More ports can be utilized on the Eclipse HX-Median by using higher capacity
interface cards, such as the E-MADI64 card. For example, if you installed 5 E-
MADI64 cards, using 64 audio ports, you could add a further 2 MVX-A16 cards.
(5 E-MADI64 cards * 64 ports) + (2 MVX * 16 ports) = 352
If you fitted 4 IVC-32 cards, using 96 ports, you could add 3 more MVX-A16
cards:
(4 IVC-32 cards * 32 ports) + (3 MVX cards * 16 ports) = 176
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 on the right of the matrix frame, and
fitting MVX-A16, IVC-32, E-MADI64, E-QUE E1/T1 direct cards on the left of the
frame, 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 496
in System Preferences (for more information, see your EHX documentation).
4.4.4 Static sensitivity
A CPU / interface card’s components include CMOS chips that are sensitive to
static electricity. Before touching a card first touch a grounded metal object,
such as any unpainted surface on the matrix, to dissipate static electricity. When
handling a card, be careful not to bend any of the card’s connector pins or
component leads.
Store spare cards in electrically insulated packaging, such as anti-static heavy
duty plastic bags or in unused card slots (though not fully seated) in the matrix.
