Descriptions détaillées

Application specific modular extenders with various video, audio, Ethernet, USB and I/O modules

Lightware Visual Engineering proudly introduces the MODEX family,the world’s best and fastest modular extenders supporting the AV and ?Broadcast industry’s formats. MODEX (Modular Extender) offers a full range of modular transmitters and receivers extending digital and?analog video and audio, USB KVM, Ethernet and control signals over a single fiber or CAT5/6/7 cable.

The technology built into the MODEX family breaks many standard limitations allowing 30 meters DVI cable on input, Advanced EDID Management, Pixel Accurate Reclocking, LAN, RS-232, RS-422 and USB control, remote powering and more.

MODEX Graphical User Interface

Lightware’s MODEX Modular Extenders have their own built-in websites. After a MODEX is connected and a browser launched the user meets the MODEX Graphical User Interface. This GUI allows the user to control both the MODEX transmitters and receivers in a very easy and user friendly way as the GUI is simple, smart and intuitive. To find out more please read the Quick Start Guide which is a detailed description of this software.

Media connector

MODEX includes a family of long distance transmitters and receivers for sending and receiving video, audio, RS-232 and IR control, USB KVM and Ethernet over a single fiber or CATx cable. The Media connector is the heart of the MODEX because it determines the type of signal transportation.

OPTS & OPTM Media connector

The OPTS and OPTM Media connectors give optical transmission over a single Singlemode (OPTS) or Multimode (OPTM) fiber. Lightware provides several fiber connector types to choose the best option for your application such as Neutrik OpticalCON, industrial grade LC ODVA, ST, SC, HF4, EBCM, EBCJ or LEMO. For cost effective smart solutions Lightware introduced the LC breakout Media connector which allows the user to connect another MODEX extender with a patch cable at the end point. It means you can send the signals for two MODEXs over a single Neutric OpticalCON duo cable. There are also two optional power connectors provided – to see the available combinations please check the ‘Optional fiber and power connectors’ chart. The MODEX OPTx series provide a reliable optical connection powered by an internal power supply.

Video & Audio modules

Various video formats are supported: video could be DisplayPort 1.1, HDMI 1.4 with 3D, Dual-Link DVI, SDI, 3G-SDI and analog VGA, Interlaced Composite Video. No matter, what kind of video format you have, your pixels will be extended by MODEX. The video format conversion is automatic if the two ends have different modules. The video & audio modules are also capable of transmitting audio. The source may be external S/PDIF, RCA, XLR or the embedded sound present in different video signals. Embedding and extracting audio or transmitting in both directions simultaneously is also supported.

Lightware supports the highest 4096x2160@30Hz 4K, 3840x2160@30Hz UHD resolutions since 2013. 4K I/O modules are available for MODEX extenders as well with HDMI and DVI connectors. The 4K modules are ready for shipping.

Interface modules

Lightware’s innovative MODEX architecture allows each transmitter and receiver to support a wide variety of auxiliary signal types through the Interface modules. All auxiliary signal types can be simultaneously transmitted at full bandwidth over fiber or twisted pair reducing the need for additional extenders and cabling. MODEX frames have auxiliary interface slots (half RU has two module slots). It can be any control signal, audio or Ethernet.
