1.6.2. Standalone Application
Typical Application Description
The two Ethernet connectors on each extender make possible to daisy
chain the devices and build a local network where all the transmitters
(1..3) and receivers (1..3) are available via LAN.
They can be controlled by Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software
from the laptop. Optical ber cable transmits the HDMI, embedded
audio, Ethernet, and RS-232 signal to the receivers, so in this case,
the sinks can be controlled by Ethernet commands from the control
device (laptop).
In this example, all the sources send HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 A/V
signal to the transmitters which extend the stream to the receivers via
multimode ber cable.
Receiver 1..3 represent three applications of the output modes:
▪RX1 is in transparent mode (no conversion mode), the sinks are
stacked projectors. The video signal is HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz
4:4:4 on the Output 1A and the Output 2 ports.
▪RX2 is in downsample convert mode (convert to YCbCr 4:2:0). The
LED screen 2 is 4K compatible and connected to the Output 2
port. LED screen 1 is not HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 compliant, so
the video processor in the receiver converts the HDMI signal from
4:4:4 to 4:2:0, and this way the sink will be able to accept the signal
on the Output 1B.
▪RX3 is in split mode. The receiver supports vertical splitting of
the HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 input signal to left and right halves
allowing for the transmission of a 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 signal over
two HDMI1.4 compliant links. The sink is a projector which is
able to recombine two half signals. Video signal is transmitted
to the Output 2 without any changing.

3.6. Video and Audio Interface
The HDMI20-OPTC series transmitter can receive signal from two types of sources:
▪ DVI-D
▪HDMI (with embedded audio)
The HDMI20-OPTC series receiver can output HDMI video signal (with embedded audio).
Port Diagram of Video and Audio Interface
Transmitter Side
The video signal is received at the Input 1 or the Input 2. The HDMI splitter duplicates the signal and sends
the same HDMI stream to the local HDMI output and the ber output.
Receiver Side
The video and the embedded audio signal arrives via optical cable into the HDMI splitter. It duplicates HDMI
stream and transmits the signal without modifying it to the HDMI Out 2 port. The HDMI splitter transmits the
same signal into the video converter where three output conversion modes can be set.
3.6.1. Output Conversion Modes
Conversion modes refer to the receiver side and this property can be set in the front panel menu of the
transmitter (see Conversion Submenu), available in the Lightware Device Controller Sofware (see HDMI
Output Port - Receiver) and also in the LW3 tree, both the transmitter and the receiver.
In Transparent mode (no conversion mode), the video signal is transmitted to the HDMI Output 1A and the
HDMI Output 1B without any changing.
INFO: Maximal data transmission capacity of Output 1B is 9 Gbps, if the video signal is above this
bandwidth, there will be no picture on the display.
Split mode means splitting of the original video signal into left and right halves and sending the split signal to
the HDMI Output 1A and the HDMI Output 1B.
In Downsample convert mode (convert to YCbCr 4:2:0) the video converter subsamples the 4:4:4 signal to 4:2:0
on the 1A and 1B Output port.
INFO: Split and downsample convert modes are available at maximum 8-bit color depth.

3.6.2. Autoselect Feature
Besides manual crosspoint selection you can
choose the Autoselect option on the video
ports. There are three types of Autoselect as
follows:
▪ First detect mode: selected input port is
kept connected to the output while it
has an active signal
▪ Priority detect mode: always the highest
priority active input is selected to
transmit.
▪ Last detect mode: always the last attached
input is selected to transmit.
Video Interface - Example
The Concept
The HDMI signal with embedded audio comes from the Event master to Input 1. The other source is a PC,
which sends DVI-D signal to Input 2. Both of them are connected to the transmitter, where the autoselect
mode is enabled with priority 0 on the Input 1, so the Input 1 is selected.
INFO: Only one input can be selected at the same time.

The EDID memory consists of four parts:
▪ Factory EDID list (F1-F146) the pre-programmed EDIDs, see the Factory EDID List in the Appendix section.
▪ Dynamic EDID list (D1-D2): the EDID of the last attached display device. The extender stores the last
EDID from the previously connected sink on each output port. Thus, an EDID can be shown even if
there is no device is connected to the output port at that moment.
▪ User memory locations (U1 – U14): they can be used to save custom EDIDs. Any EDID from the User/
Factory/Dynamic EDID lists can be copied to the user memory.
▪ Emulated EDID list (E1-E2): the currently emulated EDID for the input. The source column displays
the memory location that the current EDID was routed from. The source reads the EDID from the
Emulated EDID memory on the input port.
There are two types of emulation: and .static dynamic
▪ Static EDID emulation: an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list is selected. Thus, the Emulated EDID
remains the same until the user emulates another EDID.
▪ Dynamic EDID emulation: it can be enabled by selecting D1-D2 EDID memory. The attached monitor’s
EDID is copied to the input; if a new monitor is attached to the output, the emulated EDID is changed
automatically.
INFO: The default emulated EDID is D1 both the transmitter and the receiver. The EDID, which is from the
attached monitor of HDMIOUT1A (O1) port of the receiver, is copied to all the input ports.

5.7. Event Manager
The feature means that the device can sense changes on its ports and able to
react according to the pre-dened settings. The development idea of the Event
manager is based on users’ feedbacks. In many cases internal events (such as
signal present) are necessary to display but it is not easy when the device is hard to
access (e.g. built under the desk).
INFO: For tips and tricks and detailed description about the application of Event Manager, please download
the Event Manager User's Guide from the Download section on the www.lightware.com.
The Event manager can be congured to perform an action if a condition has been detected. E.g. the desired
setup is that after a certain type of signal has been detected on I1 port, the port has to be switched to O1.
The settings can be done via the LDC in the Control/Events tab, or by LW3 protocol commands. Congurable
events number depends on the device what you are using actually.
Numerous new ideas and requests have been received in connection with the features and settings of the
Event manager since the rst release. Therefore, the user interface has been re-designed and many new
functions implemented. The Event editor can be opened by pressing the Edit button at each Event.
There is a on the left of the Event panel in each line. If a condition and an action are set and the Event gray bar
is enabled, the bar is displayed .in green
Control menu, Event Manager tab
5.6.2. Ethernet Tab
Four ports are displayed in the Ethernet tab: Ethernet (P1, P2), OPT1, and CPU. The Ethernet ports (P1 and
P2) display the status of the Ethernet, speed, and the duplexity of the connection. The following settings are
also available:
▪Enable / disable the port (for loop protection);
▪Reloading factory defaults (see factory default
settings in the Factory Default Settings section).
ATTENTION! If the Ethernet port is set to disabled, this
may break the connection with the device.
INFO: OPT1 and CPU Ethernet port can not be disabled.

Advanced Mode
The goal of this mode is the same as of the wizard: set the properties and methods for conditions and
actions. The difference is the number of the available and usable properties and methods of the LW3
protocol. Advanced mode allows almost all of it.
Step 1. EditClick on the button of the desired Event; the
Event editor is displayed.
Step 2. The wizard mode is the default, press the
Advanced button. The LW3 protocol tree is
displayed showing the list of the properties in the

clicking the button. The following characters are allowed Set name
when naming:
Letters (A-Z) and (a-z), numbers (0-9), special characters: hyphen ( - ),
underscore ( _ ), and space ( ).
Enable or Disable an Event
The set Event can be enabled or disabled in the Event list, or directly
in the Event editor window by setting the beside the name.tick mark
Testing the Condition
When the desired Condition is arranged, the setting can be tested. The
Event list and the Event editor contains a small panel that shows if
the set condition is detected and how many times. The can be Counter
reset by the button in Event editor. If the Condition is true, the detected
mark turns green for two seconds and the is increased.Counter
Testing the Action
The method is the same as testing the Condition, but in this case, the
Action can be triggered manually by pressing the Test button.
TIPS AND TRICKS: The Test button is also placed on the Action
panel in the Event list. Thus, you can check the Actions without
opening the Event editor.
Delay the Action
In most cases the Action is performed immediately after the Condition
is detected. But sometimes a delay is necessary between the Condition
and the Action. Therefore, the new Event manager contains the Delay
panel which allows that feature with below settings:
▪No delay: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched.
▪Simple delay: when the Condition is detected, the Action is
launched after the set time interval.
▪Still exists: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched
after the set time interval only if the Condition still exists.
▪Continuously exists: when the Condition is detected, the Action
is launched after the set time interval only if the Condition has
been existing continuously.

5.8.4. Backup Tab (Conguration Cloning)
Backup tab
The conguration cloning of Lightware LW3 devices is a simple method that eliminates the need to repeatedly
congure certain devices to have identical (non-factory) settings. If the devices are installed in the same type
of system multiple times then it is enough to set up only one device to t the user’s needs and then copy those
settings to the others, thus saving time and resources.
Cloning Steps in a Nutshell
Installing multiple devices with the same customized conguration settings can be done in a few easy steps:
Step 1. Congure one device with all your desired settings with the LDC software.
Step 2. Backup the full conguration le to your computer.
Step 3. If needed, make some modications to the conguration le using a text editor (e.g. Notepad). E.g.
modifying the static IP address is needed when DHCP is not used.
Step 4. Connect to the other device which has to be congured and upload (restore) your conguration le.
Step 5. Done! You can have as many totally identical, customized devices as you like.
Save the Settings of the Device (Backup)
Step 1. Apply the desired settings in the extender (port parameters, crosspoint, etc.)
Step 2. Settings BackupSelect the / tab from the menu.
Step 3. descriptionWrite a short in the text box on the left (optional).
Step 4. Press the Create a full backup button. You will be prompted to save the le to the computer. The default
le name is the following:
BACKUP_<DEVICE TYPE>_SN<SERIAL NUMBER>.LW3
Step 5. saveSet the desired , select the folder and le name the le.
TIPS AND TRICKS: Using the exact product type in the lename is recommended since it makes the le
usage more comfortable.
About the Backup File
The backup le is a simple text le which contains LW3 protocol commands. The rst line is the description,
and the further lines are the commands which will be executed during the restore process. The le can be
viewed (and/or edited) by a simple text editor, e.g. Notepad.
ATTENTION! Editing the command lines is only recommended for expert users.
Upload the Settings to a Device (Restore)
WARNING! Please note that the settings will be permanently overwritten with the restored parameters
in the device. Withdrawal is not possible.
ATTENTION! The cloning is successful when the backup le is downloaded from the same type of source
device as the destination device.
The Restoring Process
Step 1. Settings BackupSelect the / tab from the menu.
Step 2. browseClick on the button on the right panel and Choose le the desired le.
Step 3. The le is checked and the result will be displayed in the textbox below. If the le is correct, the
settings can be restored.
Step 4. Choose IP settings what you want to use after backup. You can apply settings from the backup le,
keep actual settings, set it manually in a dialog box or apply DHCP.
Step 5. Start restore processPress the button and click on the Yes button when asked.

6.1. Overview
different products with a different feature list.
All commands are terminated with a carriage return (Cr, ‘\r’) and line feed (Lf, ‘\n’) pair. In order to implement
scalability and sustainability, we decided to organize all settings, parameters and properties of the device to
a tree structure with and .nodes, properties, methods
6.1.1. Elements of the Tree Structure
ATTENTION! All names and values are case-sensitive. The space character is replaced by the ‘ ’ character ●
in the elements and commands descriptions.
6.1.1.1. Node
▪ The basic building block of the tree structure is the ‘node’.
▪ The node can have multiple child nodes, but only one parent.
▪ The tree has only one root the ‘root node’.
▪ The leaves of the tree are also nodes, which do not have child nodes.
▪
▪ All the slashes are ‘right slashes’, no backslash is used.
▪
▪ The node name can contain the elements of the English alphabet and numbers.
▪ Recommended convention for case sensitivity:
– Fix nodes (that cannot be altered) are capitalized.
– User created nodes can contain both lowercase and capital letters, no restrictions.
▪ The path of a node has to contain all parent nodes from the root node.
●
●
Legend:
n: node
‘-’: default for a node.
‘m’: this is a manual for the node.
‘E’: this is an error message for the node.
's': this is a symlink node.
'v': this node has virtual children.
'r': this is a remote node.
INFO: All parent nodes must be listed in the path of a node.

Tree structure of the nodes
6.1.1.2. Property
The ‘property’ in the LW3 protocol is basically a leaf, which has a well-dened value.
▪ A property has a value.
▪ A property cannot have child nodes or child properties. It is always a leaf.
▪ A node can have any number of properties (may not have any).
▪ A property is referenced with a dot (‘.’) after the node name.
▪ The properties’ name can contain the elements of the English alphabet, numbers and underscore (‘_’)
character.
▪ By convention, properties are beginning with a capital letter, all other characters are lowercase ones.
In the case of compound words, all words are beginning with a capital letter (CamelCase).
▪ The value of the property can contain any readable ASCII character.
▪ A property can be read-only or read/write.
Format: pX /[nodeName].[propertyName]=[propertyValue]●
Legend:
p: property
‘X’ can be:
‘r’: if the property is read-only.
‘w’: if the property is readable, writable.
‘m’: the manual of the property.
‘E’: error message for the property.
'v': virtual node property: contains a node path to a node which will
be linked to the property's parent node.

n- /node1/node12
n- /node2
n- /node2/node21
n- /node2/node21/node211
n- /node3
Example:
The following two ones are read-only properties:
pr●/node1/node12.ReadOnlyProperty=value1
pr●/.ProductName=HDMI20-OPTC-TX22
The following two ones are read-write properties:
pw●/node1/node12.ReadWriteProperty=value2
pw●/.DeviceNickName=John
6.1.1.3. Method
The ‘method’ in the LW3 protocol is also a leaf. It cannot have a value, such as the properties, but it can be
invoked with a parameter with the help of a special ‘CALL’ command.
▪ A method cannot have child nodes or child methods. It is always a leaf.
▪ A node can have any number of methods (may not have any).
▪ A method is referenced with a colon (‘:’) after the node.
▪ The methods’ name can contain the elements of the English alphabet, numbers and underscore (‘_’)
character.
▪ By convention, methods are beginning with a lowercase letter. In the case of compound words, the
very rst letter is lowercase, and the rst letter of each other words are capitalized (lowerCamelCase).
▪ The parameter of the method can contain any readable ASCII character.
▪ The method always has a return ‘state’ if the method could be executed. The state could be either ‘OK’
or ‘FAILED’.
▪ The method does not necessarily have a return ‘value’. If it does, it can contain additional information,
which is always specic to the current case (the return value can specify why the execution failed).
▪ When the method cannot be executed (e.g. the parameter list is illegal), there is an error message.
Format: mX /[nodeName]:[methodName]=[returnValue]●
Legend:
m: method
‘X’ can be:
‘O’: when the execution of the method was successful (OK).
‘F’: when the execution of the method failed.
‘m’: the manual of the method.
‘E’: error message for the method.
Example:
mO●/node1/node12:method1
mO●/MEDIA/XP/VIDEO:switch
mE %E001:Syntax error●
mm●/MEDIA/XP/VIDEO:lockSource:Lock one or more source ports
6. LW3 Programmers’ Reference HDMI20-OPTC series – User's Manual 40
6.1.2. Escaping
Property values and method parameters can contain characters that are used as control characters in the
protocol. They must be escaped. The escape character is the backslash (‘\’) and escaping means injecting
a backslash before the character that should be escaped (like in C language).
Control characters are the followings: \ { } # % ( ) \r \n \t
Example:
The original text: John (Doe). node1\node11● ● ● ●#3: 5%2=1
The escaped text: John \(Doe\). node1\\node11● ● ● ●\#3: 5\%2=1
6.1.3. Error Messages
There are several error messages dened in the LW3 protocol, all of them have a unique error number.
Format: XE● ● ●[primitive] %EYYY: [Error message]
Legend:
‘X’ can be:
‘-’: syntax error. Cannot parse the command at all.
‘n’: node error.
‘p’: property error.
‘m’: method error.
YYY: error code, which can be one of the followings:
Error code Name Default text
000 Lw3ErrorCodes_None
001 Lw3ErrorCodes_Syntax Syntax error
002 Lw3ErrorCodes_NotFound Not found
003 Lw3ErrorCodes_AlreadyExists Already exists
004 Lw3ErrorCodes_InvalidValue Invalid value

010 Lw3ErrorCodes_InternalError Internal error
011 Lw3ErrorCodes_NotImplemented Not implemented
012 Lw3ErrorCodes_Node_Disabled Node disabled or standby mode active
6.1.4. Prex Summary
The following prexes are dened in the LW3 protocol:
‘n-’: a node,
‘nE’: an error for a node,
‘nm’: a manual for a node,
‘pr’: a read-only property,
‘pw’: read-write property,
‘pE’: an error for the property,
‘pm’: a manual for the property,
‘m-’: a method,
‘mO’: a response to a success method execution,
‘mF’: a response to a failed method execution,
‘mE’: an error for a method,
‘mm’: a manual for a method.
6.2. The Tree Structure
The /MEDIA node is used by the LDC to connect input ports
to output ports on different layers. Each subnode of /MEDIA
is representing a layer, e.g. video (/MEDIA/ VIDEO), RS-232 (/
MEDIA/ UART) or Ethernet(/MEDIA/ ETHERNET). Each layer
has a crosspoint to dene connections between the ports
associated with the layer, all of them are represented by a
specic node. E.g. the video layer node is /MEDIA/VIDEO:
under the video layer node, the video crosspoint node (XP) and
the video ports (I1, O1, …) are located. The /SYS node is used
for system-related settings such as front panel settings and
health status parameters. The /MANAGEMENT node contains
network-related parameters, date-time settings, and version
numbers. The /EDID node contains all EDID-related settings
such as factory pre-programmed EDIDs and User EDIDs. All
input and output port settings, crosspoint state, etc... are under
the /MEDIA node.

6.3. LW3 Commands
6.3.1. Get Command
The ‘GET’ command can be used to get the child nodes, properties and methods of a specic node. It can
also be used to get the value of a property.
The response format
The rst two characters of a response unambiguously identify the type of the element that the response
line concerns. The rst character is the type of the element (node, property or method), the second is for
miscellaneous information (e.g. read/write rights).
The dened prexes are:
‘n-’: node
‘pr’: property - only readable
‘pw’: property - writable, readable
‘m-’: method executable
After the prex, the response contains the full path of the node, property or method after a space character.
Get all children of a node
Get all of the child nodes of a parent node, with one GET command.
Command format: GET [nodePath]●
Response format: n-●[nodePath]
Example:

6.3.2. Set Command
The setter command can be used to modify the value of a property.
Command format: SET●[nodePath].[propertyName]=[newPropertyValue]
Response format:
The response for setting a property to a new value is the same as the response for the ‘GET’ command. The
value in the response is the new value if the execution of the ‘SET’ command was successful, otherwise the
unmodied ‘old value’ with an error message.
pw●[nodePath].[propertyName]=[newPropertyValue]
Example:
˃SET /MANAGEMENT/NETWORK.DhcpEnabled=false
˂pw /MANAGEMENT/NETWORK.DhcpEnabled=false
˂CHG /MANAGEMENT/NETWORK.DhcpEnabled=false
Error Response format:
If there were errors during setting a property, an error message follows the unmodied property value.
pE● ●[nodePath].[propertyName]=[umodiedValue] %EXXX:Error message
Legend: XXX: error number.
Examples:
˃SET /MEDIA/UART/P1.CommandInjectionEnable=2

˃SET /MANAGEMENT/NETWORK.NetworkMask=255.255.255.5
˂pE /MANAGEMENT/NETWORK.NetworkMask %E007:Access denied
6.3.3. Invocation
A method can be invoked with the help of the ‘CALL’ command.
Command format: CALL [nodePath]:[methodName]([parameter])●
Response format:
The response for a method execution is a state and a value. The state is mandatory and always dened if
the method could be executed. It can be either a success or a failure. The value is optional and it can contain
additional information, such as the reason why the state is a failure or a specic value when the state is
a success that the client can process. It is also possible to get an error message when the method could
not be executed – e.g. the parameter was illegal - and hence not even the state of the execution could be
specied.
mX [nodePath]:[methodName]=Y●
Legend:
X can be:
‘O’: if the execution is successful.
‘F’: if the execution is failed, but the method could be executed.
‘E’: if the method could not be executed: e.g. illegal parameter count.
Y can be:
▪ The return value of the method if any.
▪ It is valid that a method does not have any return value. In this case, the equal sign
(‘=‘) can be omitted.
Example:
˃CALL /EDID:switch(D1:E1)
˂mO /EDID:switch
Error Response format:
If there were errors during the execution, an error message is received, which follows the method name.
mE [nodePath]:[methodName]● ●%EXXX:Error message
Example:
˃CALL /EDID:switch(D1:R1)
˂mE /EDID:switch %E004: Invalid value
6. LW3 Programmers’ Reference HDMI20-OPTC series – User's Manual 43
6.3.4. Manual
For every node, property and method in the tree there is a manual. The manual is a human-readable text that
describes the syntax and provides a hint for how to use the primitives.
Command format:
for nodes: MAN [nodePath]●
for property: MAN [nodePath].[propertyName]●
for method: MAN [nodePath]:[methodName]●
Response format:
The human readable manual is separated by a space (‘ ‘) character from the primitives.
for nodes: nm [nodePath] Human readable manual● ●
for property: pm [nodePath].[propertyName] Human readable manual● ●
for method: mm [nodePath]:[methodName] Human readable manual● ●
Example: (for a property)
˃MAN /MEDIA/UART/P1.Baudrate
˂pm /MEDIA/UART/P1.Baudrate [<id_of_baudrate>] Baud rate (0=4800; 1=7200; 2=9600;
3=14400; 4=19200; 5=38400; 6=57600; 7=115200)
Example: (for a method)
˃MAN /SYS:factoryDefaults
˂mm /SYS:factoryDefaults [] Restart the device and set all the settings to factory
default
6.3.5. Signature
For some command, the response can contain multiple lines. Each line is terminated with a carriage return
(Cr, ‘\r’) and line feed (Lf, ‘\n’) characters. In several cases the number of the lines in the response cannot
be determined in advance, e.g. the client is intended waiting for the whole response and also wants to be
sure, that the received lines belong together and to the same command. In these cases, a special feature the
‘signature’ can be used.
The signature is a four digit long hexadecimal value that can be optionally placed before every command.
In that case, the response to that particular command will also be preceded by the signature, and the
corresponding lines will be between brackets.
Command format: XXXX#[command]
Legend: xxxx: 4-digit long hexadecimal value.
Response format:
{XXXX
[command lines]
}
Example:
˃1103#GET /MEDIA/VIDEO.*
˂{1103
˂pr /MEDIA/VIDEO.PortCount=4
˂pr /MEDIA/VIDEO.PortUi=O1:02003;O2:03003;I1:01021;O3:04003
˂pr /MEDIA/VIDEO.O1=HDMIOUT1A
˂pr /MEDIA/VIDEO.O2=HDMIOUT1B
˂pr /MEDIA/VIDEO.I1=OPTIN
˂pr /MEDIA/VIDEO.O3=HDMIOUT2
˂}
INFO: The lines of the signature are also Cr and Lf terminated.
6.3.6. Subscription
The user can subscribe to any node. Subscribe to a node means that the user will get a notication if any of
the properties of the node is changed. These notications are asynchronous messages - such as the ones
described above - and hence, they are useful to keep the client application up-to-date, without receiving any
unwanted information. When the user does not want to be informed about the changes anymore, he can
simply unsubscribe from the node.
ATTENTION! The subscriptions are handled separately for connections. Hence, if the connection is
terminated all registered subscriptions are deleted. After closing a connection the subscribe command
has to be sent in order to get the notications of the changes on that connection.
Subscribe to a node
Command format: OPEN [nodePath]●
Response format: o-●[nodePath]
Example:
˃OPEN /MEDIA/VIDEO
˂o- /MEDIA/VIDEO
Subscribe to multiple nodes
In order to subscribe to multiple nodes, the asterisk wild card can be used.
Command format: OPEN●[nodePath]/*
Response format: o-●[nodePath]/*
Example:
˃OPEN /MEDIA/VIDEO/*
˂o- /MEDIA/VIDEO/*
6. LW3 Programmers’ Reference HDMI20-OPTC series – User's Manual 44
Get the active subscriptions for the current connection
Command format: OPEN
Response format: o- [nodePath]●
Example:
˃OPEN
˂o- /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP
˂os /MEDIA/VIDEO/I1
˂os /MEDIA/VIDEO/I2
˂o- /MEDIA/VIDEO
˂os /REMOTE/D1
˂o- /MANAGEMENT/UID
˂o- /
Unsubscribe from a node
Command format: CLOSE [nodePath]●
Response format: c- [nodePath]●
Example:
˃CLOSE /MEDIA/VIDEO
˂c- /MEDIA/VIDEO
Unsubscribe from multiple nodes
Command format: CLOSE●[nodePath]/*
Response format: c-●[nodePath]/*
Example:
˃CLOSE /MEDIA/VIDEO/*
˂c- /MEDIA/VIDEO/*
6.3.7. Notications about the Changes of the Properties
When the value of a property is changed and the user is subscribed to the node, which the property belongs
to, an asynchronous notication is generated. This is notication is called as the ‘change message’. The
format of such a message is very similar to the response for the ‘GET’ command.
Format: CHG●[nodePath].[propertyName]=[newPropertyValue]
Example:
˂CHG /MEDIA/VIDEO/O1.ForcedSignalType=HDMI
A short example of how to use the subscription
In the following, an example is presented, how the subscriptions are working and how to use them. In the
example, there are two independent users controlling the device through two independent connections
(‘Connection #1’ and ‘Connection #2’). The events in the rows occur after each other.
Conn. #1
˃OPEN /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP
˂o- /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP
˃GET /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList
˂pr /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList=I1;I1
Conn. #2
˃GET /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList
˂pr /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList=I1;I1
˃CALL /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:switch(I2:O1)
˂mO /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP:switch
Conn. #1 ˂CHG /MEDIA/VIDEO/XP.DestinationConnectionList=I2;I2
Explanation: The rst user (Connection #1) set a subscription to a node. Later the other user (Connection
#2) made a change, and thanks for the subscription, the rst user got a notication about the change.
6.4. Formal Denitions
Method parameters and property values are specied in a modied version of Backus-Naur Form (BNF). The
syntax is the following:
“literal” literals are quoted
<expression1>|<expression2> vertical bars denote alternatives
[<expression>] expressions in square brackets are optional
<number>*[<expression>] expression is repeated at least <number> times
*[<expression>] <number> may be omitted, in this case number defaults to 0
<number>*{<expression>} expressions in curly brackets are repeated exactly <number>
times
In Input port number
Om Output port number

6.9. Sending Message via the Communication Ports
6.9.1. Sending Message via an RS-232 Port
The RS-232 ports can be used for sending a command message to a device which can be controlled over
serial port. Both local RS-232 and extended link RS-232 ports can be used. The three different commands
allow to use different message formats.
Sending Message
The command is for sending a command messages in ASCII-format with an option for escaping special charaters.
Command format: CALL●/MEDIA/UART/<P 1>.sendMessage(<message>)
Response format: mO●/MEDIA/UART/<P 1>:sendMessage
Example:
˃CALL /MEDIA/UART/P1:sendMessage(PWR0\x0d\x0a)
˂mO /MEDIA/UART/P1:sendMessage
Escaping in the Message
When commands need to be separated by <CR><LF> charaters to be recognized by the controlled device,
then they need to be escaped. You can use the following format for escaping:
<command 1><\x0d\x0a><command 2><\x0d\x0a>...<command n><\x0d\x0a>
See more details in section.Escaping
Sending Text Message
The command is for sending a text message in ASCII-format.

7.5. Keeping the Conguration Settings
User can keep all conguration settings and restore to the device after rmware upgrading or can choose to
perform a factory reset – it means all settings will be erased in the device. In case of factory reset you can
save the settings of the device and restore it later. For the detailed information about saved data refer to the
Content of Backup File section.
The following ow chart demonstrates how this function works in the background.
Flow chart of rmware upgrade
The details about the procedure:
when rmware upgrade starts, the
rst step is making a backup of the
settings of the device. The rmware
package checks the backup data and
if it is needed, a conversion is applied
to avoid incompatibility problems
between the rmware versions. If you
do not want to keep conguration
settings, you can set the Factory reset
option enabled.
The instruction in the rmware
package of the device will inform
you about this function availability,
reading it is highly recommended in
every case.
Select devices page in the rmware package
ATTENTION! In specic cases restoring cannot be applied fully and certain settings are not copied back
to the device. If a warning message appears, user can get back the original data from the backup. Logs
of the upgrade procedure contain all backup data, it can be exported at the end of the upgrade procedure.
Details about the procedure of log exporting can be found in the section. In case of Detailed Instructions
any question, please contac .t support@lightware.com
ATTENTION! In certain cases, the new rmware version requires setting all parameters to set factory
defaults. In this case, the “Factory reset” option is enabled by default and not changeable by the user, see
details in the section.Detailed Instructions
ATTENTION! The feature is only supported by LDU version 1.3.0 and above.

How to Speed up the Troubleshooting Process?
Lightware’s technical support team
is always working hard to provide the
fastest support possible. Our team’s
response time is one of the best in the
industry and in the toughest of cases we
can directly consult with the hardware
or software engineer who designed the
product to get the information from the
most reliable source.
However, the troubleshooting process can be even faster… with your help.
There are certain pieces of information that push us in the right direction to nding the root cause of the
problem. If we receive most of this information in the rst e-mail or it is gathered at the time when you call
us, then there is a pretty high chance that we will be able to respond with the nal solution right away.
This information is the following:
▪ Schematic (a pdf version is preferred, but a hand drawing is sufcient).
▪ Serial number(s) of the device(s) (it is either printed somewhere on the box or you can query it in the
Device Controller software or on the built-in website).
▪ Firmware versions of the devices (please note that there may be multiple CPUs or controllers in the
device and we need to know all of their rmware versions, a screenshot is the best option).
▪ Cable lengths and types (in our experience, it’s usually the cable).
▪ Patch panels, gender changers or anything else in the signal path that can affect the transmission.
▪ Signal type (resolution, refresh rate, color space, deep color).
▪ Emulated EDID(s) (please save them as le and send them to us).
▪ Actions to take in order to re-create the problem (if we cannot reproduce the problem, it is hard for us
to nd the cause).
▪ Photo or video about the problem (‘image noise’ can mean many different things, it’s better if we see
it too).
▪ Error logs and backup les from the Lightware Device Controller software.
The more of the above information you can give us the better. Please send these information to the Lightware
Support Team to speed up the troubleshooting process.

9.2. HDCP Management
Lightware Visual Engineering is a legal HDCP adopter. Several
functions have been developed which helps to solve HDCP related
problems. Complex AV systems often have both HDCP and non-HDCP
components. The extender allows transmitting HDCP encrypted and
unencrypted signals. The devices will be still HDCP compliant as they
will never output an encrypted signal to a non-HDCP compliant display
device. If an encrypted signal is switched to a non-compliant output, a
red screen alert or muted screen will appear.
9.2.1. Protected and Unprotected Content
Many video sources send HDCP protected signal if they detect that
the sink is HDCP capable – even if the content is not copyrighted. This
can cause trouble if an HDCP capable device is connected between
the source and the display. In this case, the content cannot be viewed
on non-HDCP capable displays and interfaces like event controllers.
Rental and staging technicians often complain about certain laptops,
which are always sending HDCP encrypted signals if the receiver
device (display, extender router, etc.) reports HDCP compliancy.
However, HDCP encryption is not required all the time e.g. computer
desktop image, certain laptops still do that.
To avoid unnecessary HDCP encryption, Lightware introduced the
HDCP enabling/disabling function: the HDCP capability can be
disabled in the Lightware device. If HDCP is disabled, the connected
source will detect that the sink is not HDCP capable, and turn off
authentication.

Non-HDCP compliant sink is connected to the extender. Some
sources (e.g. computers) always send HDCP encrypted signals if the
receiver device reports HDCP compliancy, however, HDCP encryption
is not required all the time (e.g. computer desktop image). If HDCP is
enabled in the extender, the image will not be displayed on the sink.
Setting the HDCP parameter to Auto on the output port and disable
HDCP on the input port, the transmitted signal will not be encrypted
if the content is not protected. Thus, non-HDCP compliant sinks will
display non-encrypted signal.

The layout is the same as in the previous case: non-HDCP compliant
display device is connected to the extender but the source would send
protected content with encryption. If HDCP is enabled on the input
port of the extender, the source will send encrypted signal. The sink
is not HDCP compliant, thus, it will not display the video signal (but
blank/red/muted/etc. screen). If HDCP is disabled on the input port
of the extender, the source will not send the signal. The solution is to
replace the display device to an HDCP-capable one.

9.3. Pixel Accurate Reclocking
Signal reclocking is an essential important procedure in digital signal
transmission. After passing the reclocking circuit, the signal becomes
stable, jitter-free, and can be transmitted over more equipment like
processors, or event controllers. Without reclocking, sparkles, noise,
and jaggies appear on the image.
Lightware’s sophisticated Pixel Accurate Reclocking technology
xes more problems than general TMDS reclocking. It removes not
only intra-pair skew but inter-pair skew as well. The Pixel Accurate
Reclocking circuit eliminates the following errors:
Intra-pair skew
Skew between the + and - wires within a differential wire pair (e.g.
Data2- and Data2+). It’s caused by different wire lengths or slightly
different wire construction (impedance mismatch) in DVI cable. It
results in jitter.
Intra-pair skew
+
-
Inter-pair skew
Skew between two differential wire pairs in a cable. It is caused by
different wire pair lengths or different number of twists in the DVI
cable. Too much inter-pair skew results color shift in the picture or
sync loss.
+
-
Inter-pair skew
+
-
Jitter
Signal instability in the time domain. The time difference between two
signal transitions should be a xed value, but noise and other effects
cause variations.
Jitter
+
-
Noise
Electromagnetic interference between other electronic devices such
as mobile phones, motors, etc. and the DVI cable are coupled onto the
signal. Too much noise results in increased jitter.

9.4. Serial Management
9.4.1. General Information
There are two types of devices in general serial communication:
▪ Data Terminal Equipment: Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) is an end instrument that converts user
information into signals or reconverts received signals. Typical DTE devices: computers, LCD touch
panels and control systems.
▪ Data Circuit-terminating Equipment: Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE) is a device that sits
between the DTE and a data transmission circuit. It is also called data communication equipment and
data carrier equipment. Typical DCE devices: projectors, industrial monitors and ampliers.
Among others the pin assignment is different between DTE and DCE.
DTE DCE
Pin 2: RD TD
Pin 3: TD RD
RD: Received Data (digital input)
TD: Transmitted Data (digital output)
Different type of serial cables must be used between different serial devices.
DTE DCE
DTE Null-modem Straight
DCE Straight Null-modem*
* In general contact DCE with DCE by tail-circuit serial cable.
9.4.2. Types of Serial Cables
Straight Serial Cable Null-modem Serial Cable
Straight pin-outs both ends. Straight pin-out at the one end and cross
pin-out at the other end (interchange lines
of TX and RX).
Serial cables between devices may have male or female plugs and their type may be straight or null-modem
in usual.
ATTENTION! The cable type does not depend on the plug type.
9.4.3. RS-232 Signal Transmission over Lightware Extender Devices
The following examples describe the detailed integration of Lightware devices between different RS-232 pin
assignment units.
INFO: Both HDMI20-OPTC-TX220-Pro and HDMI20-OPTC-RX220-Pro are DTE units (according to their pinouts)
with male plugs.
Extending RS-232 between DTE and DCE third-party devices
Connect null-modem serial cable between controller system (DTE) and the transmitter (DTE) and straight
serial cable between receiver (DTE) and projector (DCE).
