Installation of multiple BME system

Rack mount the switcher BMEs.

Step 1 — Numbering the BMEs

Each BME must be set to a unique address of 0 through 5.

BME address switch — To set the BME address, press the

+and - buttons on the BME Address switch on the rear panel of the switcher BMEs, as shown at right.

NAddresses 6 through 9 are invalid.

The addresses used in the system must be sequential with no skipped numbers.

Sync BMEs cannot be set to address 0

N BME 0 is the controlling unit. All control communications and front panel operations shuld be

made through BME 0 only.		X	T

Step 2 — Daisy chaining the BMEs

If the matrix switcher system consists of more than one BME, the BMEs must be connected together in a daisy chain using Extron-supplied RJ-45 cables.

BME COMM interconnect ports — Connect the first daisy chain from BME 0’s BME Comm Out connector to the nearest BME’s BME Comm In connector as shown at right. In a rack whose BMEs are arranged so that their physical location matches the BME address numbering, this would be BME 1. But since not all systems are configured alike, call this module BME n.

Connect the next RJ-45 cable from BME n’s BME Comm Out connector to the nearest unconnected BME’s (BME n+1’s) BME Comm In connector.

Continue connecting RJ-45 cables from each daisy-chained module’s BME Comm Out connector to the next module’s BME Comm In connector until all modules are included in the chain. When all of the BMEs are connected, each of the BMEs in the system is connected to at least one other BME via the BME Comm connectors.

Step 3 — Inputs

a. Video and sync BMEs — Connect a single plane of video or sync, as appropriate to the BME, to the BNC connectors on the video and sync BMEs for each input.

NEach BME supports one video or sync plane only. See figure 1-1 in chapter 1 for an example configuration.

b. Audio BME — Connect balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio inputs, as appropriate to the BME type, to the 5-pole (stereo) or 3-pole (mono) captive screw connectors.
