Lightware MX2M-FR24R-RF Modular 24x24 4K Hybrid Matrix Switcher - 9...
Product Overview
The Lightware MX2M-FR24R-RF is a 24x24 modular 4K hybrid matrix switcher frame with redundant power supplies (R) and a front-panel display (F), without the power tray included in the RFP configuration. It provides the same 18 Gbps per port 24x24 video crosspoint and 88x88 audio crosspoint, the same hot-swappable I/O board architecture accepting HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, optical fiber, CATx, Dante/AES67, and analog audio boards, and the same internal 1G Ethernet layer for extender connectivity. The RF variant is chosen when a power tray accessory is not required in the specific rack configuration, while retaining the redundant PSU and front-panel display functionality. This frame suits broadcast environments, government AV infrastructure, large academic facilities, and live event productions requiring modular signal type flexibility and PSU redundancy.
Product Description
The MX2M-FR24R-RF operates identically to the RFP variant: 6 input and 6 output video board slots (4 ports per board), 4 auxiliary/audio board slots, redundant hot-swappable PSU drawers with 1+1 up to 500W frame power and up to 1200W PoE in dual-drawer configuration, and a 2.2-inch TFT LCD front-panel display with rotary switch. Board options include the MX2M-4HDMI20-IB/OB (HDMI 2.0), MX2M-DH-4DP12-IB (DisplayPort 1.2), MX2M-4OPTJ-IB/OB (fiber SC optical), MX2M-4TPX-IB/OB (SDVoE/CATx), MX2M-AUX-DANTE-32CH (Dante/AES67), and MX2M-AUX-8AUDIO (analog 8-channel). IT security features include LDAP, AD, SSH, and HTTPS. Zero frame latency of less than 7.4 µs end-to-end.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the MX2M-FR24R-RF and MX2M-FR24R-RFP?
- The RFP includes a power tray accessory; the RF does not. All other specifications—crosspoint size, board slot count, redundant PSU, front-panel display, audio crosspoint, and Ethernet layer—are identical. Select RF if your rack configuration does not require the power tray.
- How many HDMI 2.0 ports can this frame support maximum?
- With 6 input slots and 6 output slots each taking a 4-port HDMI 2.0 board, the maximum is 24 HDMI 2.0 inputs and 24 HDMI 2.0 outputs — the full 24x24 crosspoint. Mixing board types reduces the HDMI count accordingly.
- Can Dante audio boards be installed alongside video boards?
- Yes. The 4 auxiliary slots accept Dante/AES67 boards independently of the 6+6 video board slots. Dante audio operates on its own 88x88 audio crosspoint within the frame.
