Lightware has debuted its TPN-MMU-X100 matrix management unit, enabling systems with up to 100 TX/RX endpoints.
The TPN-MMU-X100 supports Lightware’s Taurus TPN, HDMI-TPN, and HDMI-OPTN endpoint families, as well as USB20-1GBE USB extenders, designed to bring endpoint discovery, device configuration, signal routing, and network management into one place.
The TPN-MMU-X100 is designed to simplify the configuration and management of large TPN systems, with a centralised device management interface that includes built-in device discovery to give integrators a clear overview of all TPN endpoints. These endpoints make it easy to identify, name, and configure devices before assigning them to signal routes. Lightware-specific settings are available, including RS-232, which can be configured directly from the same interface.
When endpoints are configured, the MMU provides centralised crosspoint routing for video, audio, and USB. Integrators can independently create and modify signal paths between transmitters and receivers from a single interface, bringing the entire workflow into one environment and simplifying the management of larger TPN deployments.
Advanced network management tools are available to support both automatic and static IP addressing, helping to identify potential network incompatibilities during deployment. The MMU can also operate across AV and corporate network environments, helping integrators to deploy TPN systems within existing network infrastructure across applications including large meeting facilities, auditoriums, and university campuses.
The TPN-MMU-X100 provides a Lightware API as a centralised integration point for the TPN system, extending the capabilities of the underlying SDVoE control server and simplifying integration with wider control environments. Built-in LARA supports is also included to add communication and monitoring capabilities within the MMU interface.
