5. Connect the RS-232/RS-422 cable to the serial port of BME #0. (Page 2-2)
6. Connect the AC Power cable(s) to the BME(s). (Page 2-2)
7. Apply AC power to the BMEs and Verify Normal Power-Up. (Page 2-2)
8. Do the steps under "After Hardware Changes" on Page 5-12.
9. Connect cables to BMEs (video, sync and/or audio cables). (Page 2-4)
The procedure for adding a Video and/or an Audio BME follows.
Matrix 3200/6400 Video BME(s) and/or a Matrix 6400 Audio BME may be
installed in a rack with an existing Matrix 3200/6400 Video system, or in a
different location. BMEs may be separated by up to 12 feet and rack mounting is
NOT required. If the Video and/or Audio BME(s) are going to be rack mounted
with other BMEs, they may be mounted in any order within a rack or cabinet.
There are no restrictions to the order in which BMEs may be mounted relative to
each other. Logically, the BME addresses in a system such as the one shown in
Figure 5-10.A would be set to 0 - 5 sequentially from top to bottom, however, a
different order is acceptable and will not impact system operation in any way.
Equipment location within a room should be given careful consideration. Poor
planning, with the number of cables involved, could result in a cluttered
appearance. Power requirements and
the amount of heat exhaust from the system should be taken into consideration.
The following restrictions apply to installing BMEs.
One BME must be assigned as BME#0.
A BME with an FPC 1000 must be BME#0.
Address assignments must not skip numbers.
Address assignments of 0 - 5 are accepted, BMEs w/address 6-9 are ignored.
A Matrix 3200/6400 Video system is limited to a maximum of 3 Video and one
Audio BME(s).
See Page 2-1 for other BME restrictions.
