Eclipse Configuration Software Instruction Manual
1 - 2
• Store a complete system setup—called a “configuration map”— in an
electronic file on a computer. Download the setup to the matrix to
go into effect immediately.
• Store four complete configuration maps in the matrix’s on-board
memory, any of which can be activated immediately from the front
of the matrix with the push of a button.
• Communicate with CellCom/FreeSpeak beltpacks allowing direct
communication between panels and roaming users.
• Communicate with remote panels over IP.
• Interface with the Clear-Com Concert™ multi-user conferencing
system over IP.
• Interface the intercom system with telephones, two-way radios,
camera intercoms, and more.
• Bring an outside audio source, such as program source, into the
system’s audio stream and interrupt the program audio for
announcements (IFBs).
• Use the GPIO facility to activate an applause light in a studio, a lock
on a door, or other control functions each time an external device
such as a switch is triggered.
• Control, monitor, or run diagnostics on a matrix system remotely from
anywhere in the world, if the matrix is set up on a LAN network.
• Link matrices across cities, nations, and continents.
• And perform many other functions. For more information on individual
panels, interfaces, and features of the Eclipse Matrix Systems,
refer to the complete set of manuals, which are available at
www.clearcom.com or on the Eclipse documentation CD (part
750017Z).
TERMINOLOGY
Production-intercom technology has evolved over the years. Remote
devices connected to the matrix were first called “panels” to
correspond to the metal faceplates that were installed on racks. Later
they were called “stations” when they became fully independent
stand-alone units with metal housing covering the internal circuitry.
Since in many parts of the world, only one or the other of these terms
is used, this manual normally refers to these units as panels.
However, keep in mind that the terms “station” and “panel” generally
refer to the same type of remote intercom device.
