Matrix 6400 Wideband Video Switcher Upgrade - Adding Video Circuit-Cards
Upgrading a Matrix 6400 Video Switcher which has a matrix size smaller than
64x64 requires adding one or more video cards. Both Input and Output Video
cards may be required as shown in Figure 5-7.A below. Page 5-8 describes how
to determine how many of each card type is required to change from one matrix
size to another and which connectors to plug the new cards into. The following
procedure describes how to do the upgrade.
1. See Page 5-12 “Software Procedure – Before and After a Hardware Upgrade”.
2. Set the BME power switch (rear panel) to OFF and unplug the AC power cord.
3. Remove the Access Panel.
4. Remove the horizontal bars securing the video cards.
5. Plug the video cards in as required.
6. Reinstall the horizontal bars to secure the video cards.
7. Reinstall the Access Panel.
8. Plug the AC power cord in and set the BME power switch to ON.
9. See Page 5-12 “After Hardware Changes” if system virtualization is required.
10. Verify that the new matrix size is correctly identified.
______ The number of inputs and outputs populated in the matrix switcher depends on
the position of card(s) installed. See “Determining Matrix 6400 Wideband Video
BME Circuit Card Population”, on page 5-8.
