Lightware MX-TPS2-IB TPS Input Board with Analog Audio and PoE Option

The Lightware MX-TPS2-IB Series is a professional dual twisted pair input board designed for MX modular matrix frames, enabling reliable extension of HDMI 1.4, audio, Ethernet, and control signals over long distances via a single CAT cable. With support for 4K UHD at 30Hz, advanced HDCP/EDID management, and a built-in test pattern generator, it ensures uncompromised signal integrity and seamless integration into corporate, education, and control environments. Available in two models, MX-TPS2-IB-P and MX-TPS2-IB-AP, this series delivers powerful connectivity and flexible AV system design.

Available in two variants:

  • MX-TPS2-IB-P: Base model, with standard HDMI + control extension
  • MX-TPS2-IB-AP: Same as base model with analog audio.

Key Features

  • 4K UHD Video Transmission: Supports up to 3840×2160@30Hz over a single CAT cable.
  • HDCP & EDID Management: HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 compliance with advanced EDID handling.
  • Multi-Signal Extension: Transmits HDMI, audio, Ethernet, RS-232, IR, and GPIO.
  • Long-Distance Operation: Up to 170m (1080p) and 100m (4K UHD).
  • Cross-Compatibility: Works with all Lightware TPS transmitter devices.
  • Remote Powering: PoE compatible with 48V remote powering and on/off switching.
  • Built-in Test Pattern Generator: Solid Red, Green, Blue, Black, White, Ramp, Chessboard, Colour Bars.

Application Examples

Live Events / Rental Corporate / Enterprise
  • Stage input expansion: Feed HDMI or DP sources (laptops, cameras, media servers) into MX matrix frames via a single CAT cable, simplifying front-of-house cabling.
  • Signal integrity: Built-in test pattern generator helps technicians verify inputs quickly during show setup and rehearsals.
  • Audio workflow (AP model): De-embed audio from HDMI sources and hand off analog feeds to FOH mixers, intercom, or recording devices.
  • Touring reliability: Long-distance extension (up to 170 m at 1080p) ensures flexibility for temporary stage layouts without signal dropouts.
  • Meeting room inputs: Extend BYOD laptops, VC codecs, or set-top boxes into the central matrix with HDMI + Ethernet + control over a single cable.
  • Training & classrooms: Provide a clean input point for lecturers to connect laptops, while transmitting audio/video/control to the AV rack seamlessly.
  • Enterprise AV integration (AP model): Embed or de-embed analog stereo audio for DSP, assistive listening, or language interpretation systems.
  • Control environments: Use RS-232, IR, and GPIO passthrough to integrate operator consoles or automation inputs into larger AV/control systems.


Scenario Recommended Model Why
Basic HDMI + control extension MX-TPS2-IB-P Simple, cost-effective way to bring HDMI, Ethernet, RS-232, IR, and GPIO into MX frames without additional audio features.
Live event needing analog audio feeds MX-TPS2-IB-AP De-embed HDMI audio and output as analog for FOH, PA, or recording, while still routing video into the matrix.
Corporate meeting rooms with DSP MX-TPS2-IB-AP Embed or de-embed audio for DSP integration, assistive listening, or microphone/audio playback management.
Education / training spaces MX-TPS2-IB-P Reliable HDMI input extension with long cable runs (100 m 4K / 170 m 1080p) and built-in test generator for easy setup.
Control & automation environments MX-TPS2-IB-P Extend video plus RS-232, IR, and GPIO into the central AV matrix for integration with automation and control systems.
