Lightware Alternative — From Fixed Matrix to Scalable IP Routing

Fixed 4K matrices are brilliant until the room grows past the frame. The ADHOOPU alternative delivers the same pixel-fidelity mindset over IP: add endpoints as rooms grow, no chassis-size ceiling, no forklift upgrade.

Why Buyers Switch

No Frame-Size Ceiling

Fixed matrices lock you to input/output counts at purchase. ADHOOPU scales by adding 1GbE endpoints — 8 sources today, 40 next year, same platform.

Pixel Fidelity

Low-latency H.265/H.264 encoding preserves 4K60 quality for live sources; sub-frame glass-to-glass latency on encoder/decoder units keeps interactivity natural.

Hybrid Topologies

Keep existing HDMI extenders where they work and add IP endpoints where growth happens — both connect to the same platform for unified switching.

Matrix Role Included

The QG-1169 platform carries routing, multiview, DSP and control internally — replacing the matrix chassis, the wall processor and the control box in one move.

3-Year Warranty

Three years on every endpoint and platform, versus base regional terms on fixed hardware.

Service Without Downtime

Endpoints hot-swap over the network: a failed unit is replaced and re-registered in minutes, not a chassis swap in a live room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we start small and grow?

Yes — a 4x4 deployment and a 40x40 deployment use the same platform and endpoints; growth is additive, not a re-purchase.

Do we lose video quality versus a fixed crossbar?

For live 4K60 sources the encoder line is tuned for near-lossless interactive latency; for the most critical pixel-perfect audit needs, request the project evaluation with your actual sources.

Does it work with our existing HDMI extenders?

Yes — extender outputs land on platform inputs like any source, mixing old and new hardware in one switching layer.

The Lightware Alternative That Grows With the Room

ADHOOPU is the Lightware alternative for facilities that outgrow fixed matrices: the same commitment to 4K60 fidelity, delivered over scalable IP routing with no chassis ceiling, wall processing and DSP included, and a 3-year warranty. Request a growth-plan configuration for your site.
