Lightware UBEX Helps Rental Teams Deploy Faster And Saf...

Lightware's UBEX is a powerful AV-over-IP product well suited for rental and staging workflows where systems must be fast to deploy, easy to repurpose, and dependable show after show.

Designed for professional AV and live events such as concerts and conferences, UBEX enables low-latency dual-channel HDMI extension with pixel-accurate 4K UHD video delivery, supporting HDR and HDCP 2.2 for consistent, high-quality results.

In rental environments, time is critical during setup and teardown. UBEX's extender mode provides simple point-to-point connectivity for HDMI extension over a single 10G or 20G fibre optic or copper cable, and can be deployed as a traditional extender pair with no Ethernet switch required when straightforward extension is the goal. Plug-and-play operation, auto-equalization, and cable diagnostics help crews deploy quickly and troubleshoot efficiently in dynamic, high-pressure on-site conditions.

For demanding visuals, UBEX supports uncompressed 4K UHD video at 60Hz with HDR, delivering professional-grade performance with ultra-low latency (0.01 ms) for a natural, real-time feel.

It supports long-distance transmission up to 100 metres over copper, or several kilometres over fibre, helping rental teams cover stage-to-FOH, control-room-to-display, and projector runs with reliable transmission.

Built for resilience, UBEX offers end-to-end redundancy options and a wide range of failover features designed to keep signals stable during critical operations.

Redundant power and fast failover mechanisms support continuous operation through interruptions, while a short boot time (18.4 seconds) helps technicians get back online rapidly after power cycling between load-ins.

UBEX also supports advanced control and monitoring for AV integration. RS232 pass-through and IR pass-through enable remote device control, while SNMP monitoring supports network management and ongoing diagnostics. For flexible installation, hot-swappable SFP+ modules help crews adapt quickly to available fibre types and distances, and rugged metal enclosures are designed for the harsh realities of rental handling. For rental-ready connectivity, the UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-R100 variants add options including Neutrik opticalCON, etherCON, and powerCON TRUE1 (model dependent).

Product variants are also available with balanced analog audio In/Out, USB HID extension and Full USB 2.0 extension.

Rental environments reward solutions that stay dependable under pressure and adapt quickly on site. With redundancy, seamless switching, ultra-low latency, and flexible operating modes, UBEX gives production teams the confidence to deliver consistent 4K performance across concerts, events, museums, and compact immersive exhibitions, says Gergely Vida, CEO at Lightware.

UBEX is your trusted partner for high-bandwidth, professional AV signal extension without compromise.
