Important Safety Instructions Please read the supplied safety instruction document before using the product and keep it available for future reference. Introduction Thank You for choosing Lightware MMX4x2 series device. The product is a uniquely mini size matrix switcher with additional Lightware developments. Audio can be de-embedded from the HDMI signal to a balanced 5-pole Phoenix (Euroblock) port and external audio signal can be embedded into the HDMI stream from another 5-pole Phoenix input port. The device has a built-in Event Manager configurable via the Lightware Device Controller software. Further control options are served by the USB, RS-232, IR (in and out) and Ethernet ports.
The MMX4x2-HT200 matrix is compatible with any thirdparty HDBaseTTM device.
HDBaseTTM and the HDBaseT Alliance logo are trademarks of the HDBaseT Alliance.
Compatible Devices MMX4x2-HT200 matrix is compatible with other Lightware TPS devices, matrix TPS and TPS2 boards, 25G boards, as well as third-party HDBaseT-extenders, but not compatible with the phased out TPS-90 extenders.

 Infrared emitter and detector units are optionally available accessories.

HDMI HDMI

Connect the matrix and the source devices (e.g. Blu-ray player) using the HDMI inputs and HDMI cables.
Connect the sink devices to the HDMI output port by HDMI cables.

Audio

Optionally for analog output connect an audio device (e.g. audio amplifier) to the analog audio output port by an audio cable.

Audio

Optionally for audio extension: connect the audio source (e.g. media player) to the audio input port by an audio cable.

IR

Optionally for Infrared extension:

 Connect the IR emitter to the IR OUT port of the matrix, and/or  Connect the IR detector to the IR IN port of the matrix.

LAN

Optionally connect the matrix to a LAN in order to control the device.

RS-232 Optionally for RS-232 extension: connect a controller/controlled device (e.g. touch panel) to the RS-232 port.

Power

Connect the power adaptor to the DC input on the matrix first, then to the AC power socket.

 It is recommended not to power on the devices before the final step.

Mounting
To mount the matrix Lightware supplies optional accessories for different usage. There are two kinds of mounting kits with similar fixing method. The matrix switcher has two mounting holes with inner thread on the bottom side. Fasten the device by the screws enclosed to the accessory.

Under-desk double mounting kit

1U high rack shelf

The Under-desk double mounting kit makes easy to mount a single device on any flat surface, e.g. furniture. 1U high rack shelf provides mounting holes for fastening two half-rack or four quarter-rack sized units. Pocket-sized devices can also be fastened on the shelf. To order mounting accessories please contact sales@lightware.com.

 Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.

 The matrix is half-rack sized.

Locking DC Plug Twist 90° clockwise to lock.

Compact Size Matrix Concept
MMX4x2 series device is a multifunctional audio/video matrix switcher with four inputs and two outputs. The HT200 model is built with HDBaseTTM (TPS) technology. The device can be controlled over various interfaces, e.g. Ethernet, USB, RS-232, and Infrared. The matrix is built with audio embedder and de-embedder functions.
