LightWare MMX2-4x3-H20 HDMI 2.0 Switcher with breakout Audio, Occupancy Sensor input and various control features - 91310078

Product Overview

The Lightware MMX2-4x3-H20 is a compact HDMI 2.0 matrix switcher with four inputs and three independent outputs, designed for corporate meeting rooms, huddle spaces, and collaboration environments where multiple in-room computers and BYOD devices share one or more displays. It supports video switching up to 4K UHD at 60Hz 4:4:4, includes audio de-embedding to a balanced analog output, and integrates occupancy sensor connectivity, GPIO automation ports, and RS-232/Ethernet control — making it suitable for automated room management without a separate room control processor in many scenarios.

Product Description

The MMX2-4x3-H20 accepts four HDMI 2.0 sources and routes them independently to three HDMI outputs. Unlike a simple switcher, the three outputs are independent, allowing different combinations of sources to appear on different displays simultaneously — for example, a confidence monitor, a room display, and a recording output showing different inputs.

The occupancy sensor input (with 24V power supply) enables automated switching or room power-down when the room is unoccupied, reducing energy consumption and eliminating the need for staff intervention. Configurable autoselect on video inputs can automatically switch to the most recently active source. Audio de-embedding extracts audio from the HDMI signal to a balanced 5-pole Phoenix connector, enabling connection to room audio systems without a separate audio extractor. The device is HDCP 2.2 compliant and handles uncompressed video up to 18 Gbps.

Key Features

• 4x HDMI 2.0 inputs, 3x independent HDMI outputs — true matrix routing, not a simple switcher
• 4K UHD 60Hz 4:4:4 — full 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, HDCP 2.2 compliant
• Audio de-embedding — balanced 5-pole Phoenix output for room audio system integration
• Occupancy sensor input — 24V powered sensor port for automated room management
• Configurable autoselect — automatically routes the most recently active input
• GPIO control ports — integrate display power and room lighting into automated workflows
• RS-232 and Ethernet (TCP/IP, SSL, HTTPS) — secure device control from room control systems or IT infrastructure
• Passive, noiseless cooling — suitable for open-plan offices and acoustically sensitive spaces

Typical Applications

• Corporate meeting rooms with in-room PC and BYOD input requirements
• Huddle spaces with automated source switching and occupancy-based room control
• Training rooms with multiple presenter inputs and a recording or confidence output
• Executive boardrooms requiring secure HTTPS device management
• Multi-display collaboration spaces with independent routing to each screen

Frequently Asked Questions

Can all three outputs show different sources simultaneously?

Yes. The MMX2-4x3-H20 provides three independently routed HDMI outputs. Each output can display any of the four inputs independently and simultaneously.

What occupancy sensor types are compatible?

The unit provides a 24V DC supply for occupancy sensor connection. PIR and similar sensors that accept 24V supply and output a contact closure or voltage signal are typically compatible. Verify sensor specifications against the Lightware datasheet.

How does autoselect work?

Autoselect monitors the active status of connected video inputs and switches to the most recently active source. This can be configured independently per output using Lightware Device Controller software.

Is the audio de-embedding output balanced or unbalanced?

The analog audio output uses a balanced 5-pole Phoenix connector. The output level is adjustable in software (volume and balance controls available through Lightware Device Controller).

Can the MMX2-4x3-H20 be controlled by a third-party room control system?

Yes. RS-232 and Ethernet TCP/IP control interfaces allow integration with room control systems from Crestron, AMX, Control4, and others using the Lightware LW3 protocol.

Does the unit require a fan for cooling?

No. The MMX2-4x3-H20 uses passive cooling and operates silently. This makes it suitable for open-plan offices, executive boardrooms, and other acoustically sensitive environments.

Where can I purchase the MMX2-4x3-H20?

Available from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware distributor for commercial AV integrators and corporate AV consultants.
