3.2
Eclipse HX-PiCo matrix frame
A complete Eclipse HX system comprises an Eclipse HX matrix frame (such as the
Eclipse HX-PiCo) and the remote audio devices (such as User Panels, Interface
cards, Interface modules and Interface frames) connected to it.
Note:
The term central matrix is used to differentiate the system’s core hardware and
software from the connected intercom panels and interfaces. The central matrix
itself comprises the matrix frame and the EHX configuration software.
Chassis and assembly
The Eclipse HX-PiCo matrix frame is 19 inches wide and one rack unit (1RU) high
(26.9 cm x 48.3 cm). It installs to a standard Electronics Industry Association
equipment rack. No parts of the unit are removable without the matrix frame being
taken out of service.
The front panel of the Eclipse HX-PiCo provides controls (pushbuttons), indicator
lights, and a display for operating the system.
Note:
For more information, see 3.2.8 Eclipse HX-PiCo front panel controls and
lights.
The back panel holds the RJ-45 connectors (ports) for connecting user panels,
interface modules, interface frames, and other matrix frames to the system.
Note:
For more information, see 4 Connecting to external devices.
