1. Introduction
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.
MMX8x8-HDMI-4K-A-USB20 is an integrator-friendly, 8x8 matrix switcher for HDMI video and USB2.0
peripherals. It has eight HDMI inputs and eight independent HDMI outputs, as well as a USB 2.0 layer that
provides the switching of four external USB peripherals (such as webcamera, speakerphone, multitouch
display, etc.) to four independent computers or laptops.
The units 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.
1.1.1. Compatible Devices
The matrix switchers are compatible with other Lightware TPS devices, matrix boards third-party HDBaseT
extenders, displays, but not 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.
