Lightware 3

This module is for controlling Lightware equipment that supports LW3 protocol. So far only MX2-8x8-HDMI20, MX2-48x48-HDMI20-A-R, MMX8x8-HDMI-4K-A-USB20 and HDMI20_OPTC have been tested. Not all actions or feedbacks may work with other stuff. Please contact us if your LW3 compatible equipment is not supported.

Configuration

• Type in the IP address of the device.
• The device will use port 6107.

Actions

• Switch - Route video input to output
• Select source and destination - just select inputs and outputs for routing them with the 'Route selected ports' action
• Route selected ports - make tie between selected ports
• Preset - Recall a preset
• Run Macro (only available if there are macros)
• Switch USB Host (only available if your matrix has USB switching capability)
• Soft Reset Device

Feedbacks

• Route - Shows if a given source is routed to a given output or selected port
• selected Source and Destination - Shows the currently selected ports for the 'Route selected ports' action

Variables

• name_I1 or name_O1 - The name of the input or output port, the number counts up to the number of available ports
• source_O1 - The input currently routed to output 1, the number counts up to the number of available ports
• sourcename_O1 - The name of the input currently routed to output 1, the number counts up to the number of available ports

Presets

• Presets are available for selection of all inputs and outputs your matrix supports. You can use them to make routes with two or three button pushes.
  With two pushes use: 1. Select Output, 2. Select and Take Input
  with three pushes use: 1. Select Output or Select Input, 2. Select Input or Select Output, 3. Take selected
  The presets for selecting and switching crosspoints make the buttons act very similar to an X/Y salvo panel. Color feedbacks show active routes and selections as background and tet colors. It is more difficult to explain then in reality, so just play with it and you'll get it.
