Lightware MMX8x8-HT080 (91310087)
The Lightware MMX8x8-HT080 is a standalone matrix switcher specifically designed for conference room environments. It has eight HDMI inputs with eight TPS2 outputs. 4K / UHD (30Hz RGB 4:4:4, 60Hz YCbCr 4:2:0), 3D capabilities and HDCP are fully supported.
The device also has eight balanced 5-pole Phoenix audio connectors at four of the inputs, four of the outputs.
The audio signal direction of the port can be changed with the Lightware Device Controller software, so these audio ports can be either input or output ports.
PoE 48V remote powering is available on every output TPS2 ports for cost-effective installations.
MMX8x8-HT080 receives and transmits digital video, audio and control to a distance of up to 170m over a single CAT6 cable. Using factory, custom or transparent EDID emulation the user can fix and lock EDID data on each input connector. Advanced EDID Management forces the required resolution from any video source and fixes the output format to conform to the system requirements. The unit can be controlled via RS-232, Ethernet or USB ports, but it also offers Ethernet, RS-232, Serial and IR command injection capabilities, allowing to send any control command directly from the LAN connection to remote end points.
The built-in Event Manager feature provides control via RS-232, IR, Ethernet, Relay and GPIO ports. The MMX8x8-HT080 is compatible with both HDBaseTTM extenders and HDBaseTTM compliant displays.
