx cable in the TPX input port when the receiver is powered remotely (PoE)

▪unplugging and re-plugging of the HDMI output cable

Does not Cause Hot-plug Event:

▪TPX connection error (e.g. unplugging and re-plugging of the CATx cable in the TPX input port if the receiver is not powered over the CATx cable (PoE))

6.4. Monitoring Menu

Device cards in the Monitoring menu

The available devices on the network are listed in the Monitoring menu one-by-one on Device cards. There are three submenus on each cards:

▪Config - General and video/audio/control signal-related settings of the extender.

▪Details - General and status information about the extenders.

▪Diagnostic - Network-related diagnostic tool.

When a device card is opened from the Monitoring menu, the default submenu is the Details.

The following information can be found on the Device cards:

▪Device name: it is managed through the Configuration tool.

▪Type: There are two possible TPX / OPTX device types. TX (transmitter) that has an HDMI Input. RX (receiver) that has an HDMI output.

▪Chipset / Firmware version: Lists the BlueRiver chipset used by the device as well as current firmware version.

▪Icon: A configurable pictogram to emphasize the type of HDMI device that is connected to the endpoint.

▪HDMI connector: Illustrates the HDMI connection status. Green indicates that a cable is connected while grey indicates that there is no cable connected. The associated arrow indicates if the connector is an input or an output.

▪Color: Online devices are white. Devices running on fallback golden firmware are yellow, while a greyed-out device indicates that the device is offline (powered off or disconnected from the network).

▪Output mode: Applies only to RX devices, not applicable to TX devices. Devices that have an HDMI output can operate in the following output modes: GL (Genlock), GL-S (Genlock Scaling), FS (Fast Switch), W-GL (Wall-Genlock), W-FS (Wall-Fast Switch) and MV (Multiview). The output mode is configured using the Configuration tool.

▪Video stream: Applies only to TX and TR devices, not applicable to RX devices. Up to two LEDs indicate video streaming status. The top LED represents the native video stream while the bottom LED indicates the scaled video stream. When the LED is green, the stream is started. When the LED is dark, the stream is stopped.

INFO:The BlueRiver AV Manager uses the native video stream except for Multiview mode, which utilizes the scaled stream.

▪Audio stream: Up to three visible LEDs are present, which indicate the audio streaming status. The top LED represents the HDMI audio stream, the middle LED represents the Multichannel auxiliary audio stream, and the bottom LED represents the Stereo auxiliary audio stream. When the LED is green, the stream is started, and when dark, the stream is stopped. LED visibility is dependent on the audio settings in the Settings Menu see that section for more information.

▪Video subscriptions: Applies to RX and TR devices and indicates the number of active video subscriptions.

6.5. Configure Menu

6.5.1. Devices

6.6. Settings Menu

Application settings are accessed directly through the navigation panel.

Settings menu

SDVoE Control Server: When BlueRiver AV Manager is started, it connects to the local BlueRiver AV Manager API or to the SDVoE API configured in the BlueRiver AV Manager configuration.conf file if this config is present. Once BlueRiver AV Manager is running, it is possible to change this, and for BlueRiver AV Manager to connect to a different API via either HTTP or HTTPS by entering the desired API IP address and port in the global settings SDVoE Control Server text boxes and clicking on the CONNECT button.

Audio Routing: By default, when using the Operate tool to route video, the associated audio has to be routed separately. Enabling this option allows any audio received from the video source to be automatically routed to the same destinations as the video.

Multiview modes: Multiview relies on additional scaled video streams that can interfere with the native source video stream (not enough bandwidth to carry both). When in Performance mode, Multiview layouts are rendered in lower resolution to reduce the bandwidth usage to accommodate both the native and scaled streams used for Multiview. On the other hand, Quality mode renders Multiview layouts at full resolution while automatically stopping the native video stream.

Security: By default, user login is disabled. Enable this option to activate username and password login.

6.7. Connection via Mobile Device

7. BlueRiver API Control Commands

This section refers to the HDMI video and HDMI audio interfaces of the endpoint devices and describes several related control commands with examples. Two methods are described for the same task in each section: TCI API and REST API.

7.1. Instructions for the Terminal Application Usage

7.1.1. Terminal Application

The SDVoE (BlueRiver) protocol commands can be applied to the TPX and OPTX series extenders using a terminal application. You need to install one of them to your control device, for example YAT (Yet Another Terminal) or Putty.

Establishing Connection

Follow the steps to establish connection to the device:

Step 1.Connect the endpoint to a LAN over Ethernet.

Step 2.Open the terminal application (e.g. YAT).

Step 3.Set the New Terminal window as follows:

▪Terminal type: Text

▪I/O Type: TCP/IP Client

▪Remote Host: the IP address of the endpoint

▪Remote TCP Port: 6970

Step 4.Select the OK button and open the connection.

Once the terminal window is opened, you can enter the BlueRiver protocol commands, which are listed in the following sections.

7.1.2. Web Browser Plugins

REST API interface can be easily accessed via a web browser's plugin, see the example below:

RESTClient plugin for Mozilla Firefox

7.2. BlueRiver API Management Structure Explanation

This section explains how the BlueRiver API management structure works.

7.2.1. Command Types

The BlueRiver Control Server (API) supports two types of commands:

Immediate: This type of command always immediately returns with either a success or error status.

Background: These commands complete a task in the background. The response of these commands is retrieved using a request command. A unique request ID is assigned to each command of this type when it is issued and using the request command, the user can poll the status of the request.

7.2.2. Background Commands

Implementing background commands prevents stalling client software execution. They prevent the API from waiting for a device to complete a command’s execution. Instead, commands return with a status of “PROCESSING” along with a unique request ID in the request_id member of a response.

The request command is then used with the request ID to retrieve the command’s return.

In the REST API, a PROCESSING response has the HTTP status 201 Created. The Location HTTP header of the response provides a link to the appropriate request resource.

The BlueRiver Control Server (API) buffers command returns and notification events.

The lifecycle of a background command is as follows:

▪Valid background commands return with the status member set to PROCESSING, along with a unique request ID specified in the JSON response.

▪In case of an error, such as “illegal argument”, the command immediately returns an ERROR status.

▪After a command has been issued, its status is retrieved using the request ID through the request command:

=If the command is still being handled, the request command returns a PROCESSING status.

=Once the command has completed, the request command returns a SUCCESS status, as well as the return value (i.e. returned data) of the command.

▪Once a command completes, the event REQUEST_COMPLETE is triggered.

=Once a REQUEST_COMPLETE event is triggered for a given request ID, the request command is guaranteed to return with a SUCCESS status when the request ID is called.

Summary of Command Lifecycle

7.3. Rest API HTTP Command Basics

The following table summarizes the REST API based HTTP commands and their functions.

Command	Description
GET	The GET method requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using GET should only retrieve data and should not contain a request content.
POST	The POST method submits an entity to the specified resource, often causing a change in state or side effects on the server.
PUT	The PUT method replaces all current representations of the target resource with the request content.
DELETE	The DELETE method deletes the specified resource.

INFO:There are commands that immediately take effect and there are commands that need time to be executed. In case of the latter, the status PROCESSING is returned. The final status of the execution can be queried based on the request_id.

8. Firmware Update

This chapter is meant to help customers perform firmware updates on our products by giving a few tips on how to start and by explaining the features of the Lightware Device Updater v2 (LDU2) software. The latest software and firmware pack can be downloaded from www.lightware.com.

ATTENTION!While the firmware is being updated, the normal operation mode is suspended, as the device is switched to bootload mode. Signal processing is not performed. Do not interrupt the firmware update. If any problem occurs, reboot the device and restart the process.

8.1. Introduction

Lightware Device Updater v2 (LDU2) software is the second generation of the LFP-based (Lightware Firmware Package) firmware update process. #update #firmwareupdate

8.2. Preparation

The devices can be updated over Ethernet or TPX/OPTX interface.

If you want to update the firmware of one or more devices, you need the following:

▪LFP2 file,

▪LDU2 software installed on your PC or Mac.

Both can be downloaded from www.lightware.com.

Optionally, you can download the release notes file in HTML format.

8.2.1. Reserved Ports of the SDVoE Control Server

If the BlueRiver AV Manager and the SDVoE Control Server is installed, several ports are reserved by the software, see the complete list of the reserved ports in the Applied Network Ports section.

ATTENTION!If the following ports are opened, the LDU2 cannot discover the TPX/OPTX series devices. Lightware recommends stopping these services until the firmware updating is completed.

8.2.2. About the Firmware Package (LFP2 File)

All the necessary tools and binary files are packed into the LFP2 package file. You only need this file to do the update on your device.

▪This allows the use of the same LFP2 package for different devices.

▪The package contains all the necessary components, binary, and other files.

▪The release notes is included in the LFP2 file, and is displayed in the window where you select the firmware package file in LDU2.

8.2.3. LDU2 Installation

ATTENTION!Minimum system requirement: 2 GB RAM. The minimum display resolution is 1600x900.

INFO:The Windows and the Mac applications have the same look and functionality.

Download the software from www.lightware.com.

Installation in case of Windows OS

Run the installer. If the User Account Control displays a pop-up message, click Yes.

Installation Modes

Normal install	Snapshot install
Available for Windows, macOS and Linux	Available for Windows
The installer can update only this instance	Cannot be updated
One updateable instance may exist for all users	Many different versions can be installed for all users

ATTENTION!Using the default Normal install is highly recommended.

INFO:If you have a previously installed version, you will be prompted to remove the old version before installing the new one.

Installation in case of macOS

Mount the DMG file by double clicking on it, and drag the LDU2 icon over the Applications icon to copy the program into the Applications folder. If you want to copy LDU2 into another location, just drag the icon over the desired folder.

ATTENTION!Please check the firewall settings on the macOS device. LDC needs to be added to the exeptions of the blocked softwares for the proper operation.

INFO:This type of installer is equal to the Normal install on Windows.

Installation in case of Linux

Step 1.Download the archive file (tar.gz) from www.lightware.com and unpack it to a temp folder.

Step 2.Run the install_ldu2.sh file in the temp folder. The script will install LDU2 into the following folder: HOME/.local/share/lightware/ldu2.

Step 3.The folder above will contain this file: LightwareDeviceUpdaterV2.sh, which can be used to start LDU2.

8.3. Running the Software

You have two options:

▪Starting the LDU2 by double-clicking on the shortcut/program file, or

▪Double-clicking on an LFP2 file.

LDU2 Auto-Update

At startup, the software checks if a newer version is available on the web.

Main Screen

When the software is started by the shortcut, the device discovery screen appears. Press the Discover devices button to start finding the Lightware devices:

If you start the software by double-clicking on the LFP2 file, the firmware will be loaded. Press the Discover devices button; all the devices will be listed that are compatible with the selected firmware pack.

INFO:If you press the Choose package file button, the release notes of the LFP2 file will be displayed in the right panel; see the Step 1. Select the Firmware Package section.

Device List

When the discovery has completed, the devices available on the network are listed in the application.

If the desired device is not discovered, you can add it by typing the IP address or the host name in the dedicated field and pressing the Add device button.

ATTENTION!If the device cannot be added by the hostname, please use the IP address.

Legend of the Icons

	IP address editor	The IP address of the device can be changed in the pop-up window.
	Identify me	Clicking on the icon results in the front panel LEDs blinking for 10 seconds, which helps to identify the device phisically.
	Favorite device	The device has been marked, thus the IP address is stored. When a device is connected with that IP address, the star will be highlighted in that line.
	Further information available	Device is unreachable. Change the IP address by pressing the IP address editor icon or use the front panel buttons (if available).
	Service mode	The device is in bootload mode. Backup and restore cannot be performed in this case.

8.4. Updating Via GUI

Step 1. Select the Firmware Package

Click on the Choose Firmware Package button and navigate to the location where the LFP2 file of the device is saved. When you click on the name of package, the preview of the release notes is displayed on the right side.

Firmware file browser and the release notes window

After the package file is loaded, the list is filtered to show compatible devices only. The current firmware version of the device is highlighted in orange if it is different from the version of the package loaded.

Filtered device list based on the selected firmware package

Step 2. Select the Device for Updating

Pick the device(s) for updating. The selected line will be highlighted in green.

The unit is selected for updating

Step 3. Check the Update Options.

ATTENTION!The default settings in the Parameters window should be fine for most cases. Please do not modify them if it is not necessary.

Click on the Parameters button to configure the firmware update.

Device Configuration Settings

▪Keep the configuration settings: the configuration settings of the endpoint will be restored after the firmware update.

▪Factory reset the device: if it is checked, all user settings and parameters will be cleared and the factory default settings will be applied to the device when the update is done.

Press the Apply button to finish the Update Options.

Step 4. Start the Update and Wait until It is Finished.

Click on the Start Update button to start the procedure.

The status is shown in percent in the right side of the device line and the status of all of the procedures is shown in the lower light green progress bar.

Firmware update is in progress

INFO:The device might reboot several times during the firmware update procedure.

Step 5. Wait until the Unit Reboots with the New Firmware.

Once the firmware update procedure is completed, the unit reboots with the new firmware.

Firmware update procedure is done

8.5. Command Line Interface (CLI)

DIFFERENCE:The Command Line Interface is available from LDU2 v2.9.0b9.

The CLI of the LDU2 software is a simple tool for creating scriptable device updates without the need of human interactions. It allows batch updating just like in case of GUI usage.

8.5.1. How to Run

Running under Windows® OS

The installer of LDU2 puts the following file into the installation folder:

LightwareDeviceUpdaterV2_CLI.cmd

CLI is available via this file, the exe is not suitable for that purpose. Open a command line window to execute or test the features directly.

Step 1.Open an Explorer window where the cmd file is located, the default is:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Lightware\Lightware Device Updater V2\LightwareDeviceUpdaterV2_CLI.cmd.

Step 2.Click on the address line (highlighted in blue in the picture), type cmd.exe and press enter. The command interpreter window of Windows is opened at the path of the LDU2 install folder.

Step 3.Now you can use the LightwareDeviceUpdaterV2_CLI.cmd file with the commands and options, which are described in the coming sections:

Running under Linux

The Command Line Interface under Linux Operating Systems can be run by the following:

LightwareDeviceUpdaterV2.sh.

Running an update:

bash LightwareDeviceUpdaterV2.sh update --ip 172.24.5.27 --package ~/Downloads/HDMI-TPX-TX100_v2.6.1b1.lfp2

The commands and options are the same under Windows® and Linux, too. The following sections contain examples with LightwareDeviceUpdaterV2_CLI.cmd.

8.5.2. How to Use

Command Structure

The commands can be run over CLI in the following way:

LightwareDeviceUpdaterV2_CLI.cmd [command] [options]

[Command]: a certain command described in the coming sections; only one command can be run at a time

[Options]: mandatory and/or optional parameters of the command, if any. Optional parameters have a default value, which can be found at each affected command. You only have to define the parameter if you want to apply a different value. The order of the options is arbitrary.

Important Notes

▪CLI is case-sensitive (including commands, options and other parameters).

▪There is no limit regarding the number of the devices to update. At most 20 devices are updated simoultaneously, when one of them is finished, the following (21st) will be started automatically.

▪If an update is failed, the IP address of the affected device(s) are listed at the end.

8.6. CLI Commands

INFO:The commands and options described in the following sections are the same under Windows® and Linux, too. The examples contain LightwareDeviceUpdaterV2_CLI.cmd.

0

Querying the Exit Code under Linux

echo $?

0

If this value is queried after the update and it is 0, the update performed successfully.

8.7. If the Update is not successful

▪Restart the process and try the update again.

▪If the backup cannot be created for some reason, you will get a message whether to continue the process without backup or stop the update. A root cause can be that the desired device is already in bootload (firmware update) mode, thus the normal operation mode is suspended and backup cannot be made.

If an update is not successful, the Export log button becomes red. If you press the button, you can download the log file as a ZIP package, which can be sent to Lightware Support if needed. The log files contain useful information about the circumstances to find the root cause.

9.2. How to Speed Up the Troubleshooting Process

Lightware’s technical support team is always working hard to provide the fastest support possible. Our team’s response time is one of the best in the industry, and in the toughest of cases we can directly consult with the hardware or software engineer who designed the product, to get the information from the most reliable source.

However, the troubleshooting process can be even faster… with your help.

There are certain pieces of information that push us in the right direction to finding the root cause of the problem. If we receive most of this information in the first e-mail, or it is gathered at the time when you call us, then there is a pretty high chance that we will be able to respond with the final solution right away.

This information is the following:

▪Schematic (a pdf version is preferred, but a hand drawing is sufficient).

▪Serial number(s) of the device(s) (it is either printed somewhere on the box or you can query it in the Device Controller software or on the built-in website).

▪Firmware versions of the devices (please note that there may be multiple CPUs or controllers in the device and we need to know all of their firmware versions, a screenshot is the best option).

▪Cable lengths and types.

▪Patch panels, gender changers or anything else in the signal path that can affect the transmission.

▪Signal type (resolution, refresh rate, color space, deep color).

▪Emulated EDID(s) (please save them as a file and send it to us).

▪Actions to take in order to re-create the problem (if we cannot reproduce the problem, it is hard for us to find the cause).

▪Photo or video about the problem (for example: "image noise" can mean many different things, it’s better if we see it too).

▪Error logs from the Device Controller software.

▪In the case of Event Manager issue, the event file and/or backup file from the Device Controller software.

The more of the above information you can give us, the better. Please send this information to the Lightware Support Team (support@lightware.com) to speed up the troubleshooting process.

10. Technologies

The following sections contain descriptions and useful technical information on how the devices work in the background. The content is based on experiences and cases we met in practice. These sections help to understand features and technical standards like the following:

10.1. EDID Management

10.1.1. Understanding the EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is the passport of display devices (monitors, TV sets, projectors). It contains information about the capabilities of the display, such as supported resolutions, refresh rates (these are called Detailed Timings), the type and manufacturer of the display device, etc.

After connecting a source to a display (DVI, HDMI, DP), the source reads out the EDID to determine the resolution and refresh rate of the image to be transmitted.

EDID Communication

Most DVI computer displays have a 128-byte long EDID structure. However, Digital Televisions and HDMI capable displays may have another 128 bytes, which is called E-EDID and defined is by CEA (Consumer Electronics Association). This extension contains information about additional Detailed Timings, audio capabilities, speaker allocation and HDMI capabilities. It is important to know that all HDMI capable devices must have CEA extension, but not all devices with CEA extension are HDMI capable.

Common Problems Related to EDID

Problem: “My system consists of the following: a computer, a Lightware device, a WUXGA (1920x1200) LCD monitor, and an SXGA (1280x1024) projector. I would like to see the same image on the monitor and the projector. What EDID should I choose on the Lightware device?”

Solution: If you want to see the image on both displays, you need to select the resolution of the smaller display (in this case SXGA), otherwise the smaller display may not show the higher resolution image.

Problem: “I have changed to a different EDID on an input port of the Lightware device to have a different resolution, but nothing happens.”

Solution: Some graphics cards and video sources read out the EDID only after power-up and later they do not sense that the EDID has been changed. You need to restart your source to make it read out the EDID again.

10.1.2. Advanced EDID Management

Each DVI sink (e.g. monitors, projectors, plasma displays, etc...) must support the EDID data structure. Source BIOS and operating systems are likely to query the sink using DDC2B protocol to determine what pixel formats and interface are supported. The DVI standard uses EDID data structure to identify the monitor type and capabilities. Most DVI sources (VGA cards, set top boxes, etc.) will output DVI signal after accepting the connected sink’s EDID information. In the case of EDID readout failure or missing EDID, the source will not output DVI video signal.

Lightware devices provide the Advanced EDID Management function that helps system integration. The built-in EDID Router can store and emulate factory pre-programmed- and User programmable EDIDs. The EDID of the attached monitors or projectors for each output is stored in a non-volatile memory. This way the EDID of a monitor is available when the monitor is unplugged or switched off.

Any EDID can be emulated on any input. An emulated EDID can be copied from the EDID router’s memory (static EDID emulation), or from the last attached monitor’s memory (dynamic EDID emulation). For example, the Lightware device can be set up to emulate a sink device that is connected to one of the outputs. In this case, the EDID automatically changes if the monitor is replaced with another display device (as long as it has a valid EDID).

EDID is independently programmable for all inputs without affecting each other. All inputs have their own EDID circuit.

INFO:The user is not required to disconnect the video cable to change an EDID as opposed to other manufacturer’s products. The EDID can be changed even if a source is connected to the input and powered ON.

INFO:When the EDID has been changed, the router toggles the HOTPLUG signal for 2 seconds. Some sources do not sense this signal. In such cases, the source device must be restarted or powered OFF and ON again.

10.2. AV Over IP

Basics

Beside the traditional AV matrix switchers and extenders, the video over IP or networked AV system is the biggest leading technology in the AV industry. The spreading of the technology speeds up the general increasing of the use of the IT-related devices and equipment all around the world - from the offices to the homes.

The main difference compared to the traditional AV technologies is the method of the signal transmission: the networked AV transmitter/encoder devices convert the video signal to TCP/IP packets and transfer them to the receivers/decoders. The interface of the transmission can be CATx or fiber optical cable, depending on the signal bandwidth and the distance between the source and sink devices.

What is TCP/IP?

DEFINITION:TCP/IP, or the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the Internet or in a private network.

TCP/IP specifies how data is exchanged over the network by providing end-to-end communications that identify how it should be broken into packets, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. TCP/IP requires little central management, and it is designed to make networks reliable, with the ability to recover automatically from the failure of any device on the network.

The two main protocols in the Internet protocol suite serve specific functions. TCP defines how applications can create channels of communication across a network. It also manages how a message is assembled into smaller packets before they are then transmitted over the Internet and reassembled in the right order at the destination address.

IP defines how to address and route each packet to make sure it reaches the right destination. Each gateway computer on the network checks this IP address to determine where to forward the message.

10.3. HDCP Management

Lightware Visual Engineering is a legal HDCP adopter. Several functions have been developed, which helps to solve HDCP related problems. Complex AV systems often have both HDCP and non-HDCP components. The matrix allows transmitting HDCP encrypted and unencrypted signals. The devices will be still HDCP compliant, as they will never output an encrypted signal to a non-HDCP compliant display device. If an encrypted signal is switched to a non-compliant output, a red screen alert or muted screen will appear.

10.3.1. Protected and Unprotected Content

Many video sources send HDCP protected signal if they detect that the sink is HDCP capable – even if the content is not copyrighted. This can cause trouble if an HDCP capable device is connected between the source and the display. In this case, the content cannot be viewed on non-HDCP capable displays and interfaces like event controllers. Rental and staging technicians often complain about certain laptops, which are always sending HDCP encrypted signals if the receiver device (display, matrix router, etc.) reports HDCP compliancy. Even though HDCP encryption is not required all the time (e.g. computer desktop image), certain laptops still do that.

To avoid unnecessary HDCP encryption, Lightware introduced the HDCP enabling/disabling function: the HDCP capability can be disabled in the Lightware device. If HDCP is disabled, the connected source will detect that the sink is not HDCP capable, and turn off authentication.

10.3.2. Disable Unnecessary Encryption

HDCP Compliant Sink

All the devices are HDCP-compliant, no manual setting is required, both protected and unprotected contents are transmitted and displayed on the sink.

Not HDCP-compliant Sink 1.

Not-HDCP compliant sink is connected to the matrix. Some sources (e.g. computers) always send HDCP encrypted signals if the receiver device reports HDCP compliancy, however, HDCP encryption is not required all the time (e.g. computer desktop image). If HDCP is enabled in the matrix, the image will not be displayed on the sink.

Setting the HDCP parameter to Auto on the output port and disable HDCP on the input port, the transmitted signal will not be encrypted if the content is not protected. Thus, non-HDCP compliant sinks will display non-encrypted signal.

Not HDCP-compliant Sink 2.

The layout is the same as in the previous case: non-HDCP compliant display device is connected to the matrix but the source would send protected content with encryption. If HDCP is enabled on the input port of the matrix, the source will send encrypted signal.

The sink is not HDCP compliant, thus it will not display the video signal, but no picture on video output. If HDCP is disabled on the input port of the matrix, the source will not send the signal. The solution is to replace the display device with an HDCP-capable one.

10.3.3. HDCP 2.3

HDCP 2.3 is the latest evolution of copy protection. It is designed to create a secure connection between a source and a display. The 2.x version of HDCP is not a continuation of HDCPv1, and is rather a completely different link protection. One of the main differences is the number of the allowed devices within a closed AV system: HDCP 2.3 allows 32 devices (HDCP 1.4 allows 128 devices). A further limit is that up to four level is allowed, which means the protected signal can be transmitted over at most four repeater/matrix/switcher devices. HDCP content protection is activated only if an active video stream is transmitted from the source to the display. The encryption is not activated without a video signal.

HDCP 2.3 standard allows the application of a previous version of HDCP (e.g. HDCP 1.4) between the source and the display if the source device allows it. According to the standard, if the image content is protected with HDCP, the highest supported content protection level has to be applied. However, if the highest level of protection is not justified by the source content, the level may be decreased to avoid compatibility problems; this case is determined by the source.

HDCP 2.3 Source and HDCP 1.4 Sink

In this case the signal of an HDCP 2.3 compliant source is switched to an HDCP 1.4 compliant sink device. The signal is encrypted with HDCP 2.3 on the input and encrypted with HDCP 1.4 on the output of the Lightware device. A lower level of encryption may be applied only if the source device/content allows it - according to the HDCP standard. In this case, the HDCP setting on the input port has to be set to HDCP 1.4 and Depends on input on the output port.

HDCP 1.4 Source and HDCP 2.3 Sink

The example below is the reversal of the previous case. An HDCP 1.4 compliant source sends a signal with HDCP 1.4 encryption. The signal is switched to an HDCP v2.2 compliant sink device. In this case, the outgoing signal has to be encrypted with the highest supported encryption level towards the sink, as the Lightware device and the sink are both HDCP 2.3 compliant. The HDCP 2.3 standard does not allow keeping the original HDCP 1.4 encryption level on the output.

What Kind of Signal Will be on the Output of the Lightware Device?

See the table below that summarizes the possible cases:

Incoming Signal	HDCP 1.4 Compatible Sink on the Output	HDCP 2.3. Compatible Sink on the Output
HDCP 1.4	HDCP 1.4	HDCP 2.3
HDCP 2.3 (convertable)*	HDCP 1.4	HDCP 2.3
HDCP 2.3 (not convertable)**	Red screen	HDCP 2.3

* Stream type 0: the video stream allows the conversion of the signal to apply a lower level of encryption.

** Stream type 1: the video stream does not allow the conversion of the signal.

10.4. Pixel Accurate Reclocking

Signal reclocking is an essential procedure in digital signal transmission. After passing the reclocking circuit, the signal becomes stable, jitter-free, and can be transmitted over more equipment like processors or event controllers. Without reclocking, sparkles, noise, and jaggies appear on the image.

Lightware’s sophisticated Pixel Accurate Reclocking technology fixes more problems than general TMDS reclocking. It removes not only intra-pair skew, but inter-pair skew as well. The Pixel Accurate Reclocking circuit eliminates the following errors:

Intra-pair skew

Skew between the + and - wires within a differential wire pair (e.g. Data2- and Data2+). It’s caused by different wire lengths or slightly different wire construction (impedance mismatch) in the DVI cable. It results in jitter.

Inter-pair skew

Skew between two differential wire pairs in a cable. It is caused by different wire pair lengths or different number of twists in the DVI cable. Too much inter-pair skew results in color shift in the picture or sync loss.

Jitter

Signal instability in the time domain. The time difference between two signal transitions should be a fixed value, but noise and other effects cause variations.

Noise

Electromagnetic interference between other electronic devices such as mobile phones, motors, etc. and the DVI cable are coupled onto the signal. Too much noise results in increased jitter.

11.4. Maximum Cable Extension

11.4.1. CATx Cable Extension for TPX Endpoints

Lightware highly recommends using CAT6a AWG24 or higher category 10G Ethernet cables for the TPX (SDVoE) connection between the transmitter/receiver and the network switch. Usage of e.g. AWG28 Ethernet cables may reduce the extension distance significantly.

Resolution	CATx
	CAT6a AWG24
All resolutions	100 m

Learn more information about the CATx cable types and lengths for TPX extenders in the CATx Cable Diagnostics for TPX Extenders chapter.

11.5.2. Audio Ports

Inputs and outputs of audio devices are symmetric or asymmetric. The main advantage of the symmetric lines is the better protection against the noise, therefore they are widely used in the professional audio industry. Symmetric audio is most often referred to as balanced audio, as opposed to asymmetric, which is referred to as unbalanced audio. Ligthware products are usually built with 5-pole Phoenix connectors, so we would like to help users assembling their own audio cables. See the most common cases below.

ATTENTION!Symmetric and asymmetric lines can be linked with passive accessories (e.g. special cables), but in this case half of the line level is lost.

ATTENTION!There are numerous types of regularly used connector and cable types to connect audio devices. Please always make sure that a connector or cable fits your system before use.

ATTENTION!Never join the phase-inverted (negative, cold or -) poles (either right and left) to the ground or to each other on the output side, as this can damage the unit.

INFO:Use a galvanic isolation in case of a ground loop.
