The Lightware MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi Series includes two professional 24×24 matrix switchers designed for uncompromised 4K UHD video routing in mission-critical AV environments. Both models combine 12 HDMI 2.0 and 12 DisplayPort 1.2 inputs into 24 HDMI 2.0 outputs, supporting 4K60 4:4:4, HDR, Dolby Vision, Advanced EDID Management, and Pixel Accurate Reclocking. Built for reliability, they feature dual redundant PowerCON connectors and reinforced I/O ports for continuous 24/7 operation.

The lineup includes two variants: 

• MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-R: Base model with redundant PSU
• MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-A-R: Same as the base model, with additional configurable audio outputs (8 HDMI-embedded, 4 DisplayPort-embedded, and 8 independent analogue audio outs) for advanced AV integration.

Key Features

• Mixed Connectivity: 12 HDMI 2.0 and 12 DisplayPort 1.2 inputs with 24 HDMI 2.0 outputs.
• 4K UHD Video: Up to 4096×2160@60Hz with RGB 4:4:4 colour sampling.
• HDR & Dolby Vision: High Dynamic Range video with vibrant colours and contrast.
• Audio Options (A-R model only): 8 HDMI + 4 DP embedded audio and 8 analogue audio outputs.
• High Reliability: Dual redundant Neutrik PowerCON True1 power supplies.
• Pixel Accurate Reclocking: Ensures stable, jitter-free video across all ports.
• Advanced EDID Management: Guarantees compatibility between sources and displays.
• Flexible Control: RS-232, Ethernet, USB, front-panel keys, and WebGUI.
• Professional Build: 4RU rack-mount chassis with front-to-back cooling airflow.

Application Examples

MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-R

MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-A-R

FOH video routing: Route 12× HDMI and 12× DP sources (laptops, media servers, cameras) to LED walls, projectors, and monitors with zero-frame delay switching. Corporate overflow: Send VC codec and PC signals to multiple auditoriums and overflow rooms while maintaining full 4K60 HDR fidelity. Divisible spaces: Provide 24×24 routing flexibility for combined/separated meeting or event spaces; controlled via web GUI or front panel. Ops/NOC monitoring: Route mixed HDMI/DP workstation outputs into control room video walls with non-blocking crosspoint switching. Rental staging: Rugged 4RU steel chassis, redundant PowerCON PSU, and front-to-rear cooling make it ideal for live event touring where reliability is key.

Conference audio integration: Embed or de-embed HDMI/DP audio to analog Phoenix I/O for DSPs, amplifiers, or assistive listening systems. Live event playback: Route embedded HDMI/DP audio from media servers to both PA system and displays simultaneously. Training & capture: Use 8 independent analogue audio outputs to feed recorders, streaming encoders, or language interpretation systems. Hybrid meeting rooms: Combine video switching with analog audio I/O for BYOD devices, VC codecs, and sound reinforcement. Broadcast/streaming workflows: De-embed program audio from routed video feeds directly into mixers, while maintaining 4K60 video paths to encoders.

Scenario	Recommended Model	Why
Touring / live shows with strict uptime requirements	MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-R	Redundant PowerCON PSU, 4RU steel chassis, and active cooling make it robust for mission-critical live event use where pure video routing is sufficient.
Corporate divisible rooms (video only)	MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-R	24×24 non-blocking crosspoint handles flexible HDMI/DP routing; simple integration without added audio complexity.
Conference rooms with DSP or assistive listening	MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-A-R	8 analogue audio outputs allow integration with DSPs, recorders, or assistive listening systems alongside 4K60 video switching.
Hybrid meetings / VC integration	MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-A-R	Embed/de-embed HDMI + DP audio for routing VC codecs, BYOD laptops, and room audio into a unified system.
Broadcast / streaming workflows	MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-A-R	De-embed program audio directly into mixers or encoders while maintaining 4K60 HDR video feeds to cameras and streaming systems.
Ops/NOC video walls	MX2-24x24-DH-12DPi-R	Reliable HDMI/DP routing for workstation and monitoring sources; redundant PSU ensures continuous operation.
