Page 3: What You Receive
It works with ClearOne CONVERGE products through CONNECT Dante interface products and other 3rd party Dante enabled products. WHat YOU reCeiVe When you receive your CONVERGE Matrix, please check to be sure all components are in good order. If you have concerns contact your ClearOne representative. CONVERGE Matrix... -
Page 4: Connections
These are not compatible with CONVERGE Pro Expansion buses. exPansiOn Cards The CONVERGE Matrix main unit can be expanded to double its Dante channels by adding a corresponding Expansion card. A main unit can only receive an expansion of identical size. -
Page 5: Expansion Card Installation
There is no need to send a CONVERGE Matrix back to ClearOne to add the expansion card, this can be done on-site by the system integrator. 1. Power off the main unit. 2. On the back of the unit, loosen the thumb screws and remove the card guide cover. -
Page 6: Usb Connection
UsB COnneCtiOn If the Ethernet port is not used to connect the PC running CONVERGE Matrix Console to the unit, a USB port is provided at the front of the unit for this connection. USB Port » Note: the Locate button (appearing as a “C” with a dot in the middle, is for future use. -
Page 7: Converge Matrix Console
COnVerGe Matrix Console A software solution file defining all the connections must be pushed down to the CONVERGE Matrix to enable the system to control all connections. These solutions are created using the CONVERGE Matrix Console. Changes or additions to the solution are also performed in the console, then... -
Page 8: Creating A Solution File
• recent - History of connections to CONVERGE Matrix units. • discovered on current lan subnet - CONVERGE Matrix Console examines the subnet it is attached to and lists the powered-on CONVERGE Matrix units it finds. Any units attached to the Console computer’s USB connections are also found. - Page 9 These can be customized or left at default. After Clicking OK a solution file is created in CONVERGE Matrix Console. You are taken to the system>Home page underneath edit File with information about the solution file you are creating.

Page 10: Setting Up Resources
The resources area under edit File allows you to create channel groups, macros, timers, GPIO labels, and channel labels. This includes the microphone inputs and outputs. Dante-based inputs and outputs are not created in the CONVERGE Matrix, but are used by the CONVERGE Matrix for grouping, switching, macros, and other operations. -
Page 11: Channel Groups
hannel roupS Channel Groups provide a way to group analog inputs/outputs and Dante Channels into logically named groups for easier control and routing. Select to create an input or output group, enter a group name, and then select the mics or outputs for the group by clicking on the square below the mic/output. -
Page 12: Macro Commands
The GPIO port allows the CONVERGE Matrix to label signals on port control pins and the status pins. This allows Event Actions along with Serial Commands to be used to manage the unit. Serial Commands are detailed in a separate CONVERGE Matrix Serial Command Guide. The GPIO screen shows the pin assignments and names, along with a naming tool. -
Page 13: Timers
The timers tab allows you to create various timers for the CONVERGE Matrix that can be one time or repeating at specified dates and intervals. Timers are used to or run presets or macros at given times in the future. For example if you wanted the system to have a morning ‘startup’ configuration. - Page 14 The inputs and outputs can be adjusted individually or combined as ad-hock groups to allow you to quickly change the settings on multiple channels. To create an ad-hock group click on at least one channel and then use the Control key on your keyboard and the mouse to select individual channels or use the Shift key to select all channels between.

Page 15: Matrix Tab
atrix The Configuration Matrix screen is where all routing takes place. Groups of channels and individual channels can be routed and saved with a configuration. Outputs appear along the top of the matrix while inputs appear along the left side. Clicking on the intersection of an input and output sets a crosspoint connection. -
Page 16: Filter View
ilter Filter view is helpful when configuring the channel matrix by eliminating/hiding/removing/ extraneous crosspoints and only showing relevant crosspoints thereby simplifying the channel matrix. From the Matrix screen, select the Filter View button. You are given the Filter dialog box to define your filtered view. -
Page 17: Event Action Tab
The Event Action screen is where commands can be created that run automatically when a control pin or status pin change as defined on the GPIO port or a CONVERGE Matrix event occurs. Clicking on the Pencil icon by a designated control pin or status pin opens a command editor to create the action that is to follow as that control pin activates High or Low. -
Page 18: Creating Presets
The solution created in the Console program at this point exists only in the program memory and must be saved for subsequent use, editing, and for pushing to a CONVERGE Matrix switch. Using the save button at the top of the Console screen saves the solution under it’s current name. -
Page 19: Connecting To Converge Matrix And Pushing A Solution
Connecting to COnVerGe Matrix and Pushing a solution Once a configuration solution file is created and saved, you can connect to a device via Ethernet or USB to push the file into the device. deViCe disCOVerY Available devices are detected by the Console program and will show up on the “Discovered on current LAN”... -
Page 20: Pushing A Solution
PUsHinG a sOlUtiOn Once connected to a default device, you must push a valid solution file to the unit. Click on the admin control at the side of the display. » Note: edit and edit File will be grayed out until the device has a valid file. You will be allowed to select the Solution file to push, then you will observe an indication of the file being sent. -
Page 21: Editing A Live Configuration
editinG a liVe COnFiGUratiOn With a valid solution pushed to the unit, you can now continue to edit the live configuration using the edit control to make adjustments. The distinction between editing the current solution on the device and editing the file saved to the computer is shown by a border around the “live” controls. As you make changes, they are saved separately to ensure the original configuration is not lost. -
Page 22: Synchronizing The Converge Matrix
REDUNDANT Matrix Unit Set ID Switch to 1 The redundant unit configuration will be added in the future release of the CONVERGE Matrix Console Software. Currently it can be performed by Serial commands. Details of this operation are included in the CONVERGE Matrix Serial Command Guide. -
