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:
