  • Page 9: Introduction

    1. Introduction Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing Lightware UMX4x4-Pro2 matrix switcher. It is able to switch 4 inputs to 4 outputs in a non-blocking crosspoint configuration. The UMX4x4-Pro2, the all-round universal matrix switcher, is the perfect solution for ever- changing environments such as small board rooms and classrooms.
  • Page 10  Universal power supply – UMX4x4-Pro2 matrices accept AC voltages from 100 to 240 Volts with 50 or 60 Hz line frequency on standard IEC connector.  Power failure memory – In case of power failure, the unit stores its latest configuration, and after next power up it loads automatically.

  • Page 15: Electrical Connections

    3.4.1. DVI inputs and outputs DVI Inputs UMX4x4-Pro2 matrix switchers provide standard 29 pole DVI-I connectors for inputs. This way, users can plug in any DVI connector, but keep in mind that analog signals (such as VGA or RGBHV) are processed only on the DVI inputs.

  • Page 16: Digital Audio Inputs And Outputs

    Plugs and sockets on consumer equipment are conventionally color-coded by CEA/CEDIA-863-B (ANSI) to aid correct connections. According to the standard Lightware uses red colored RCA connectors for right channel of analog stereo audio signals and white colored RCA connectors for left channel of analog stereo audio signals.

    HDMI capable devices must have CEA extension, but not all devices are HDMI capable which have the extension. 4.1.1. Common problems related to EDID „My system consists of the following: a computer, a Lightware UMX4x4-Pro2 Problem: matrix, a WUXGA (1920x1200) LCD monitor, and an SXGA (1280x1024) projector.

  • Page 20: Advanced Edid Management

    Most DVI sources (VGA cards, set top boxes, etc.) will output DVI signal after accepting the connected sink’s EDID information. In case of EDID readout failure or missing EDID the source will not output DVI video signal. UMX4x4-Pro2 provides Lightware’s Advanced EDID Management function that helps system integration.

  • Page 21: Hdcp Management

    4.3.2. HDPC key caching Lightware introduced the HDCP key cashing technique in early 2009 that validates all the display keys in an AV system during system boot up and keeps them constantly available for sources. This method eliminates the HDCP handshake at every switch and keeps all sources sending uninterrupted signals.

    4.5.6. Validity of RICOD The last command will be saved for each input and will be preserved until a new command arrives or until the function is disabled. If the remote controlled device is restarted, replaced or disconnected and connected again, then the command will be executed again.

  • Page 27: An Example Application

    The accepted RICOD command overrides the output lock function. If the RICOD function is turned on for a given output port, then the output lock condition can be changed remotely. 4.5.8.
