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

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).
