TPS Link Modes
The
MX-TPS
and
MX-TPS2
boards have adjustable TPS link mode options for every port separately. The modes
can be the following:
▪
Auto:
The TPS mode is determined automatically.
▪
HDBaseT:
Ideal for high resolution signals of up to 4K for reduced distances.
▪
Long Reach:
Ideal for big distances, up to 1080p@60Hz.
▪
RS232:
Only RS-232 communication is transmitted (at 9600 baud).
▪
RS232+Eth:
Only RS-232 (at 9600 baud) and Ethernet communication is transmitted.
WARNING!
Use only the Auto TPS link mode with third-party devices.
The negotiated TPS working mode is determined by the setting of each party:

* If there is a valid HDMI/DVI signal on the TX side, the TPS mode will be HDBaseT on both sides. If the
transmitter does not transmit HDMI/DVI signal, the TPS mode will automatically be changed to RS232 only
or RS232 + ETH mode. Long reach mode is not available when both sides are set to Auto mode.

When one of the devices is configured to manual operation mode selection, the other device may be placed
in automatic mode. In this case, the mode transition negotiation is initiated by the host-managed device and
the auto-mode device follows through.
