Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-R100 2xSM-2xDUO R-type Uncompressed AV-Over-IP Multimedia System for 10G Ethernet Networks - 91820303

Product Overview

The Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-R100 2xSM-2xDUO is an R-type (receiver) AV-over-IP node in the UBEX Pro20 HDMI series, shipping with two single-mode (SM) SFP+ transceivers in a 2xDUO fiber configuration. It decodes uncompressed 10GbE IP streams from UBEX F-type transmitters and outputs a native HDMI 2.0 signal to a local display or endpoint. The 2xDUO single-mode configuration provides extended fiber reach capability with duplex fiber connectivity, making this unit appropriate for multi-building campus AV deployments where long-distance single-mode fiber runs are used. Target keywords: Lightware UBEX Pro20 HDMI receiver single-mode fiber 2xDUO, 10G AV over IP receiver SM DUO fiber, uncompressed 4K HDMI receiver long-distance single-mode.

Product Description

The UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-R100 2xSM-2xDUO receives a 10GbE uncompressed HDMI 2.0 IP stream and reconstitutes it as a local HDMI 2.0 output for connection to displays, projectors, or downstream AV devices. The two included single-mode SFP+ transceivers operate in a DUO (duplex) fiber configuration — using two fiber strands per link — providing the long reach distances characteristic of single-mode fiber over 10GbE.

Signal integrity is preserved at full HDMI 2.0 specification — 4K/60Hz 4:4:4, HDR, HDCP 2.2, and 8-channel audio — with no compression or codec artifacts in the IP transport path. Lightware Device Controller (LDC) provides centralized management, and RS-232, TCP/IP, and USB control interfaces support third-party control systems including Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Q-SYS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 2xSM-2xDUO mean in the model name?

2xSM indicates two single-mode SFP+ transceivers are included. 2xDUO describes the fiber port configuration as two duplex (DUO) connections — each using two fiber strands — totaling four fiber strands across the two optical ports.

How does single-mode compare to multimode fiber for this application?

Single-mode fiber supports significantly longer distances — measured in kilometers rather than hundreds of meters — and is typically used for inter-building and campus-scale AV distribution. Multimode fiber is more cost-effective for shorter intra-building runs.

Does this unit require a matching UBEX transmitter?

Yes. The R-type receiver must pair with an F-type (transmitter) node from the UBEX Pro20 HDMI series. Both must operate on the same 10GbE network infrastructure.

Can this receiver operate in a one-to-many distribution topology?

Yes. With a 10GbE switch and IGMP snooping configured for multicast, a single UBEX transmitter can distribute to multiple receivers simultaneously, enabling large-scale digital signage or multi-display distribution.

Where can I buy this product?

The UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-R100 2xSM-2xDUO is available from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware commercial AV reseller.
