4. CONTROL PANELS
All control panels connect to the matrix in point to point topology. Each panel utilises a single
matrix port, although expansion panels may be connected to a single “master” panel using
the expansion in and expansion out connectors fitted on the rear of the panel. Two standard
panels may be linked together, for example to provide 48 keys for an operator, but only
utilising a single matrix port. A series of additional connectors provide the following facilities,
on the panel types indicated in the table.
