    6 source and 6 destination devices. and the receivers can be variated dynamically because of the MMU is The UBEX endpoint has 2 HDMI input ports and 2 HDMI output ports, able to handle it in real time. An asymmetric matrix can also be built so the network needs 3 transmitters for the 6 inputs and 3 receivers for the 6 outputs.

    1550 nm region can be optically amplified (usually with an EDFA) whereas optical connection between the UBEX transmitters and receivers. The fiber optical network solutions provide stable amplification is not commonly available at 1310 nm. As a result, 1310 nm transmission requires electrical and trustworthy signal transmission in the video network.
