1.3.2 Eclipse HX configuration software (EHX)
The Eclipse HX configuration software (EHX) controls the operation of the system’s
connected audio devices, using a configuration (sometimes called a configuration map)
that has been downloaded to the matrix.
The system is designed in a star configuration, in which each member of the system
connects directly to the matrix rather than to each other. Audio signals are routed through
the central matrix and out to the connected audio devices in accordance with the
configuration created in EHX.
EHX can also be used to monitor the matrix for faults and to log errors for analysis.
The EHX software comprises a graphical user interface with a main screen that is divided
into two parts:
• The Menu pane – This is located on the left of the EHX main screen. It contains
the System, Hardware, Configuration and Diagnostics drop-down menu lists.
• The System pane – This is located on the right of the EHX main screen. It
contains a graphical representation of the matrices that are present in the system.
1.3.3 Setting up an Eclipse HX matrix system
The following procedure shows the basic steps for setting up an Eclipse HX matrix system.
For detailed installation information, see the Eclipse HX Installation Guide.
To set up an Eclipse HX matrix system (basic steps):
