Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F100 RED 2MM Optical AV Over IP Video System for 10G Networks - 91820003

Product Overview

The Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F100 RED 2MM is a dual-channel 4K UHD optical AV-over-IP extender operating at 20 Gbps over two multimode fiber cables, with two pre-installed 10G SFP+ multimode fiber modules. It delivers uncompressed 4K UHD@60Hz 4:4:4 video extension across 10G Ethernet networks and has achieved Tempest SDIP27 Level B certification, making it deployable in defense and intelligence environments requiring classified signal security. Designed for large-scale AV-over-IP deployments, it integrates with UBEX virtual matrix architectures controlled by the UBEX-MMU-X200 Matrix Management Unit.

Product Description

The UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F100 RED 2MM transmits or receives two independent 4K UHD@60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 video signals simultaneously over a 20 Gbps optical link using two 10G SFP+ multimode fiber modules. The device connects to a standard 10G Ethernet switch as part of a UBEX virtual matrix, with the UBEX-MMU-X200 MMU providing crosspoint management and endpoint supervision. Scaling of video signals to match target display properties is built in, as is HDR support (HDR10, HDR12, Dolby Vision), HDCP 2.2/1.4 compliance with cross-conversion, and Pixel Accurate Reclocking. Using visually lossless compression, two 4K signals can be transmitted over a single 10G fiber port, halving the required switch port count compared to competing 10G IP architectures. For signals within single-fiber bandwidth limits, video redundancy over the second fiber channel is available. The installed 10G SFP+ multimode modules are field-exchangeable by the user. The SDIP27 Level B (Tempest) certification allows this unit to be specified for sensitive government and defense AV installations where emanation security is mandated.

Key Features

• Tempest SDIP27 Level B certified — Qualified for defense and intelligence installations with classified emanation security requirements.
• Dual 4K UHD@60Hz 4:4:4 channels — Transmits or receives two simultaneous uncompressed 4K HDMI 2.0 signals over a single 20G optical link.
• Two pre-installed 10G SFP+ multimode modules — Field-exchangeable by the user; compatible with OM3/OM4 multimode fiber.
• Visually lossless compression option — Enables two 4K signals over a single 10G fiber port, reducing required switch port count by 50%.
• Video redundancy — Second fiber channel can provide signal redundancy for single-fiber-bandwidth video streams.
• HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 with cross-conversion — Supports both HDCP versions simultaneously with automatic cross-conversion capability.
• HDR support — Compatible with HDR10, HDR12, and Dolby Vision in the HDMI 2.0 signal path.
• 4K video scaling — Scales output video to match connected display properties; includes color subsampling (4:4:4 to 4:2:0 downconversion).
• Pixel Accurate Reclocking — Eliminates jitter and skew from optical conversion and multi-device signal chains.
• UBEX virtual matrix compatible — Operates as an endpoint in UBEX AV-over-IP networks managed by the UBEX-MMU-X200.
• Advanced EDID Management — Per-port EDID control for source resolution compliance across complex signal paths.
• Flexible mounting — Rack, furniture, and truss mounting options; front-to-back cooling airflow for rack installations.

Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SDIP27 Level B certification mean for this product?

SDIP27 Level B (Tempest) certifies that the device meets NATO/government standards for limiting unintentional electromagnetic emanations that could compromise classified information. This makes it suitable for secure government and defense AV installations.

Is a Matrix Management Unit required to operate this device?

For virtual matrix operation and crosspoint management, the UBEX-MMU-X200 is required. The unit can also operate in point-to-point mode without an MMU.

What fiber type is compatible with the installed SFP+ modules?

The 2MM variant ships with multimode SFP+ modules compatible with OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber. Single-mode and CAT6A copper SFP+ variants are available separately.

Can the SFP+ modules be replaced in the field?

Yes. The SFP+ modules are field-exchangeable by the user without returning the unit to Lightware.

How does dual-4K-over-single-10G-port work?

Using visually lossless compression, two 4K signals are combined and transmitted over a single 10G fiber port. This requires both signals to individually fall within the available bandwidth after compression.

What audio formats are supported?

The UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F100 RED 2MM supports Dolby TrueHD, Dolby ATMOS, and DTS-HD Master Audio in addition to standard HDMI 2.0 audio formats.

Where can I purchase the UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F100 RED 2MM?
