Installation Overview
The Matrix 12800 BMEs that make up a Matrix 12800 system can be installed in a
rack or a cabinet, if desired. Each BME must be connected on a daisy chain to the
other BMEs in the system and cannot be separated from the other BMEs by more
than 25 feet (7.6 m). The BMEs can be rack- or cabinet-mounted in any order.
Give careful consideration to the location of the equipment in a room. Poor
planning will result in problems. The number of cables involved can result in a
cluttered appearance. Power and ventilation requirements are a consideration.
Although a BME is not noisy by itself, the background noise generated by a rack of
Matrix 12800 switchers could be distracting.
The following restrictions apply to installing BMEs:

One BME must be assigned the address of BME 0.
A sync switcher cannot be BME 0.
Address assignments must be sequential and may not skip numbers, with the
exception of the BME sequentially after the audio BME.
An audio BME uses two virtual address, but is physically assigned a single
number. For example, an audio BME at physical address 5 occupies virtual
addresses 5 and 6. A subsequent BME should be set to physical address 7.
Address assignments of 0 through 8 are valid; a BME that is assigned address
9 is ignored.
A system is limited to one or two audio BMEs.
Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the video source(s)
(such as computers or DVD players), and the devices that will receive the
matrix-switched video and/or audio.
Rack mount the switcher, if desired.
Set the BME addresses.
Connect the BME COMM interconnecting cables.
Connect the serial cable(s) to BME 0's RS-232/RS-422 port(s) and to the PC(s)
or control system(s).
Connect the AC power cables to the BMEs.
Printed circuit boards can become dislodged from their edge connectors during
shipment. Reseat all I/O and controller circuit boards before initial power up.
Reseat all circuit boards. See chapter 6, Upgrades and Maintenance.
Apply AC power to the BMEs and verify the BMEs power up normally.
Load the Matrix 128000 System Virtualization Control software (see chapter 3,
Virtualization/Control Software).
Virtualize the Matrix 12800 system if required (see chapter 3, Virtualization/
Control Software).
Connect all input and output cabling to the Matrix 12800 system.
Connect all desired remote control panels and remote keypads and connect
the switcher to the Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN), if desired.
Set the sync termination switches, if desired.
If using the Ethernet capability, initialize the Internet protocol (IP) parameters.
See chapter 3, Virtualization/Control Software.
