MX2 matrix switchers are available with 16x16 and 24x24 crosspoint
sizes, with or without analog audio add-ons, and some versions are
also available with redundant power sources, paired with rugged
power connectors and reinforced control ports. All models feature a
front panel, color LCD screen with great visibility, and a jog-dial, multi-
function button, enabling the users to manage every device feature
and service directly.
Further product variants have been developed to better serve various
target application requirements, in 8x8, 8x4 and 4x4 crosspoint
sizes. The new compact variants are excellent choices for not only
Rental & Staging, but also for various corporate and other collaborative
environments.
* Please note that only stereo LPCM can be de-embedded from the
HDMI signal.

Keep minimum two thread left after the nut screw.
Mounting with Front and Rear Rack Ears
DIFFERENCE! Under-desk mounting is available for the 1U-high
models.
ATTENTION! Two rack ears are assembled on the matrix as default,
thus, you will need two more rack ears for this kind of installation,
which can be purchased separately.
The matrix can be easily mounted under the desk by rack ears. This
mounting option means the top of the matrix is parallel with the base
surface. Please do the following steps:

DIFFERENCE! DisplayPort inputs are available in certain models, -D
letter the model name refers to that (see the Model Comparison
table).
▪If the emulated EDID does not support the deep color signal
(10, 12-bit), and the incoming video is deep colored, then the
video processor converts the signal to 8-bit automatically. The
compatible color depths can be checked in the EDID Menu in
Lightware Device Controller software.

the resolution of the incoming video signal is more than
the full HD with deep color (e.g. 4K@30Hz with 10-bit or
12-bit), the color depth is reduced to 8-bit.
▪If the signal is 4K@30Hz with 10-bit or 12-bit, using F146
EDID (3840x2160@60Hz with deep color support) is highly
recommended.
▪DisplayPort signals over 18Gbps will be converted down by
either truncating bit depth or by converting RGB signal to YCbCr
4:2:2 12-bit signal based on user selection. The second option
will not reduce the color depth rather, it results in loss of chroma
information.

▪An external audio signal can be embedded in the HDMI stream
by the Analog Audio input port. In this case the audio from
the analog input port is converted and embedded in the HDMI
stream. Furthermore, the Analog audio output ports allow to
de-embed the audio of the HDMI output stream. Please note that
only stereo LPCM can be de-embedded from the HDMI signal.
▪The test pattern generator feature makes possible to transmit
the analog audio without any video signal.

4. Operation MX2-HDMI20 series – User's Manual 18
If every source, destination, and Take buttons are unlit (the unit is in
Take mode, and no input was selected in the last 3 seconds), press
and release a destination button to see its current state. Now the source
button, which is connected to the selected destination, will light up.
Sample drawing shows that Output 3 is connected to the Input 1.
View Current State in Autotake Mode
In Autotake mode only states of destinations can be viewed.
Press and release the required destination button. Now the source
button, which is connected to the selected destination, will light up.
Switching Operations
Switching in Take Mode
Take mode allows the user to connect or disconnect multiple outputs
to an input at once. This mode is useful when the time delay is not
allowed between multiple switching. The commands are only realized
when the Take button is pressed.
Step 1. First, press and release the desired source button. The pressed
source button and all destination buttons which are currently
connected to the source lights up.

DIFFERENCE! Some models have buttons on the front side
(see the details about it in the Model Comparison table).
They have the same functionality, only the numbers of source and
destination buttons are different.
Take / Autotake Mode
The router has two different switching modes: Take and Autotake. If
the Take button is unlit, Take      Take button
continuously illuminates green, Autotake mode is selected. Press and
hold the Take button for two seconds to change between Take and
Autotake modes.
View Crosspoint State
The current switching status can be checked on the front panel by
using the front panel buttons. The crosspoint state is displayed slightly
different in Take or Autotake modes because of the different switching
methods.
INFO: View mode does not mean, that the router has to be switched
in different modes, viewing and switching can be done after each
other, without pressing any special buttons.
View Current State in Take Mode
If the router is in Take mode, the user can verify both input and output
connections. In Take mode no accidental change can be done unless
Take button is pressed.
Press and release a source button. Now the selected source button and
all destination buttons which are currently connected to the selected
source will light up. This informative display will remain active for
three seconds, then all buttons turn to dark.
Sample drawing shows that Input 1 is currently connected to the
Output 2, 3, and 5 ports.

seconds, the buttons will turn to dark.
Step 3. Press and release Take button; the selected input is switched to
the selected output(s).
Switching in Autotake Mode
Autotake mode is useful when immediate actions must be done or
fast switching is needed between sources on a particular destination.
In this mode switching occurs immediately upon pressing one of the
input selector buttons.
Step 1. Press and release the desired destination button. The pressed
destination button and the actually connected source button
light up green. If no source is connected (the output is muted)
no source button will light up.

Using Lightware routers it is possible to lock a destination. This feature
prevents an accidental switching to the locked destination in case of an
important signal. Locking a destination means that no input selection
or muting action can be executed on that particular destination.
Destinations can be independently locked or unlocked. Locking a
destination does not affect other destinations.
Output Lock in Take Mode
Step 1. Press and release the Output Lock button; it starts to blink and
all the buttons of any locked destinations light up (view state).
