Peavey PageMatrix - Manual (Page 5)

1 . I n t r o d u c t i o n
Congratulations on wisely choosing the PageMatrix ª system for your current and future paging
projects. Used in conjunction with our highly-acclaimed MediaMatrix ¨ digital audio system,
PageMatrix provides an integrated and flexible approach to all serious paging applications.
MediaMatrix serves as the central processing unit for an entire project, controlling the entire system
from signal routing to managing the paging system. The PageMatrix system provides multiple
paging stations that are easily configured to just about any page/zone requirement. Plus, these
paging stations are portable, meaning that the wall plug/port contains the identity of the paging
station connected to it.
The PageMatrix hardware components include the 2-rack space PageMatrix Controller and three
types of paging stations. The PageMatrix controller supports up to 16 paging stations in any
combination and connects to MediaMatrix Break Out Boxes (BoBs) for audio and to the MediaMatrix
frameÕs RS-232 serial port for control data. Three paging stations are available including the Station
Four-W
ª Wall Mount, Station Four ª Desktop, and Station Ten ª Desktop.
The software components include:
▲ PageMatrix Software
▲ MediaMatrix view files
▲ MediaMatrix PASHA ª paging files (corresponds to the appropriate view file)
The PageMatrix application provides a graphical way to program the zone preset buttons of each
attached station. Once the configuration is finalized, it is simply downloaded to the PageMatrix
Controller for operation. It is not necessary to access the PageMatrix application again until the time
comes to update the configuration.
