Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 21)

• Matrices that link across cities, nations, or continents through trunk lines.
• Uses the same fiber-networking interface as the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix.
• Connection to FreeSpeak/CellCom antennas and splitters using the E-QUE interface
card.
• Connection to IP enabled V-Series panels and Concert users over IP networks using
the IVC-32 interface card.
• Audio level metering over IP networks using the LMC-64 interface card.
• Up to 64 duplex channels of AES3 audio over a coaxial cable or fiber pair using a
single E-MADI64 interface card.
• VOX-programmable audio, which visually cues you at the matrix when audio
transmits at a programmed threshold on a connected user panel or interface.
• Visual and intuitive EHX configuration software.
Ti
p: The number of interface cards that can be fitted to the matrix is limited by port count.
For more information, see 4.4.3 Combining interface cards in the frame.
3.2.4 CPU card
Two CPU cards are fitted to each Eclipse HX-Median system, in a master and slave
relationship. The second CPU card provides redundancy in the case of outages or planned
maintenance.
The master CPU card:
• Provides the serial data and Ethernet connection to the connected EHX PC.
• Coordinates the data flow between the other interface cards and modules in the
system, allowing them to communicate with each other.
• Stores up to four complete configurations, enabling the selection and activation of a
configuration directly from the card.
• Includes an additional, embedded configuration, which may be activated from the
card for fast fault checking after the installation or upgrade of the Eclipse HX system.
Tip: A configuration determines the operating parameters of the Eclipse HX matrix system,
including port functions, talk-and-listen audio routes, controls and other functions.
Configurations are created and managed in EHX, for download to the matrix frame(s). For
more information about EHX, see 3.5
EHX configuration software .
Note:
The cards slide vertically into the front of the matrix and connect to the backplane.
