1.1. Description
Lightware's one of the most visionary development project is
the UBEX (Ultra Bandwidth Extender) product family. UBEX
is a fiber-optical, scaling AV-Over-IP system which allows
uncompressed 4K UHD@60Hz 4:4:4 signal extension with latency-free multistreaming, designed to use in
a 10G Ethernet network. UBEX operates with zero frame latency, provides seamless switching and lossless
reproduction of source signals of up to 4K60Hz 4:4:4, without artifacts. Uncompressed 4K60Hz 4:4:4 data
transmission, or visually lossless compression at higher data rates.
It has standard, 10 Gbps SFP+ optical modules installed, which are field exchangeable by the user. UBEX can
transfer two video signals over a single 10G link with minimal compression, which requires half the router
size compared to the needs of similar, 10G IP based architectures. With a 20G configuration, UBEX can
transfer 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 over two links uncompressed. The maximum reachable distance is ranging between
400 m and 80 km, depending on the type of singlemode or multimode SFP+ optical modules installed in the
device. The UBEX design also favors dual-screen applicationsas a single UBEX device can handle 2x HDMI
2.0 video ports. For video signals which can be transferred within the 10G speed limit of a single optical fiber,
a video signal redundancy feature is available employing the second optical fiber channel.
The Video Wall Wizard for UBEX features quick video wall installation with bezel adjustment and cropping,
includes options for various layouts within the video wall matrix and also allows zones for smart management.
The R-type UBEX product variant is specifically designed to withstand the daily wear and tear impacts
of dynamic, Rental&Staging type of applications. The devices shares the features of the standard
UBEX–PRO20–HDMI–F100 model, with additional features and changes in build and dimensions.
The internal power source of UBEX has Medical (60601) and ITE (60950) grade classifications for maximum
reliability.
Matrix Management Unit
UBEX-MMU-X200 is a Matrix Management Unit (MMU) for the UBEX AV Over IP optical extender product line.
With a standard Ethernet switch installed as a crosspoint, a virtual matrix can be created with UBEX devices
connected to the IP network as input and output endpoints. The virtual matrix established requires to be
managed and controlled by the MMU also connected to the Ethernet switch.
The MMU builds and constantly updates a database of the UBEX endpoints connected, displaying a
traditional crosspoint view of the virtual matrix in the Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software, also
displaying connected, but inactive units.
Users connect and communicate directly with the MMU in matrix mode, and MMU connects to and relays
communication to the endpoint UBEX units.
The MMU displays information about endpoints and the overall virtual AV network, backup and restore
functions are also provided to save and load the configuration. The MMU also manages the firmware
upgrades of the connected endpoint UBEX devices, it is possible to initiate an update of the firmware on
all UBEX units present in the network. Based on the communication with the UBEX endpoints, the MMU
manages and supervises bandwidth use efficiency.
