Matrix 3200/6400Video Switcher Installation

Extron recommends that the following steps be done in the order listed to install a

Matrix 3200/6400 Video BME.

1.Installing the Matrix 3200/6400 Video BME. (Page 2-1)

2.Set the BME address numbers (0 - 5). (Page 2-2)

3.Connect the BME COMM interconnecting cable(s). (Page 2-2)

4.Connect the RS-232/RS-422 cable to BME #0’s serial port. (Page 2-2)

5.Connect the external vertical interval sync cables (Page 2-2)

6.Connect the AC Power cable(s) to the BME(s). (Page 2-2)

7.Apply AC power to the BMEs and Verify Normal Power-Up. (Page 2-2)

8.Load the Matrix 1000 System Virtualization/Control Software. (Page 2-3)

9.Virtualize the Matrix 3200/6400 switcher/system if required. (Page 3-1)

The numbered procedures that follow match the steps above.

1. Installing the Matrix 3200/6400 Video BME

The Matrix 3200/6400 Video BME may be a stand- alone video switcher or it may be part of a Matrix 6400/3200 System. In either case it may be installed in a rack. If it is part of a Matrix 6400/3200 System, BMEs may be separated by up to 12 feet and rack mounting is NOT required. If the BMEs are to be rack mounted, they may mounted in any order within a rack or cabinet. The limiting factor is the BME COMM interconnecting cable length which is 12 feet maximum. There are no restrictions to the order in which BMEs may be mounted relative to each other. Logically, the BME addresses in a system such as the one shown in Figure 2-1.A

(3 Matrix 3200/6400 Video BMEs above a Matrix 6400 Audio BME) would be set to 0 - 3 sequentially from top to bottom, however, a different order is acceptable and will not impact system operation in any way (see restrictions below).

The location of the equipment within a room should be given careful consideration. Poor planning, with the number of cables involved, could result in a cluttered appearance. Power requirements and the amount of heat exhaust from the system should be taken into consideration.

The following restrictions apply to installing BMEs.

One BME must be assigned as BME #0.

BME #0 cannot be a Sync module.

A BME with an FPC 1000 Front Panel Controller must be BME #0.

Address assignments must not skip numbers.

Address assignments of 0 - 5 are accepted, BMEs w/address 6-9 are ignored.

A system is limited to one audio module.

A system may NOT include both Wideband video and Low Resolution video modules.
