  • Page 37: Multi-Matrix Configurations

    AD2096A Alarm Interface Unit, can be included in a system. Mode 2 Configuration A Mode 2 configuration has a primary matrix and a maximum of four secondary units, with 12 monitor outputs from each secondary matrix connected to 12 video inputs on the primary matrix.

  • Page 38: Mechanical Installation Of Multiple Matrices

    In a multi-matrix system, matrices can be connected together via Ethernet. All ethernet connections should be made with Cat 5 twisted pair cable with a maximum length of 300 feet. If longer connections are required, hubs and repeaters are available.
  • Page 39 In a multi-matrix system with more than two matrices, matrices must be connected together via a network switch as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to use a true network switch rather than a hub as a switch only sends data to the relevant port connection while a hub will copy the data to all ports.

    In all following sections, the maximum number of trunk video connections are shown and by connecting in this manner, the maximum number of full cross point switched monitor outputs can be achieved. It should be noted that if the number of full cross point switched monitor outputs is lower, only this number of trunk video connections need to be made.
  • Page 41 Mode 1: Primary Matrix with 2 Secondary Matrices Consult the figure below in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. The 16 monitor outputs from each secondary matrix must be connected to 16 video inputs on the primary matrix. Sixteen full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-16 on the primary matrix.
  • Page 42 Mode 1: Primary Matrix with 3 Secondary Matrices Consult the figure below in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. The 16 monitor outputs from each secondary matrix must be connected to 16 video inputs on the primary matrix. Sixteen full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-16 on the primary matrix.

  • Page 43: Mode 2 Configurations

    Mode 2: Primary Matrix with 1 Secondary Matrix Consult the figure below in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. Monitor outputs 4-15 from the secondary matrix must be connected to video inputs 1-12 on the primary matrix.
  • Page 44 8 video inputs on the primary matrix. Eight full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-8 on the primary matrix. Monitors can also be connected to monitor outputs 1-7 on each secondary matrix. These monitors can display video inputs from that secondary unit only.
  • Page 45 Installation Manual Consult the figure below in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. Monitor outputs 8-15 from each secondary matrix must be connected to 8 video inputs on the primary matrix. Eight full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-8 on the primary matrix.
  • Page 46 Mode 3: Primary Matrix with 5 or 6 Secondary Matrices Consult the figures on page 52 and 53 in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. Monitor outputs 8-15 from each secondary matrix must be connected to 8 video inputs on the primary matrix.

  • Page 47: Mode 3 Configurations

    Keyboard and Port Expander Connection Keyboards can be connected to any RS232 port in a multi-matrix system. Therefore, in a Mode 3 configuration with six secondary matrices, up to 56 keyboards can be connected (without using port expanders). Any of these keyboards can be used to control any component in the system—keyboards connected to a secondary matrix are NOT limited to...

  • Page 48: Megapower Tm

    The use of port expanders is also supported in multi-matrix systems, enabling up to four keyboards to be connected to any one RS232 port. This means up to 32 keyboards can be connected to any matrix, and that in a Mode 3 configuration with six secondary matrices, up to 224 keyboards can be connected.
  • Page 49 An AD2096A Alarm Interface Unit (AIU) can be connected to any RS232 port in a multi-matrix system. Each AD2096A can be connected with up to 64 alarm contacts, and a maximum of eight units can be connected to the system (i.e., maximum 512 RS232 alarm inputs).
