MMX8x4-HT series – User's Manual
1.1. Description
MMX8x4-series is a standalone matrix switcher specifically designed
for collaboration room environments. It has eight video inputs and
-depending on the model- four or eight video outputs. 4K / UHD (30Hz
RGB 4:4:4, 60Hz YCbCr 4:2:0), 3D capabilities and HDCP are fully
supported.
In MMX8x4-HT400MC and MMX8x4-HT420M models the special
Audio Input Block includes input ports for microphone and line-in. The
built-in sound mixer DSP allows for free mixing of the audio signals
from the de-embedded HDMI, the microphone or the line-in. The MIC
port can also supplies phantom power to the connected microphone.
Voice Activated Presenter Focus allows the volume of the voice of
the speaker to become automatically focused, and the volume of
the rest of the sounds to be lowered, as soon as the presenter starts
speaking. The built-in DSP provides audio mixer services including
fader, equalizer, mute, balance and gain.
MMX8x8-HDMI-4K-A has six balanced, 5-pole Phoenix audio inputs or
outputs for embedding or de-embedding purposes.
The unit can be controlled via RS-232, Ethernet or USB ports, but it also
offers RS-232, Serial and IR command injection capabilities allowing
to send any control command directly to end points.

1.2. Compatible Devices
The matrix switchers are compatible with other Lightware TPS devices,
matrix boards third-party HDBaseT extenders, displays, but not
TM
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 MMX8x4 matrix switchers (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.
