The extender was designed to handle digital and analog video and audio signals e.g. VGA, YPrPb and HDMI1.4 with analog stereo audio from local inputs or embedded 7.1 HBR audio. Analog signals (both audio and video) are converted to digital formats. The audio and the video signal can be transmitted separately from each other. The unit offers bi-directional and transparent RS232 and Ethernet transmission and unidirectional and transparent IR transmission. Furthermore the RS232 connection supports command injection. Remote powering is available through the single CAT 5e ... CAT 7 cable, but local power supply can also be used. Due to the Lightware attentive design the WP-UMX-TPS-TX120-US is compatible with both the HDBaseT extenders and matrix switchers.
