Introduction
Matrix 6400 Audio Switcher Installation
Extron recommends that the following steps be done in the order listed to install a
Matrix 6400 Audio BME.
1. Installing the Matrix 6400 Audio BME. (Page 2-2)
2. Set the BME address numbers (0 - 5). (Page 2-3)
3. Connect the BME COMM interconnecting
cable(s). (Page 2-3)
4. Connect the RS-232/RS-422 cable to BME
#0’s serial port. (Page 2-3)
5. Connect the AC Power cable(s) to the
BME(s). (Page 2-3)
6. Apply AC power to the BMEs and Verify
Normal Power-Up. (Page 2-3)
7. Load the Matrix 1000 System Virtualization/
Control Software. (Page 2-4)
8. Virtualize the Matrix 3200/6400 switcher/
system if required. (Page 3-2)
9. Matrix 6400 Audio Input/Output Cabling.
(Page 2-5)
The numbered procedures that follow match the
steps above.
1. Installing the Matrix 6400 Audio BME
The Matrix 6400 Audio BME may be a stand-
alone audio switcher or it may be part of a Matrix
6400/3200 System. In either case it may be
installed in a rack. If it is part of a Matrix 6400/
3200 System, BMEs may be separated by up to 12
feet and rack mounting is NOT required. If the
BMEs are to be rack mounted, they may mounted
in any order within a rack or cabinet. The limiting
factor is the BME COMM interconnecting cable
length which is 12 feet maximum. 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 2-1.A (with Matrix 6400 Audio BME at
top) 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.
The location of the equipment 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.
