Adding a Video and/or an Audio BME
Matrix 3200/6400 Video BME(s) and/or a Matrix 6400 Audio BME may be installed in a rack with an existing Matrix 3200/6400 Video system, or in a different location. BMEs may be separated by up to 12 feet and rack mounting is NOT required. If the Video and/or Audio BME(s) are going to be rack mounted with other BMEs, they may be mounted in any order within a rack or cabinet. 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

•A BME with an FPC 1000 must be BME#0.
•Address assignments must not skip numbers.
•Address assignments of 0 - 5 are accepted, BMEs w/address
