The drawing above shows the layout of the input and output video circuit card
connectors on the inside of the Matrix 6400 Wideband Video Switcher rear
panel. The chart below shows the REQUIRED circuit card population for every
possible matrix configuration. If the cards are not installed as shown for each
matrix size, the Matrix 6400 System Virtualization/Control software will be
unable to accurately virtualize the system. The Input Video circuit cards
(part #20-213-00) plug into connectors
JC1 - JC16, the Output Video circuit
cards (part #20-214-00) plug into
connectors JD1 - JD8. The
connectors are keyed and it is not
possible to plug an input card into
an output connector or an output
card into an input connector.
For example, a matrix 32x8 will
have 2-input video cards in
connectors JC1 and JC5, and
1-output video card in connector
JD1. To upgrade this example
system to a matrix 64x16, plug
2-input video cards into
connectors JC9 and JC13, and
1-output video card into
connector JD2.
A second example is a matrix
32x32 which would have 4-input
video cards in JC1, JC2, JC5 and
JC6, and 4-output video cards in
JD1, JD2, JD3 and JD4. To
upgrade to a matrix 64x64, plug 12-
input video cards into JC3, JC4,
JC7, JC8 and JC9 - JC16, and 4-
output cards into JD6 - JD8.
