Event Manager
Event Manager is a smart, built-in, added value room control feature in the Lightware HDBaseT™ compatible TPS extender family, the MODEX line and in most Lightware matrix switchers like the MMX6x2-HT series units. The feature is available through the freely downloadable Lightware Device Controller software.
All the Control You Need is Already Built-In
Event Manager can perform a selectable action when a predefined condition is detected. A detected event is called Condition, and the response is called Action. This application tool handles tasks ranging from simple to expert ones, such as any condition changes on the media ports, like a new source being connected or removed, controlling the rolling shutter, the air conditioning system, or the lights in a collaboration space.
The Event Manager application is continuously updated with additional room control features via firmware upgrades. The system can also recognize infrared commands, which can be set as conditions, and commands can also be sent via Ethernet. Event Manager saves time, cost, and installation space, making Lightware equipment the optimal choice in a variety of configurations.

The UMX-TPSTX140 switcher, controlled remotely via a GPIO-connected button panel, allows input switching even when mounted under a desk. Pressing an input button switches the port and turns on the projector.
