UBEX-MMU-X200 is a Matrix Management Unit (MMU) for the UBEX AV Over IP optical extender product line.
With a standard Ethernet switch installed as a crosspoint, a virtual matrix can be created with UBEX devices
connected to the IP network as input and output endpoints. The virtual matrix established requires to be
managed and controlled by the MMU also connected to the Ethernet switch.
The MMU builds and constantly updates a database of the UBEX endpoints connected, displaying a
traditional crosspoint view of the virtual matrix in the Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software, also
displaying connected, but inactive units.
Users connect and communicate directly with the MMU in matrix mode, and MMU connects to and relays
communication to the endpoint UBEX units.
The MMU displays information about endpoints and the overall virtual AV network, backup and restore
all UBEX units present in the network. Based on the communication with the UBEX endpoints, the MMU

The Matrix Management Unit (MMU) can build up a dynamic virtual matrix with any number
of transmitters, receivers and transceivers connected in one network. It displays a traditional
crosspoint view of the virtual matrix in the Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software, also
displaying the video streams which can be sorted by unique tags for the easy recognition.
The UBEX devices can be arranged to a Video wall up to 8x4 (column x row) display devices.
The displayed video can be the same on each display, one image enlarged to all the sinks, or the
The Matrix Management Unit can prioritize the video streams by the signal bandwidth. The

connected endpoint devices. User can always check the current state of the UBEX matrix in the

The UBEX system is Ethernet based, using 10 GbE, IGMPv2, and IPv4 protocols.
Each output has a clean, jitter free signal, eliminating signal instability and distortion caused by

The UBEX extenders complies to the HDCP 2.2 standard. HDCP capability on the digital video
inputs can be disabled when non-protected content is extended.
The exact video and audio signal format can be determined such as timing, frequencies, scan
mode, HDCP encryption, color range, color space and audio sample rate.
Video scaling is the process of changing the size of a video frame in order to match the native
resolution of a display sink. It involves converting the resolution to a higher or lower format and
also a change in aspect ratio; typically from 4:3 to 16:9.
step by the user anytime.
Frame rate conversion is available for the UBEX endpoints in transmitter, receiver, and
transceiver operation modes either. The most frequently used refresh rates can be forced on
both inputs or outputs.
UBEX series extenders provide seamless switching (clean cut) technology which is the
capability to deliver consistent performance and reliability. The advantage of the technology is
that various environments with different video sources and displays will not impact signal loss.
UBEX endpoint devices are able to simultaneously transmit two video streams with embedded
audio via the SFP+ interface.
Stream Copy
UBEX endpoint devices are able to copy the stream of the HDMI out 1 to the HDMI out 2 port.
This is the COPY function. The function is available in receiver and transceiver operation modes.

The optimized fan operation allows installing the endpoint device to places where minimum

Open-source API technology at the core makes these Lightware products easy to integrate into
third-party systems. Every bit of data in Lightware systems is openly available for higher level
management and monitoring systems.
The analog audio can be embedded to HDMI outputs and embedded audio can be routed to the
analog audio output in transmitter, receiver, and transceiver operation modes as well.
RS-232
AV systems can also contain serial port for controlled devices. Serial port supports any unit
that works with standard RS-232.
Infrared (IR) is a wireless technology used for device communication over short ranges.
Infrared is commonly used for remote control based applications. Third-party control systems
may send IR control commands to endpoints turning them on and off or switching their inputs.

MATRIX APPLICATION MODE
UBEX extender system has two main application modes: #applicationmode
▪ - Point-to-point connection between a transmitter and a receiver, or between two
transceiver endpoint devices. The user's manual of the UBEX Extender mode can be downloaded from
the following link: #extendermode
UsersManual.pdf
▪ - Virtual AV matrix with more transmitters, receivers, transceivers, and a Matrix
Management Unit (MMU) which controls the AV network. This document is about the Matrix mode only.
#matrixmode
INFO:The Extender or Matrix mode is set automatically in the endpoint device. If the device detects direct
connection with another endpoint device at the other side of the connection, the mode is set to Extender
mode; if the MMU connects to the device, the mode is set to Matrix mode.
The two modes bring different functionality and control methods for the endpoint and the MMU devices. The
following settings are available in the MMU only in case the Matrix mode:
▪
▪All network-related settings, e.g. DHCP setting, static IP address, etc.
▪All HDMI port settings for the inputs and outputs
▪EDID settings
▪Reloading factory defaults
▪
Switching between the Extender and Matrix mode changes the LCD menu structure and
the LW3 command protocol tree of the endpoint device. It happens because of the control settings listed
above transfer between the endpoints and the MMU.

The UBEX matrix has 16 pcs transmitters (UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110, TX mode) and 8 pcs receivers
(UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110, RX mode).
Each transmitter is connected to a dual head 4K rack PC and transmits two streams together. The transmitted
HDMI streams can be a 4K UHD 60 Hz 4:4:4 and a 4K UHD 30 Hz 4:4:4, or two 4K 60 Hz 4:2:2. The transmitters
receive an analog audio signal as well, it is also transmitted beside the HDMI streams and can be selected
to any or all ports of the receivers.
Each receiver has two 4K-ready video sink devices and a symmetrical analog audio sink device.
The matrix is supervised by the UBEX Matrix Management Unit (MMU) which is controlled by a PC. All
endpoint devices and the MMU are connected to a 96-port 10G Layer 3 network switch.

The UBEX matrix has more endpoint devices which can be
UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F100 and UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110 models
variously and they can be in transmitter, receiver, or transceiver
operation modes.
The matrix is supervised by the UBEX Matrix Management Unit (MMU)
which is controlled by a PC. All endpoint devices and the MMU are
connected to a 96-port 10G Layer 3 network switch.
The transmitters can be connected to a single laptop or a dual head
4K rack PC and transmitting two streams together.
The receivers can be connected to one or two sink devices belongs to
the required application.
The transceivers can be connected to a source and a sink device
together. The source stream is extended to another transceiver or
receiver, the destination stream which is received from another UBEX
extender is displayed on the sink device.
The transmitted HDMI streams can be a 4K UHD 60 Hz 4:4:4 and
a 4K UHD 30 Hz 4:4:4, or two 4K 60 Hz 4:2:2 in the case of the
transmitters.
Thanks to the 20G full-duplex SFP+ interface the transceiver has
no bandwidth limitation on the input and output sides either. The
transceivers are able to receive and transmit 2x 4K60 Hz 4:4:4 24 bit
streams.

The UBEX matrix contains two transmitters and four receivers
(UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F100 endpoint models).
The matrix is supervised by the UBEX Matrix Management Unit (MMU)
which is controlled by a PC. All endpoint devices and the MMU are
connected to a 96-port 10G Layer 3 network switch.
The receivers are connected to four wall-mounted displays in a 2x2
video wall application. The source streams are from four different
source devices (PC, Blu-ray player, 4K media player, and laptop) and
transmitted by the two UBEX transmitters.
The video wall may have more different layouts and a layout may be
divided into more zones. See more details about video wall feature in
the Video Wall section.
The UBEX matrix is controlled by a RAP-B511-EU-K room automation
panel which can send LW3 protocol commands to the MMU over
Ethernet. The control buttons of the RAP panel can be programmed for
the best available supervising of the video wall, for example changing
the layout of the wall, or crosspoint changing for each zones, etc.
INFO:RAP-B511 series devices can be ordered separately for the
UBEX matrix. For the details please contact sales@lightware.com.
