25G Hybrid Matrix Frame 160x80 Crosspoint

The 25G frames can transmit video signals up to 4K resolution, support all 3D formats, handle forward audio, transmit USB‑KVM, Ethernet, bi‑directional RS‑232/RS‑422, IR and CEC signals. The intuitive graphical user interface offers easy and user‑friendly control accessing all available features. Advanced EDID Management is included in the frame which is also HDCP compliant.

The 25G-FR160x80 frame handles up to 160 input and 80 output ports, making this frame one of the largest on the market. This frame manages the signals on 8 different layers: the signals are switched in 3 dimensions.
25G Hybrid Routers can transmit video signals up to 4K resolution, support all 3D formats, handle forward and return audio, transmit USB-KVM, Ethernet, bi-directional RS-232, IR and CEC signals. The intuitive graphic user interface makes controlling the matrix very easy and allows access to all functionality. Lightware’s proprietary Advanced EDID Management is included in the frame, which is also HDCP compliant.

Each board which contains electronic components are hot swappable which makes changes of the configuration quick and easy and this also contributes to 24/7 operation without delays. Redundant power supplies and CPU board are also available for this frame for fail safe operation in mission critical applications. The 25G CPU stores the settings of all boards and send backups for the second CPU. If the first CPU fails, the second takes over automatically with the same settings. With redundant power supplies N+1 and N+2 redundancies are avalable.

This frame is configurable with 120x120, 80x160 and 160x80 crosspoints as well. Software upgrade for these frames is available to optionally raise the capacity up to 160x160 at a later stage.

Graphic User Interface

25G Hybrid matrices have a built-in JAVA-based graphic user interface which eases system control, setup, maintenance and troubleshooting. It is accessible via LAN, RS-232 and the front panel touch screen.

25G Hybrid matrices have a built-in front panel touch screen capable of showing the 25G control software with full control options. Unit information, crosspoint setup and witching, EDID Management, Room Management, maintenance, troubleshooting and every other tool is available on the front panel display.

Room Management

As the maximal crosspoint area in the 25G Hybrid routers is a large switching plane, we have introduced ’Room Management’. A room could be a conference room, meeting room or network operation center (NOC) – in essence, whatever you want it to be.

All these rooms can be programmed with their own sources and destinations, but also can share some resources if required. If, for example, you want to prohibit an operator in one room from accidentally making switches in another, the maximal crosspoint area can be divided in smaller virtual matrices called ’rooms’.

Third party controllers will see only the crosspoints assigned to them. In this example a remote control device located in the Conference room controls the 24x32 matrix area, while the touch panel system in the Meeting room has access to a 32x32 matrix area. These controllers do not know anything about the rest of the system. However, as you can see, the two mentioned matrices overlap meaning both controllers also share common resources.
