The MMU builds and constantly updates a database of the UBEX endpoints connected to the network, displaying a traditional crosspoint view of the virtual matrix in the Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software, also displaying connected, but inactive units.

Users connect and communicate directly with the MMU in matrix mode, and MMU connects to and relays communication to the endpoint UBEX units.

The MMU displays information about endpoints and the overall virtual AV network, backup and restore functions are also provided to save and load the configuration.

The MMU also manages the firmware upgrades of the connected endpoint UBEX devices, it is possible to initiate and update of the firmware on all UBEX units present in the network. The MMU device can update the firmware of endpoint UBEX units in a virtual matrix application simultaneously, without limitation for the number of devices in the setup. Based on the communication with the UBEX endpoints, the MMU manages and supervises bandwidth use efficiency.

The MMU also serves as an interface for third party control systems and includes Lightware’s proprietary Advanced EDID Management technology.

This device has standard one RU size and can be installed in a rack with the help of the rack ears. UBEX-MMU-X200 has an internal power source running on standard 110/220V connected via a standard IEC port to mains.
