UMX4x4-Pro
UMX4x4-Pro, the all-round Universal Matrix Switcher, is the perfect solution for ever-changing environments
such as small board rooms and classrooms. UMX (Universal MatriX) technology was recently developed by
Lightware to support various analog and digital audio visual formats. VGA, YUV, digital DVI, HDMI with HDCP,
stereo analogue and S/PDIF digital audio signals are all supported.
Each input port incorporates an individual EDID Manager, a video A/D converter and a digital/analog video switch.
No frame delay occurs if an analog signal is digitized. Each port contains an auto sync function, but the picture
parameters can also be fine-tuned manually. The built in Frame Detector and graphical signal analyzer helps make
precise adjustments and our Pixel Accurate Reclocking technology provides exceptional signal regeneration
capability. UMX4x4-Pro has the ability to input HDMI with embedded audio and DVI with HDCP encryption, VGA,
component video and analog or digital audio. De-embedding audio from the incoming HDMI stream, re-embedding
at output from a different audio source and even routing audio separately from video is easily handled with the
UMX switcher. Up to 8 video sources can be connected to the system, 4 digital and 4 analog, with 4 accessible
simultaneously.
With the additional features, such as RS-232 and IP control and a comprehensive software suite, the UMX4x4-Pro is
our most powerful and adaptive matrix yet.

Incorporated Lightware developed technologies
No signal latency – Zero frame Delay: Lightware’s UMX4x4-Pro - like all Lightware matrix routers and standalone
extenders - add no frame noticeable delay to the switched signal. There is no frame or line period delays to the
signals when passing a Lightware router.
Advanced EDID Management – Lightware Matrix controller
This proprietary Lightware technology has been further upgraded. It stores more than 100 user EDID files and offers
various factory preloaded versions including all standard DVI resolutions. HDMI EDID with various audio channels
and codecs are also supported, plus analog VESA and non-standard VGA EDID formats. With the supplied software,
which includes our Advanced EDID Editor option, users can create their own EDID file, send by Email, upload to any
Lightware product or modify existing EDID data read from any projector or monitor. It supports .bin, .dat and .edid
file formats allowing system engineers to generate EDID files for 3rd party manufacturer’s AV products.

UMX4x4-Pro
Breakaway audio/video switching
UMX4x4-Pro has several input and output connection possibilities due to the various connectors and compatible signal
types. The UMX technology provides separate switching of audio and video including de-embedding and embedding
of HDMI signals. For instance, de-embedding audio from the incoming HDMI stream, re-embedding at outputs from a
different audio source or even routing the audio separately is easily handled with the Lightware’s UMX switcher.
Breakaway switching provides various options as seen below. Two sources are connected to the UMX Matrix: a
laptop with VGA video and analog stereo audio and a Blu-ray Player with HDMI video and embedded audio. The
AV receiver takes an HDMI signal with video and audio.

HDCP compatibility: Lightware UMX4x4-Pro is compatible with HDCP encrypted sources and displays. Installing
a complex AV system with both HDCP and non HDCP components becames easy and almost plug and play.
HDCP key counter is a tool that counts and validates the number of keys accepted by a source device
when connected to an HDCP repeater.
HDCP key caching is the technique introduced 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 an HDCP handshake at every single switch and keeps all sources live sending
uninterrupted video and audio signals. Similar to fixing an EDID on input ports, the whole video and
audio system will be free from black displays, 5..8 second blinking screens and dropped signals that
are all too common in many switching and distribution products.
HDCP enabling/disabling function turns off HDCP capability on individual input ports while
keeping other inputs HDCP compliant. Some computers choose to encrypt their output even when
unprotected content is displayed, such as desktop images or presentations. This function forces the
source to send an unencrypted signal if the content itself is also unencrypted.
Instantaneous Switching is performed when a key press or a switch command has been sent over any control
port. Lightware routers do not add delay to the switch function and multiple switches can be executed at the
same time instantaneously. Even non-locked sources’ signals are switched instantaneously allowing displays
to resynchronize as fast as their internal circuitry allows. This resynchronization time may take between 50
milliseconds and 2 seconds depending on the display or projector type.
Frame Detector and Input Signal Analysis: uniquely available on Lightware matrices, this function makes it
possible to determine the exact video format that is sent by the source and therefore helps to identify many
potential issues. The signal analyzer displays detailed information regarding an incoming video and audio signal
such as timing, frequencies, scan mode, HDCP encryption, color range, color space and audio sample rate. In the
Frame Detector window the parameters are displayed on an intuitive graphical interface.

UMX4x4-Pro
Built-in cable compensation: Each input port contains an individual built-in cable extender. The cable equalizer is used in
automatic adaptive mode and extends the cable length on inputs respective to the signal format. Using a 22AWG high quality
DVI or HDMI cable, the inputs are automatically compensated for up to 20 meter cable length at HDTV 1080p, WUXGA and
2K computer resolutions at 24bpp. This feature eliminates the need for additional cable extender boxes in the system rack.
Pixel Accurate Reclocking: this Lightware proprietary technology was introduced by the world’s first DVI matrix
switcher (MX8x8DVI-Pro) in 2006 and provides exceptional signal regeneration capability. The circuitry cleans
the signal from noise, skew and jitter caused by long cable runs, EMC incompatible devices or poor quality
equipment. Automatic skew compensation eliminates intra-pair and inter-pair skew caused by imperfect wire
twists and lengths in DVI cables. Pixel Accurate Reclocking decodes the pixel information from the video content
and drives them over the dual PLL circuitry. The regenerated pixel information is re-encoded again as a DVI or
HDMI signal ensuring the output is stable with sharp digital transitions and accurate timings.

Various Control options have been introduced to ease system control, setup, maintenance and troubleshooting.
The Ethernet connector proves a reliable connection to the LAN allowing multiple TCP/IP and WEB controls
simultaneously. An RS-232 / RS-422 connector is provided for 3rd party systems.
Web control provides user control of the system, including
management, monitoring and controlling such as source and
destination video and audio selection and advanced options of the
video/audio signals. Commands are configured with a simple and
intuitive graphical user interface even through your smartphone.
