1.3. Features of the Devices
Maximum A/V Compatibility
The matrix is compatible with the latest HDMI 2.0 standard as well as with HDMI 1.x and DVI 1.0
standards.
4K Video without Compression
HDMI 2.0 signal switching with 4k@60Hz and RGB 4:4:4 color space, 18 Gbit/sec
bandwidth.
HDCP Compliant
MX2-HDMI20 matrix switchers fulfill the HDCP standard. HDCP capability on the HDMI
2.2
inputs can be disabled when non-protected content is extended.
Audio Embedding and De-embedding
In the -A or -Audio suffixed models, each input port has audio connectors for embedding
analog audio to the HDMI stream. Likewise, the audio connectors next to the output ports can
provide de-embedded audio for amplifiers and audio systems.
Advanced EDID Management
The user can emulate any EDID on the inputs independently, read out and store any attached
monitor's EDID in 100 internal memory locations, upload and download EDID files using Lightware
Device Controller software.
Pixel Accurate Reclocking
Each output has a clean, jitter free signal, eliminating signal instability and distortion caused
by long cables or connector reflections.
Frame Detector and Signal Analysis
The exact video and audio signal format can be determined such as timing, frequencies, scan
mode, HDCP encryption, color range, color space and audio sample rate.
Graphic Display and Rotary Jog Dial Control Knob
Easy setting and menu navigation are assured by the color graphic display and the comfortable
jog dial control.
MX2-HDMI20 series – User's Manual
HDMI 2.0 to 2x HDMI 1.4 Splitting
The device supports vertical splitting of an HDMI2.0 4k@60Hz 4:4:4 input signal to left and right
halves allowing for the transmission of an 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 signal over two HDMI1.4 compliant
links. The two halves can then be recombined at the signal destination.
Unique Front-to-Back Cooling Airflow Design
The matrix includes a groundbreaking new cooling design with front-to-back airflow. Inside the
chassis, the airflow travels along guiding panes assuring that the most warm areas receive ample
amount of cooling air volume.
Ethernet Control
Multiple simultaneous TCP/IP connections are available with a simple ASCII-based protocol
for controlling, configuring the matrix router or perform a firmware upgrade.
Non-Volatile Memory
The matrix router starts with its latest configuration settings when powered on or after a power
failure. Every setting is stored in a non-volatile memory.
Consumer Electronic Control
CEC
Supports transmitting standard CEC commands in order to remote control the source or sink
device.
