Lightware MX-TPS2-IB-SP – TPS Input Board with Digital Audio and PoE
TPS Input Board with Digital Audio and PoE
MX‑TPS2‑IB is an eight channel HDMI and single CAT HDBaseTTM Input Board providing HDMI 1.4, audio, Ethernet and RS‑232 extension on a single CAT5/6/7 cable up to a 100m in HDBaseTTM and a 170m distance in Long Reach Mode.
Description
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.
