Features of the Device
Common Features
3D and 4K Support
High bandwidth allows extension of resolutions up to 4K and even 3D sources and displays are
supported.
Pixel Accurate Reclocking
Each output has a clean, jitter free signal, eliminating signal instability and distortion caused by
long cables or connector reflections.
Frame Detector and Signal Analysis
The exact video and audio signal format can be determined such as timing, frequencies, scan
mode, HDCP encryption, color range, color space and audio sample rate.
Autoselect Function for Video and USB Inputs
The Autoselect feature can sense the port status on the video input and USB Host ports and
select them automatically. Priority number can be set for each input port and the feature allows
to set various modes for the automatic input selection (First detect, Last detect).
De-embedder Function
The analog audio can be de-embedded from HDMI inputs and it can be routed to the analog
audio output.
HDCP-compliant
The switcher fulfills the HDCP standard. HDCP capability on the digital video inputs can be
disabled when non-protected content is used.
Dark Mode*
#new
All illuminating elements of the front/rear panel can be switched on and off. This feature is
useful in live-stage shows or other environments where flashing LEDs would be distracting.
Ethernet Control
Multiple simultaneous TCP/IP connections are available with a simple ASCII-based protocol for
controlling, configuring the product or perform a firmware update.
LWR
Basic IT-security*
#new
These entry-level network security improvements help to prevent unauthorized access to the
Lightware device: HTTPS/WSS support, basic network authentication.
RS-232
Bi-directional RS-232*
#new
AV systems can also contain serial port controllers and controlled devices. Serial transmission
supports any unit that works with standard RS-232.
GPIO Control Port
Six GPIO pins operating at TTL digital signal levels and can be controlled with LW3 commands.
5V is supplied over the 7th pin constantly, up to 500 mA.
Occupancy Sensor Connector
Occupancy sensor connection (with 24V power supply).
USB 3.1 Switch
The USB 3.1 layer provides the switching of four external USB peripherals (e.g. webcamera,
speakerphone, multitouch display, etc.) to four independent host computers or laptops.
Lightware Rest API*
#new
The UCX switcher can be controlled through standard HTTP(S) requests to ensure the control
functions from REST clients or terminal program.
UCX-2x1-HC30, UCX-4x2-HC30 , UCX-4x2-HC30D
USB Type C Source Connection
USB Type C port ensures USB-C connectivity to the source device with USB 3.1 data and
Displayport Alternate mode for video. It provides power delivery up to 60 W for the connected
device (e.g. BYOD laptop or smartphone).
UCX-4x2-HC30D
Dante
®
or AES67 Audio De-embedding
The audio of the HDMI signal can be transmitted as a 2-channel Dante® or AES67 source from
the -D model over the dedicated RJ45 connector.
