MX-TPS2-IB-SP is an eight channel twisted pair input board providing HDMI 1.4, audio, Ethernet and RS-232 extension on a single CAT5/6/7 cable up to 120m in HDBaseTTM and 170m distance in Long reach mode (maximal resolution is Full HD 1080p in Long reach mode). Resolutions up to 4K, UHD (30Hz RGB 4:4:4, 60Hz YCbCr 4:2:0) 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 extenders with the PoE add-on. The built-in PoE injector function requires the supplied PSU-48vp external power source to be connected directly to the board. Digital S/PDIF or analog stereo connectors are available for advanced audio functions (HDMI embedded audio signals are managed by the board).

The MX-TPS2-IB-SP 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 integrated. The board is compatible with deep colour, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio.
