Emerging technologies that combine reality with virtual environments are making a remarkable breakthrough across many applications. Extended Reality, or XR, is the term used to describe this blend of technologies. It is one of the most exciting developments in film, television and real-world applications where virtual and real worlds combine around the talent. The goal […]

THIS IS A PROMOTED POST By Jason Tirado Lightware Think about your computer. You have a display, a camera, an Ethernet port, a USB device, a microphone, speakers, power requirements, etc. Now, think about a typical meeting room. The room has a display, a camera, an ethernet port, a USB device, microphone, speakers, power requirements. […]
During the week of Feb. 8, the industry’s flagship virtual event returns: LAVNCH WEEK 3.0. And, Lightware sent this teaser video as a pre-launch (pre-LAVNCH?) piece. I must say: It’s clear Lightware is about to launch itself into a totally new space in UCC — and AV for that matter. From this teaser, it appears […]
At ISE 2020, Lightware previewed an entirely new family of products called Taurus — designed to be UCC hub, of sorts, to accommodate both wired (all forms of USB) in a meeting room. Here’s a slide deck that explains it but, more importantly, Gary was joined by Lightware’s President, Jason Tirado, who explains the concept of Taurus, when […]
Lightware’s latest is UBEX (Ultra Bandwidth Extender), an AV-over-IP extender that’s capable of sending 4K UHD@60Hz 4:4:4 (12-bit color) signal extension with the use of packet-based transmission. The video signals are handled fully uncompressed and transmitted (or receive – keep reading) over 20 Gbps or using minimal, visually lossless compression. UBEX can extend two full 4K signals simultaneously over […]
HDBaseT has been described as a bridge technology between traditional video transport and IP-based systems, the time for which is rapidly arriving. It’s a technology about which I’ve not been excited for some time; every manufacturer not only uses the same chipset (produced by Valens), but appears to have settled on the same form-factor and […]
Calling this analog and digital matrix a Hybrid Router, Lightware’s new 25G is touted as not only a matrix, but also “a complete signal architecture”: a cloud that supports eight media layers — video, audio, Ethernet, USB KVM, USB 2.0, IR, RS-232 and CEC channels. All layers are supported by 25G Hybrid signal management; inside […]
Lightware has announced a new 3G-SDI board, the MX-3GSDI-IB, which accepts SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI video signals with embedded audio on BNC connectors (remember those?). Each channel also incorporates an SDI/HDSDI/3GSDI to HDMI/DVI conversion for switching and processing in the router frame and the SDI input signals are equalized and reclocked. The card also has […]
