UBEX series – Matrix Application Mode – User's Manual 2
This equipment must be used with a mains power system with a
protective earth connection. The third (earth) pin is a safety feature,
do not bypass or disable it. The equipment should be operated only
from the power source indicated on the product.
To disconnect the equipment safely from power, remove the power
cord from the rear of the equipment, or from the power source. The
MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device
shall remain readily operable.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside of the unit. Removal of the
cover will expose dangerous voltages. To avoid personal injury, do not
remove the cover. Do not operate the unit without the cover installed.
The appliance must be safely connected to multimedia systems.
Follow instructions described in this manual.
For the correct ventilation and to avoid overheating ensure enough
free space around the appliance. Do not cover the appliance, let the
ventilation holes free and never block or bypass the ventilators (if any).
To prevent injury, the apparatus is recommended to securely attach to
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that
be placed on the apparatus.

project is the UBEX

extension with extra low latency for the user. It applies packet-based
transmission instead of the conventional method.
support the hot swap connection, therefore they are interchangeable
by the user without powering off the device. There could be either
direction per 10 Gbps link). The maximum supported cable length is
400 m with multimode modules (OM4), and 10 km with short range
singlemode modules, or 80 km with long range singlemode modules.
In a typical application with standard, non-blocking 10 Gbps Ethernet
switch it is necessary to use both directions of the link. Therefore the
One of the primary advantages of the new architecture is scalability.
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 functions are also provided to save
upgrades of the connected endpoint UBEX devices, it is possible to
network. Based on the communication with the UBEX endpoints, the

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;
Frame rate conversion is available for the UBEX endpoints
in transmitter, receiver, and transceiver operation modes

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.

clock frequency are the same with the HDMI inputs, no
internal scaling or conversion is applied.

The optimized fan operation allows installing the
endpoint device to places where minimum sound
emission requires.
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.

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.

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 mixture of these. More different

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
▪ - 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.

MATRIX APPLICATION MODE
Application diagram of Matrix mode - Video wall application
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
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.
