Lightware has expanded the scalability of its 10G TPN AV-over-IP platform with the introduction of the TPN-MMU-X100 Matrix Management Unit, enabling systems with up to 100 TX/RX endpoints. The unit, now shipping, supports Lightware’s Taurus TPN, HDMI-TPN and HDMI-OPTN endpoint families, as well as USB20-1GBE USB extenders, bringing centralised management of the complete TPN system into one interface.
The TPN-MMU-X100 combines an integrated SDVoE Control Server with Lightware’s centralised management interface, bringing endpoint discovery, device configuration, signal routing and network management into a single environment. Its device management interface gives integrators an overview of all TPN endpoints, allowing them to identify, name and configure devices, including RS-232 settings, before assigning them to signal routes.
Once configured, the MMU provides centralised crosspoint routing for video, audio and USB, while its network management tools support automatic and static IP addressing and help identify potential network incompatibilities during deployment.
Gergely Vida, CEO at Lightware, said: “The TPN-MMU-X100 represents a significant evolution of the TPN platform, enabling systems with up to 100 TX/RX endpoints while simplifying the configuration and management of bigger deployments. We are giving integrators the tools to build larger TPN systems quickly and easily.”
The unit can operate across both AV and corporate network environments, aimed at deployments such as large meeting facilities, auditoriums and university campuses. For third-party control, it provides a Lightware API as a centralised integration point, extending the underlying SDVoE Control Server, alongside built-in LARA support for communication and monitoring.
