Expanded Audio System Monitoring
Expanded Audio systems require external looped cables between the two
frames for monitoring. You need to connect a cable from a
Monitor Out
con-
nector on a backplane in the base frame to a
Monitor In
connector on a back-
plane in the expansion frame. And a second cable from the
Monitor Out
connector on the same backplane on the expansion frame to the
Monitor In
connector on the backplane in the base frame. You can use any of the avail-
able connector types and any of the available backplanes.
shows
an expanded 256x256 system, using the terminal block connectors on the
backplanes in slots 1 and 5. The connectors could be used on any of the
backplanes. Since all of Outputs are available to all of the monitor connec-
tors on each frame, it does not matter which two backplanes are used; as
long as it is one in the base frame and one in the expansion frame. In
the recommended cabling is shown.
One Destination signal is available to all of the
Monitor Out
connectors in the
configured matrix. All the backplanes have at least one
Monitor Out
con-
nector. Two of the AES Audio backplanes have two
Monitor
Out
connectors.
On the AES Terminal Block backplane there is a terminal block
Monitor Out
connector and a BNC
Monitor Out
connector and on the AES 50 pin D back-
plane there is a 9 pin D
Monitor Out
connector and a BNC
Monitor Out
con-
nector. See
for the 9 pin D connector pinouts used on
the 50 pin D backplanes. See
for the terminal block
connector pinouts used on the terminal block backplanes. For more infor-
mation on configured matrix sizes and number of Mon Out connectors per
matrix see
