Resolutions up to 4K and 48-bit colour depth are handled with all standard audio formats as well as 120Hz 3D signals. The board offers bi-directional RS-232 and Ethernet transmission (each board has a 10/100 uplink connector for the Ethernet network connection) and remote powering option for the TPS 95 series extenders. The built-in PoE injector function requires the supplied PSU-12vp external power source to be connected directly to the board. 

The input board is available with audio option connectors: digital S/PDIF or analog stereo connectors are available for advanced audio functions (HDMI embedded audio signals are managed by the board). The MX-TPS-IB without the digital or analog audio option also handles HDMI embedded audio. 

Advanced professional functions such as HDCP enable/disable mode, Pixel Accurate Reclocking, Advanced EDID Management and Frame Detector are also. The board is compatible with deep colour, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio and features PCM audio sample rate conversion.
