Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F120 RED Optical AV Over IP Video System ...
Product Overview
The Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F120 RED is an F-type (transmitter) node in the UBEX Pro20 HDMI AV-over-IP series, designed for uncompressed 4K HDMI distribution over 10 Gigabit Ethernet with enhanced fiber connectivity. The F120 chassis ships as the base unit without SFP+ transceivers installed, providing two fiber ports for dual-link or redundant fiber configurations. This product addresses commercial AV integrators who require uncompressed 10G AV-over-IP with the flexibility to choose their own optical transceiver specification. Target applications include corporate campus systems, government AV infrastructure, and broadcast-adjacent facilities requiring uncompressed signal integrity. Long-tail keywords: Lightware UBEX Pro20 F120 10G AV over IP transmitter, uncompressed HDMI 2.0 fiber AV transmitter, dual SFP+ AV-over-IP encoder base unit.
Product Description
The UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F120 RED (base) is a step up from the F100 chassis, offering an enhanced fiber port architecture within the same uncompressed 10GbE AV-over-IP platform. The transmitter accepts a single HDMI 2.0 source and outputs an uncompressed IP stream at full 4K/60Hz 4:4:4 bandwidth over two SFP+ ports. The base configuration allows the deploying organization to specify their exact optical transceiver type — choosing between single-mode and multimode — to match the installed fiber plant.
The unit operates within the Lightware UBEX Pro20 HDMI ecosystem, managed via Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software. Control interfaces include RS-232, Ethernet, and USB, supporting integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Q-SYS. HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 are supported, and EDID management is handled per-port with full emulation and locking capabilities. The 1RU chassis mounts directly in standard equipment racks.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the F120 differ from the F100 and F110 chassis?
- The F100, F110, and F120 represent different chassis generations in the UBEX Pro20 HDMI F-type transmitter line, with the F120 offering an enhanced fiber port configuration. All are base units requiring separate SFP+ transceiver procurement. The specific port counts and redundancy options differ by chassis number.
- What SFP+ transceivers are compatible?
- The unit accepts standard 10GbE SFP+ transceivers. Single-mode (LC) modules are recommended for distances above 300m. Lightware or third-party 10G SFP+ modules meeting IEEE 802.3ae specifications are compatible.
- Is a 10GbE switch required?
- Yes. A 10GbE network switch with jumbo frame support (MTU 9000+) is required. For multi-node deployments, IGMP snooping is recommended for multicast stream management.
- Can UBEX nodes be mixed across F100, F110, and F120 chassis types?
- Yes. All UBEX Pro20 HDMI nodes operate on the same 10GbE IP platform and can be mixed within a single system managed by Lightware Device Controller.
- Is this unit suitable for broadcast environments?
- The uncompressed signal path and sub-frame latency make it suitable for broadcast-adjacent AV distribution. However, it is not an SDI-native product and is designed for HDMI 2.0 source environments.
