Power Supply Options
The transmitter can be powered:
Locally with the supplied 12V DC adaptor or Lightware’s rack mountable PSU, or
Remotely by a PoE-compatible power injector, like Lightware’s TPS-PI-1P1.
Powering by a matrix board over the TPS (CATx) cable. Output board needs to be
powered by an external PSU.
SW4-TPS-TX240 transmitter is PoE-compatible and can receive power over the TPS line.
The TPS-TX/RX95 extenders are not PoE-compatible thus not able to send/receive power to/
from the SW4-TPS-TW240 transmitter.
