Introduction
Lightware’s UCX Matrix Switcher receiver is part of a transmitter-receiver configuration that provides the same functionality as the UCX product range in terms of signal management and connectivity. Such functionality includes video resolution up 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 through the USB-C and HDMI inputs, easy USB host switching, and advanced security features. At the same time, the bundle overcomes the limitations imposed by the USB and HDMI cables and allows for the extension of video, audio, and control signals in one direction and the USB 2.0 and control data and in the other up to a transmission distance of 100m.

GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output Ports)
The device has seven GPIO pins that operate at TTL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 digital signal levels and can be set to high or low level (Push-Pull). The direction of the pins can be input or output (adjustable). The signal levels are the following:
Input voltage (V) Output voltage (V) Max. current (mA)
Logic low level
0 – 0.8
0 – 0.5
30
Logic high level
2 -5
4.5 – 5
18
Plug pin assignment 1-6: Configurable, 7: 5V (max. 500 mA); 8: Ground
The recommended cable for the connectors is the AWG24 (0.2 mm2 diameter) or the generally used `alarm cable’ with 4×0.22 mm2 wires.
O The maximum total current for the six GPIO pins is 180 mA, the max. supported input/ output voltage is 5V.
RS-232
The switcher provides a 3-pole Phoenix connector for bi-directional serial communication. The signal levels are the following:
Output voltage (V)
Logic low level
3 – 15
Logic high level
-15 – 3
Plug pin assignment: 1: Ground, 2: TX data, 3: RX data
123
b We highly recommend using CAT6a AWG24 Screened and Foiled Twisted Pair (SFTP) cables for the TPX connection, as lower grade cables may be vulnerable to interference that causes signal quality issues.
OCS (Occupancy) Sensor
The switcher is supplied with a 3-pole Phoenix connector (male), which is for connecting an OCS sensor. Plug pin assignment: 1: Configurable; 2: 24V (max. 50 mA); 3: Ground
