Peterdy 15, Budapest H-1071, Hungary Doc. ver.: 1.0 19200044 Important Safety Instructions Please read and keep the information in the attached safety instructions supplied with the product before you start using the device. Introduction The MX2-8x8-HDMI20-Audio is the first Lightware HDMI 2.0 standalone matrix router that supports uncompromised 4K UHD resolution at 60Hz 4:4:4. Thanks to its compact size and silent design, it is particularly suitable for offices and meeting rooms, for 4K live events, and for futureproof operation centers. Box Contents Device Concept The matrix is compatible with the HDMI 2.0 standard. The feature allows to switch 4K x 2K signals with 60Hz and 4:4:4 color space from any input to any output. Additional analog audio input and output connectors allow to embed a different audio signal in the HDMI stream or breakout the audio signal from the HDMI stream on the output. HDMI 2.0 to 2x HDMI 1.4 Splitting The device supports vertical splitting of an HDMI 2.0 4k@60Hz 4:4:4 input signal to left and right halves allowing for the transmission of a 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 signal over two HDMI1.4 compliant links. The two halves can then be recombined at the signal destination. The feature is demonstrated on the application diagram, see the rear side of this guide. Analog Audio Options 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 - see the port diagram on the rear side of this guide.  Please note that only stereo LPCM can be de-embedded from the HDMI signal. HDMI 2.0 Analog audio HDMI 2.0 Analog audio 1 Output Lock Locking one or more outputs. 2 Control Lock Disables or enables front panel operations. Red light means the switching and function buttons are disabled. 3 Sources Buttons to select an input, to select a preset number or to view the state of the selected input port. 4 Destinations Buttons to select an output or to see the state of an output. 5 Function Buttons Switching between working modes (Take / Autotake) and performing Preset operations. 6 Status LEDs Blinking LIVE LED indicates normal operation; POWER LED is dark in the case of an internal voltage problem. Front View 7 IR detector LED Reserved for future developments. 8 Reset Button Reboots the matrix (the same as disconnecting from the power source and reconnecting again). 9 Color Display LCD screen showing the most important settings and parameters in the front panel menu. q Jog Dial Control Knob Easy setting and menu navigation by the jog dial control. Keep dial and click while getting feedback on the LCD. w USB Control USB connector for local control functions (e.g. Lightware Device Controller software). Rear View 1 AC Connector Standard IEC connector accepting 100-240 V, 50 or 60 Hz. 2 Service Button Hidden button for special operations. 3 RS-232 Port 3-pole Phoenix connector for RS-232 serial port. 4 LAN RJ45 connector to control the matrix via LAN/Ethernet. 5 Input Ports HDMI input ports for sources. Audio input ports (5-pole Phoenix) for balanced analog audio input signal. 6 Output Ports HDMI output ports for connecting sink devices. Audio output ports (5-pole Phoenix) for balanced analog audio output signal. The signal is de-embedded from the given HDMI port. Mounting Options  M4x8 size is the longest allowed screw for fixing the ears to the housing. Longer screw may touch internal parts. Mounting as a Standard Rack Installation - with front rack ears Two rack ears are supplied with the product, which are fixed on left and right side as shown in the picture. The default position allows mounting the device as a standard rack unit installation. Under-desk Mounting - with front and rear rack ears  Two rack ears supplied with the product; further rack ears can be purchased separately. Please do the following steps: 1. Release and remove the fixing screws of both rack ears on the matrix. 2. Rotate the rack ears by 90° to the desired direction. 3. Insert the screws into the holes and fix the front ears to the matrix. 4. Fix the two other rear ears (not supplied with the product) by the screws on both sides. 5. Fix the matrix by the rack ears to the desired surface (screws not supplied). Ventilation  To ensure the correct ventilation and avoid overheating let enough free space around the appliance. Do not cover the appliance, let the ventilation holes free. The following pictures show the direction of the airflow: Installation 1 Connect the desired source to an HDMI input port. 2 Optionally connect an audio source to the Audio input port which is located next to the connected HDMI input port. 3 Connect a sink device to an HDMI output port. 4 Optionally connect an audio device (e.g. amplifier) to the Phoenix Audio output port which is located next to the connected HDMI output port. 5 In order to control the matrix via Ethernet, connect the device to a LAN switch/router, and connect a controller (e.g. Touch panel). 6 Connect the power cord to the AC power socket and to the matrix.  Always use high-quality HDMI cables for connecting sources and displays. Powering on Connect the power cord to the AC input connector; the matrix is immediately powered on. After the self-test (about 20 seconds), the router reloads its last configuration and it is ready to use.  After switching ON, the router reloads the latest settings which had been used before it was turned off. The router has an internal emergency memory that stores all current settings and crosspoint states. This memory is independent from the presets and invisible for the user. This built-in feature helps the system to be ready immediately in the case of a power failure or an accidental power down. Software Control – Using Lightware Device Controller (LDC) The device can be controlled from a computer using the Lightware Device Controller software. The application is available at www.lightware.eu (Support / Downloads section), install it on a Windows PC or a Mac OS X and connect to the device via LAN, USB or RS-232.
