Proprietary MX2 Technologies
No Signal Latency
Lightware matrix switchers and standalone extenders do not add any frame or line-period delay to the video signal, switching happens instantaneously, making these devices particularly suitable for operations where even the slightest latency is unacceptable.
Frame Detector & Input Signal Analysis
This unique Lightware technology determines the exact video format sent by the source to identify any issues while displaying signal properties such as timing, frequencies, scan mode, HDCP encryption, colour range and space, and audio sample rate.
Advanced EDID Management
This proprietary Lightware technology can store more than 100 user EDID files and has a large set of factory preloaded EDID versions including all standard resolutions. HDMI EDIDs with various audio channels and codecs are also supported.
Rugged Solutions for Rental and Staging
We offer MX2 variants with particular focus on rental applications. These editions are built to provide a more robust solution and come with two independent power sources with separate mains connectors to offer power redundancy.
The power connector, the RS-232 and Ethernet connectors are all reinforced, rugged types, especially fitting rental and staging purposes, where wear and tear effects are more regular in everyday use.
Enhanced Audio Features
All of our MX2 devices support 3D, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Although audio signal management is important, it is not equally crucial across different applications.
Consequently, we offer MX2 matrix variants with dedicated analog audio I/O ports for enhanced audio functionality and the possibility of audio embedding and de-embedding.
Simplifying DisplayPort Connectivity
Certain AV applications prefer to use DisplayPort connectivity instead or beside of HDMI 2.0, hence we offer a range of DisplayPort 1.2 compatible MX2 variants to eliminate the need of additional adapters and dongles. This is particularly useful when the device is installed in environments that heavily rely on DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort and/or Thunderbolt 3 connectivity and fully utilizes the MX2’s sophisticated signal management capabilities.
Furthermore, Lightware is the only AV manufacturer offering full end-to-end DisplayPort matrix switchers.
