Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 34)

More ports can be utilized on the Eclipse HX-Omega by using higher capacity interface
cards, such as the E-MADI64 card.
(5 E-MADI64 cards * 64 ports) + (10 MVX-A16 cards * 16 ports) = 480
Up to 4 IVC-32 cards could be installed, using 128 audio ports. This would allow 11 more
MVX-A16 cards to be added:
(4 IVC-32 cards * 32 ports) + (11 MVX-A16 cards * 16 ports) = 304
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, and fitting MVX-A16,
IVC-32, E-MADI64, E-QUE E1/T1 direct cards on the left of the matrix, where possible.
Note:
Comfort tones also 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).
