Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 36)

More ports can be utilized on the Eclipse HX-Delta by using higher capacity interface cards,
such as the E-MADI64 card. For example, if you installed 3 E-MADI64 cards, using 64 audio
ports, you could add one more MVX-A16 card.
(3 E-MADI64 cards * 64 ports) + (1 MVX * 16 ports) = 208
If you fitted 3 IVC-32 cards, you could add 1 more MVX-A16 card:
(3 IVC-32 cards * 32 ports) + (1 MVX card * 16 ports) = 112
LMC-64 cards take a port per meter. LMC-64 cards are configured in EHX to 16, 32, 48 or
64 audio meters and the same numbers of ports are allocated at that time.
When an audio level meter is configured using Production Maestro Pro one of the ports
allocated to the LMC-64 card is used. If the same audio level meter is being used by more
than one Production Maestro Pro client this does not increase the port usage as the audio
level data is broadcast.
E-FIB cards use a port per channel. E-FIB cards can be configured to use between 16 and
192 ports.
E-QUE wireless cards (if not directly connected) use six ports per antenna.
E-QUE cards have 60 ports in E1 mode or 48 ports in T1 mode.
Recommendation
Clear-Com recommends fitting E-FIB cards to the lower slots on the matrix, and fitting
MVX-A16, IVC-32, E-MADI64, E-QUE E1/T1 direct cards to the upper slots on the matrix,
where possible.
Note:
Comfort tones use 3 ports which normally default to using the top of the physical port range.
If required, the comfort tones can be redirected to ports above 384 in
System Preferences (for more information, see your EHX documentation).
