2. Installation MODEX-F15-OPTS, MODEX-F15-OPTM series – User's Manual 8
Step 1. Fasten the mounting bracket on the side
of the unit with the provided screws.
Step 2. Use a bolt to attach a standard clamp.
(The clamp is not supplied with the
device.)
Step 3. Mount the unit on the truss with the
clamp.
To get a good result, the thickness of the board
should not exceed 25 millimeters.
Step 1. Cut a suitable hole in the board.
Step 2. Attach the mounting bracket on the side
of the unit with the provided screws.
Step 3. Mount the unit on the board.
Step 4. Loosen the screws a little on the bracket
and adjust the unit to line up with the front
of the board.

Installation
The chapter is about the installation of the device and connecting to other
appliances, presenting also the mounting options and further assembly steps:
Mounting Options
Devices can be mounted in several ways, depending on the application.
Besides using with rack shelf, a mounting bracket is available which
offers easy mounting on truss systems with standard clamps. The
bracket can be also used for building the unit into the furniture.
ATTENTION! Pay attention to the ventilation holes when designing
Side ventilation holes must not be covered. If a MODEX extender is
installed in a closed space, the designer shall provide satisfactory
ventilation to prevent excessive heat build-up inside.
Step 1. Turn the unit upside down.
Step 2. Put the rack shelf upside down on the unit, and position it to get
the mounting holes aligned.
Step 3. Fasten the unit on the rack shelf with the provided screws.
Step 4. Mount the rack shelf in the rack.
INFO: The MODEX transmitter and receiver units are half-rack sized.

Audio Inputs and Modes
The MODEX transmitter can receive audio signal from three types of
sources (depending on the installed interface module):
▪
▪
▪Analog balanced stereo audio sources (5-pole Phoenix).
The audio coming from the digital or analog inputs can be assigned to
any video input. The gain levels of the audio input and the volume of
the audio output ports are adjustable.
signal can be:
▪The audio of the original signal, or
▪The digital audio signal, or
▪The analog audio signal.
INFO: The audio of a HDMI input can be embedded only in the
original video stream. The audio of HDMI2 input cannot be mixed
with the video of HDMI1 input and vice versa.
Audio Outputs and Modes
The MODEX receiver can receive audio signal from three type of
sources:
▪
▪
▪Analog balanced stereo audio sources (5-pole Phoenix).
Audio De-embedding
The MODEX receiver has built-in audio de-embedder which means the
signals on the output side.
ATTENTION! De-embedding function supports 2-channel PCM
audio signals only. Other audio formats are not supported and
de-embedding will not be successful.

Crosspoint Modes
The audio crosspoint settings can be controlled by any of the following ways:
▪Using the LCD menu by pressing the navigation buttons (see in Crosspoint Settings Menu section);
▪Using the Lightware Device Controller (LDC) (see The Layout of the Crosspoint Menu section);
▪ section), or
▪Using the Autoselect function, see in The Autoselect Feature section.

The Concept
Two sources are connected to the MODEX transmitter: a Blu-ray player which sends video and embedded
audio signals on HDMI; and a media player which sends audio signals to or receives audio signals from the
depends on the settings of the transmitter and receiver sides.
Three options are available for the audio module both on the RX and TX side:
▪Analog: only analog audio signal will be transmitted.
▪Digital: only digital audio signal will be transmitted.
▪Mixed: both analog and digital audio signals can be transmitted, see available connections in the next
section.
The following scenarios are supported for the audio presentation:
▪Digital audio signal from the Blu-ray player is transmitted to the digital sink device (HD TV) and analog
audio signal from the Media player is transmitted to the analog sink device (Audio amplier) through the
▪Digital audio signal from the Blu-ray player is transmitted to the analog sink device (Audio amplier) and

▪Digital audio signal from the Microphone is transmitted to the Media player as a "reverse direction"
Mixed Audio Mode
The mixed audio mode allows to embed and de-embed analog and digital audio signals as well but the
available connections in the crosspoint are limited. Compared with the analog and digital audio modes the
crosspoint possibilities are the same so there is no transition between the analog and digital inputs and

Video Inputs in MODEX Transmitters
The MODEX transmitter can receive video signal from three types of sources (depending on the installed
video module):
▪
▪HDMI
▪DisplayPort
Video Outputs in MODEX Receivers
The MODEX receiver can output video signal three interfaces (depending on the installed video module):
▪
▪HDMI
▪DisplayPort
The Autoselect Feature
Besides manual crosspoint selection you can choose
the Autoselect option for both audio and 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.
INFO: The input ports where the priority is set to 31
will not be scanned
Flowchart of Autoselection Modes
Automatic Input Selection - Example
The Concept
If no other source but the laptop is connected to the transmitter, HDMI IN 3 input will be automatically
switched to the OPT output. If the Laptop and the PC are also connected to the transmitter, HDMI IN 2
input will be switched to the OPT output. If the Blu-ray player is connected on the HDMI IN 1 input of the
transmitter, it will be switched to the OPT output – regardless of the presence of other video signals.
