Matrix-Hub Series 1000 - details & specifications
The Matrix-Hub Series 1000 is a multi-interface 10 x 10 (maximum) matrix switch for high performance graphics environments. This model is designed for smaller scale topologies, giving users the ability to route up to 10 different computer sources among 10 different console destinations, in effect lowering the price-per-seat of high performance graphic workstations and servers.
Route and switch video, keyboard, mice, and serial peripherals quickly and easily to optimize operational productivity in any graphics environment. The high performance video capability makes the Model 1000 a perfect choice for the visualization center, post production or scientific applications. The Model 1000 enables up to 10 users to access multiple computers which makes it a perfect choice in the server room. When integrated with the VDE/200 Fiber Extension kit from Lightwave Communications, a versatile and highly flexible topology may be created.
Lightwave MatrixHub Secure Control
The Matrix-Hub is controlled through a serial (RS-232) port, either directly or via a dumb terminal or remotely through a networked computer. User friendly menus and commands make controlling and programming the Hub simple tasks. The Matrix-Hub Series 1000 allows for different levels of control, giving users a variety of access and control privileges.
Lightwave MatrixHub Multi Platform Versatility
The Matrix-Hub Model 1000 may be used in a variety of applications. The Model 1000 operates transparently so any keyboard conversions take place outside of the switch. Source (input) cards and destination (output) cards are available for PS2 and Sun keyboard/mouse types.
Lightwave MatrixHub Broadcast Capability
Broadcast video signals to any or all destinations.
Lightwave MatrixHub Features
Video, Keyboard/Mouse and Serial are all contained in one rack-mountable chassis.
The System Status Display with electro-luminescence shows system diagnostics, redundant power supply status, and connection grid
Hot Swappable I/O Cards
Easy maintenance through front access makes hot-swapping the redundant power supplies easy
Modular design allows you to build your Matrix-Hub according to your application in increments of 5 ports per I/O card

Matrix-Hub Series 3000 - details & specifications
The Matrix-Hub is a multi-interface matrix switch for high performance graphic environments. It gives users the ability to route up to 30 different sources among 30 different destinations, in effect lowering the price-per-seat of high performance graphic workstations.
Lightwave's pioneering technology makes it a switch for the entire workstation. Route and switch video, keyboard, mice, and peripherals seamlessly while optimizing operational productivity.
Maximize cost-effectiveness and increase productivity
Enabling up to 30 users (destinations) to utilize up to 30 assets (sources) greatly reduces your price per seat investment. When coupled with Lightwave's patented Video Display Extension Kit the VDE/200, a versatile and highly flexible topology may be created. Full advantage may be taken of "multi-pipe" systems since the user is no longer captive to the room the computer is in. This maximizes the effectiveness of both creative and high performance computer assets.
Increasing networking options while increasing security
Control via a direct serial connection, over the network, or through a server
Direct video, keyboard/mouse, serial and audio to desired desktops without patching
Video Performance at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200
Controlling the Matrix-Hub
The Matrix-Hub is controlled through a serial (RS-232) port, either directly via a dumb terminal or remotely through a networked computer. User friendly menus and commands make controlling and programming simple. The Matrix-Hub allows for different levels of control, giving users a variety of access/control privileges.
Mixing Platforms on the Matrix-Hub
The Matrix-Hub supports multiple platforms within the same chassis. With the Matrix-Hub's user-friendly menus and programmability, administrators prevent the mixing of incompatible sources and destinations.
Broadcast Capability
Broadcast video and audio signals to any or all destinations.
Specifications of: Matrix Hub
The switch may be comprised of up to four rack-mounted chassis', each of which supports a unique user interface. These chassis'are for video, keyboard/mouse, serial peripherals, and audio. The chassis'may be used independently or integrated together to operate as one.
The Matrix-Hub may be configured according to customer needs in increments of 5 ports (input/source or output/destination). Additional ports may be added as needed up to the capacity of each chassis.
System Status Display - Electro-luminescent display shows system diagnostics, redundant power supplies status, and connection grid.
