Lightware UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110 RED Optical AV Over IP Video System for 10G Networks - 91820101

Product Overview

The Lightware UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110 RED is an F-type (transmitter) AV-over-IP node in the UBEX Pro20 HDMI series, designed for uncompressed 4K HDMI signal distribution across 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It ships as the base unit — a single-node transmitter without fiber transceivers included — giving integrators full control over optical link configuration. This makes it a cost-effective entry point for large-scale commercial AV-over-IP installations in corporate, government, and education environments where uncompressed HDMI 2.0 AV-over-IP distribution is required. Typical search terms for this product include Lightware UBEX Pro20 HDMI transmitter, 10G AV over IP HDMI encoder, and uncompressed 4K AV-over-IP transmitter.

Product Description

The UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110 RED (base) operates as the transmitter end of a point-to-point or matrix AV-over-IP system running on a standard 10GbE switching fabric. The F110 designation indicates this unit carries two SFP+ optical ports, supporting either single-mode or multimode fiber transceivers — purchasers select and install transceivers separately based on distance requirements. Signal processing is zero-latency and uncompressed, preserving full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth including 4K/60Hz 4:4:4, HDR, and multi-channel audio without codec artifacts. The device integrates into Lightware's LDC (Lightware Device Controller) software environment for centralized routing, EDID management, and monitoring.

The chassis accepts standard SFP+ modules, making it future-proof as fiber infrastructure evolves. RS-232, USB, and Ethernet control ports allow direct management or integration into third-party control systems including Crestron, AMX, and Extron. The unit is 1RU rack-mountable and draws standard power, appropriate for permanent installation in AV equipment rooms and data closets.

Key Features

• Uncompressed HDMI 2.0 transmission — full 4K/60Hz 4:4:4 signal with no compression artifacts over 10GbE
• Dual SFP+ optical ports — supports both single-mode and multimode transceivers for flexible distance planning
• Base unit (no transceivers) — integrators specify and install their own SFP+ modules per project requirements
• Zero-latency signal path — sub-frame latency suitable for live event and broadcast-adjacent applications
• HDR and deep color support — handles HDR10 and Dolby Vision passthrough within HDMI 2.0 specification
• Embedded multi-channel audio — up to 8-channel PCM and HBR audio formats preserved in the IP stream
• LDC software integration — full compatibility with Lightware Device Controller for centralized AV system management
• Third-party control system support — RS-232, TCP/IP, and USB control ports for Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Q-SYS integration
• Advanced EDID management — per-port EDID emulation and locking prevents source compatibility issues
• 1RU rack-mountable chassis — standard rack form factor for clean equipment room installation

Typical Applications

• Corporate boardroom AV-over-IP distribution
• Conference room HDMI signal extension over fiber
• Government and secure facility AV systems
• Training room multi-display signal distribution
• House of worship production AV infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the base unit ship with SFP+ transceivers?

No. The UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110 RED (base) includes the chassis with dual SFP+ ports but no transceivers. You select single-mode or multimode SFP+ modules separately based on your fiber plant and distance requirements.

What network switch is required?

A 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch is required. The switch must support jumbo frames (MTU 9000+) and ideally IGMP snooping for multicast-based deployments. Standard 1GbE switches are not sufficient for uncompressed 4K streams.

Can this unit be used in a matrix (many-to-many) configuration?

Yes. Multiple UBEX transmitters and receivers connected through a 10GbE switch can be configured as a full AV-over-IP matrix using Lightware's LDC software or third-party control systems.

Is HDCP supported?

Yes. The unit supports both HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4, making it compatible with protected commercial content sources.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

Up to 4K UHD (3840x2160) at 60Hz with full 4:4:4 chroma sampling, uncompressed over 10GbE.

How is the unit controlled in a larger AV system?

The UBEX series is managed through Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software. It also exposes RS-232 and TCP/IP ports for direct integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Q-SYS control processors.

Where can I purchase this product?

The Lightware UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-F110 RED (base) is available directly from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware reseller specializing in commercial AV systems.
