1.2. Description
Lightware’s newest development, the MMX6x2-HT family, responds to a need of a practical
standalone matrix switcher specifically designed for meeting room and classroom
environments. The flagship of the series is the MMX6x2-HT220 matrix with 6 video inputs
and 2 video outputs (4x HDMI 1.4 and 2x TPS inputs and 2x independent video outputs:
2x HDMI ports which are both mirrored to TPS ports). The unit handles 4K video formats
and 3D signals while it’s fully HDCP compliant. The device has 4 audio input connectors
for audio insertion and 2 audio outputs for de-embedding purposes. These features make
this standalone matrix unique on the market.
Thanks to its integrated PoE power injectors, the MMX6x2-HT is able to remote power TPS
(HDBaseT) extenders on all its TPS input and output ports. The matrix receives and
transmits digital video, audio, and control up to 170 m distance over a single CATx cable.
Using the 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 conforming to the system requirements.
The unit offers IR and RS-232 command injection capabilities, allowing to send any IR or
RS-232 control command directly from the LAN connection.
1.3. Compatible devices
The matrices are compatible with other Lightware TPS devices, matrix boards third-party
HDBaseT-extenders, displays, but not compatible with the phased out TPS-90 extenders.
WARNING!
The remote power feature of TPS-95 extenders is not PoE-compatible. Thus, TPS-95
series cannot be powered remotely by the MMX6x2 matrices (but the video signal is
transmitted to/from the extenders). If an RX95 or TX95 is connected to the matrix,
make sure that the remote power jumper of the extender is removed or set to 'Remote
power disabled' position.
