Matrix 6400 Audio Switcher Installation

Extron recommends that the following steps be done in the order listed to install a Matrix 6400 Audio BME.

1.Installing the Matrix 6400 Audio BME. (Page 2-2)

2.Set the BME address numbers (0 - 5). (Page 2-3)

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

4.Connect the RS-232/RS-422 cable to BME #0’s serial port. (Page 2-3)

5.Connect the AC Power cable(s) to the BME(s). (Page 2-3)

6.Apply AC power to the BMEs and Verify Normal Power-Up. (Page 2-3)

7.Load the Matrix 1000 System Virtualization/ Control Software. (Page 2-4)

8.Virtualize the Matrix 3200/6400 switcher/ system if required. (Page 3-2)

9.Matrix 6400 Audio Input/Output Cabling. (Page 2-5)

The numbered procedures that follow match the steps above.

1. Installing the Matrix 6400 Audio BME

The Matrix 6400 Audio BME may be a stand- alone audio 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 (with Matrix 6400 Audio BME at top) would be set to 0 - 5 sequentially from top to bottom, however, a different order is acceptable and will not impact system operation in any way.

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.
