BME settings

A

BME address switch — Each BME must be set to a unique address of 0

 

through 8. Address 9 is invalid. The addresses used in the system must be

 

sequential with no skipped numbers, other than as required for audio BMEs.

 

Audio BMEs occupy two BME addresses: the set address and the set address

 

plus 1 (for example, if the audio BME is set to address 3, it occupies addresses

 

3 and 4). Set the next BME after the audio BME to the address number plus 2

 

of the audio BME (for example, if the audio BME is set to address 3, set the

 

next BME to address 5).

 

Sync BMEs cannot be set to address 0.

 

To set the BME address, press the + and - buttons on the BME Address switch

 

on the rear panel of the switcher (figure 2-2).
