1.5. Application Modes
UBEX extender system has two main application modes:
▪ Extender Mode - Point-to-point connection between a transmitter and a receiver, or between two
transceiver endpoint devices. This document is about the Extender mode only.
▪ Matrix Mode - Virtual AV matrix with more transmitters, receivers, transceivers, and a Matrix
Management Unit (MMU) which controls the AV network. The user's manual of the UBEX Matrix mode
can be downloaded from the following link:
https://lightware.com/pub/media/lightware/filedownloader/file/User-Manual/UBEX_Matrix_
UsersManual_v1.6.pdf
INFO:
The Extender or Matrix mode is set automatically in the endpoint device. If the device detects direct
connection with another endpoint device at the other side of the connection, the mode is set to Extender
mode; if the MMU connects to the device, the mode is set to Matrix mode.
The two modes bring different functionality and control methods for the endpoint and the MMU devices. The
following settings are available in the MMU only in case the Matrix mode:
▪ Operation mode setting (transmitter / receiver / transceiver configuration for the endpoints)
▪ All network-related settings, e.g. DHCP setting, static IP address, etc.
▪ All HDMI port settings for the inputs and outputs
▪ EDID settings
▪ Reloading factory defaults
▪ Centralized firmware upgrade method for the endpoint devices
ATTENTION!
Switching between the Extender and Matrix mode changes the LCD menu structure and
the LW3 command protocol tree of the endpoint device. It happens because of the control settings listed
above transfer between the endpoints and the MMU.

Application diagram of Extender mode - TX-RX pair
Description
The UBEX transmitter (UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110, TX operation mode) has two video source devices (media
servers) and an audio source device (media player). The streams can be checked on the local monitors
connected to the transmitter.
The UBEX receiver (UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110, RX operation mode) has two video sink devices (a 4K projector
and a 4K monitor) and an analog audio sink device (audio amplifier).
The 4K projector is controlled via RS-232 interface by the UBEX receiver.
The UBEX extender pair is able to transmit a 4K UHD 60 Hz 4:4:4 and a 4K UHD 30 Hz 4:4:4, or two 4K 60 Hz
4:2:2 streams.
