Here’s the World’s First UC-over-IP System

UC-over-IP

Bridging our Taurus and our AV-over-IP TPN solutions, this innovation combines Taurus features with the flexibility of SDVoE, bringing the seamless BYOM experience to meeting rooms of any size.

Versatile Connectivity for Any Space

Ideal for professional spaces, the Taurus TPN offers robust connectivity and superior video distribution, making it perfect for conference rooms, control centers, and larger boardrooms needing a UC-over-IP solution.

Supporting 5K

The Lightware Taurus product family now delivers flawless switching for 5K 21:9 ultrawide displays, unlocking a new level of visual performance for modern meeting and control environments.

Why 5K Matters:

Optimized for Microsoft Teams Front Row's layout and other collaboration platforms
More screen real estate for design, data, and multi-window workflows
Uncompressed HDMI 2.0 video connection with ultra-low latency
Perfect for simulation, engineering, broadcast, and executive boardrooms

Upgrade to Taurus and power the future of visual communication - ultrawide, ultra-clear.

Built with Versatility in Mind

Comprehensive USB-C and SDVoE Integration: Combines full USB-C functionality with SDVoE technology, delivering versatile connectivity and high-performance video distribution.

HDMI 2.0 4K@60 4:4:4 Matrix Switching: Supports matrix switching of HDMI 2.0 signals at 4K@60Hz, ensuring exceptional video quality over a 10G network.

Dedicated USB 2.0 Matrix Switching Layer: Operates independently to support multiple USB devices, including webcams, microphones, and touch screens.

Automated and Manual Switching Options: Offers both automated and user-controlled switching through intuitive interfaces, allowing flexible and easy operation.

Remote System Logging (Syslog): Taurus devices now support remote system logging via industry-standard Syslog protocols (RFC3164 and RFC5424).

With Taurus TPN we can create an ecosystem of devices that are networked – it just doesn’t matter how many devices exactly: we can send signals and data anywhere we want.

Scalable system

The Taurus TPN supports various resolutions, and both the system and its outputs are scalable.

Open API

Provides open, intuitive API protocols, enhancing networked solutions with seamless native USB 2.0 integration.

Flexible Room Workflows Over 10G

Taurus TPN endpoints bring flexible signal access and collaboration workflows to meeting rooms by combining UCX-TPN transmitters at user desks with HDMI-TPN receivers at displays, carrying video, USB-C, USB 2.0, and LAN signals over a shared 10G AV-over-IP network. This enables seamless BYOD, BYOM, and peripheral sharing within the room without dedicated point-to-point cabling.

 With the MMU in place, these endpoints are discovered and managed as a single room system. The MMU applies consistent settings and enables fast routing between laptops, room PCs, displays, and USB peripherals, allowing common room scenarios shown in the diagram to be handled centrally, without reconfiguring individual devices.

USB-C meets 10G AV-over-IP

Full-featured USB-C room workflows combined with SDVoE-based 10G transport, built for modern collaboration and flexible signal access.

Bidirectional USB over the network

Send AV to the network and receive USB back, ideal for peripheral sharing and room-to-room workflows without local PC constraints.

Multi-input room switching

Mix USB-C and HDMI sources in the room and deliver them as a single TPN stream, clean, consistent system design for integrators.

Seamless switching & scaling ready

SR receiver options add fast switching and scaling, helping you standardize outputs across mixed displays and room types.

USB 2.0 extender integration

USB2.0 device-side extenders can be integrated into the TPN system, expanding peripheral connectivity where it’s needed.

Room automation with LARA

Add advanced control and automation via the TPN-MMU-X100-20 running LARA, turn endpoints into a managed, operational room system.

Simplify Room Automation with LARA

Lightware Advanced Room Automation: Configure and automate meeting spaces, no programming skills required, and coding is optional too.

Unify All TPN Endpoints into One AV-over‑IP System

The Matrix Management Unit (MMU) connects the different TPN endpoint families into a single, coherent AV-over-IP system. With the MMU in place, Taurus TPN, HDMI-TPN, and OPTN endpoints work together on the same SDVoE network, rather than operating as separate, isolated device groups.

The MMU provides one interface to discover devices, apply system-wide settings, and perform SDVoE video switching across mixed endpoint types. This allows systems to be designed and operated as one unified platform-simplifying commissioning and ensuring consistent, predictable real-time AV operation across the entire deployment.

Go to TPN MMU

Centralized system visibility

All connected TPN and OPTN endpoints are automatically discovered and presented in one structured overview, making complex systems easier to understand, document, and maintain.

Consistent configuration at scale

Key system settings can be prepared and applied centrally, ensuring consistent behavior across rooms and reducing setup time during commissioning and system changes.

Integrated SDVoE video switching

With the MMU in place, a standard 10G network becomes a virtual matrix, enabling deterministic, low-latency SDVoE video routing without external controllers or custom logic.

Designed for integrators and IT environments

By adding structure, transparency, and a clear management layer, the MMU helps AV-over-IP systems align more naturally with IT-managed networks and operational workflows.

Validated 10G Networking

TPN systems are built on SDVoE technology, where network quality directly defines AV performance. Through its collaboration with NETGEAR, Lightware delivers pre-validated 10G AV Line switching solutions tailored for TPN environments. By combining Lightware’s AV system expertise with NETGEAR’s AV-optimized networking platform, the solution ensures tested interoperability, stable multicast handling, and deterministic real-time performance across all TPN endpoints, enabling TPN systems to operate as a reliable virtual matrix over standard 10G infrastructure, while reducing deployment risk and accelerating commissioning.
