Electrical Connections
3.3.1.
HDMI Input and Output Ports
The matrix switchers are assembled with standard
19-pole HDMI connectors for inputs and outputs.
3.3.2.
Analog Audio Inputs and Outputs
5-pole Phoenix connector is used for balanced analog
audio (line in/out). Some I/O boards use this connector
as a configurable input or output. Unbalanced audio
signals can be connected as well. For asymmetrical
output, connect only + and ground. For asymmetrical
input c and ground to the source and connect
– to the ground.

Wiring of TPS and LAN Cables
Lightware recommends the termination of LAN cables on the basis of
TIA/EIA T 568 A or TIA/EIA T 568 B standards.
When a standard Ethernet device is connected to the TPS connector
for some reason, the port is switched to Ethernet fallback mode
automatically.

LAN and TPS Ethernet Port
The matrix contains two RJ-45 connectors for Ethernet/LAN
connection: one for local control functions and one for the TPS lines.
The two interfaces are connected (default) but can be separated. The
connector with
LAN
display is for local controlling functions – the
matrix can be configured and controlled via local Ethernet via this
port. The connector with
TPS Ethernet
display is to supply the Ethernet
to the TPS ports.
The Ethernet ports can be connected to a LAN hub, switch or router
by a CATx cable. However both cable types (straight or cross) are
supported and handled by the device, below pin assignment is
recommended.
