A bus is the channel or path between the components in the matrix along which electrical signals flow to carry information from one component to the next. In the Eclipse matrix the bus is located in the etched surface of the midplane. Call signal A call signal is an electronic signal sent from one panel or interface to another.
Page 185 Duplex All real-time communication between individuals talking face to face is full duplex, meaning that they can both talk and listen simultaneously. The Eclipse matrices provide full-duplex audio. ECS is the Eclipse configuration software. ECS guides the operation of the matrix circuit cards and connected panels.
Page 186 V-Series Panels| User Guide Term Definition Announcers usually wear a small ear piece so they can hear the selected foldback audio mix. When a director wants to give directions to an announcer on air, or to announce changes in the program, the director must interrupt the foldback.
Page 187 The device to which audio is sent is called a destination. In the Eclipse / Eclipse HX system, when audio at a panel exceeds a threshold, a light switches on at the panel’s port card to visually cue the operator. The threshold level is set in the ECS / EHX configuration software.
