SIDEFRAMING
If more than 256 video inputs are required, multiple matrix bays must be installed in a sideframe configuration. Sideframing allows the video outputs of a bay to be connected to the video inputs of another bay to which the video output devices (for example, monitors, VCRs, and so on) are connected. The bay to which the video output devices are connected is referred to as the output bay. A maximum of eight matrix bays can be sideframed and connected to an output bay.
As viewed from the rear of the matrix bays, Figure 56 illustrates one bay sideframed to an output bay for a total of up to 496 video inputs and 16 video outputs.
