THE ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX

SYSTEM: AN OVERVIEW

The Eclipse range of matrices comes in three frame formats. The Eclipse Omega

matrix is the largest with 15 client card slots providing up to 240 ports in six rack

units (6RU). The other members of the Eclipse family are the Median, with slots

for up to 7 client cards and 8 interface modules in six rack units (6RU), and the

PiCo, with up to 36 panel and 4-wire ports in one rack unit (1RU).

Clear-Com designed the Eclipse Omega matrix with modular components that

help you to plan, build, or customize your communication system to meet the

most rigorous demands of modern broadcast, performing arts, industrial,

aerospace, and military environments.

FEATURES

Features of the Eclipse Omega matrix system include:

• Full audio bandwidth throughout the signal chain, producing superior

broadcast audio quality. The system maintains 24-bit sampling and 30 Hz to

22 kHz frequency response.

• A six rack-unit matrix housing up to 240 RJ-45 ports and dual redundant

power supplies.

• Fifteen available port cards supporting 16 ports each.

• Fail-safe redundancy achieved by two processor cards and two power supplies.

• Power supplies that automatically switch to the correct voltage, for

compatibility around the world.

• Eight general purpose inputs and eight relays, located directly on the matrix.

• Full compatibility with selected Matrix Plus 3 panels and interfaces, selected

4000 Series II panels, V-Series panels and FreeSpeak/CellCom antennas and

splitters.

• Matrices that link across cities, nations, or continents through trunk lines and

fiber.

• Uses the same fiber-networking cards as the Eclipse Median matrix.

• Connection to FreeSpeak/CellCom antennas and splitters using the E-Que

card.

• Multiple E-Que cards can be fitted to a single matrix.

• VOX-programmable audio which visually cues you at the matrix when audio

transmits at a programmed threshold on a connected intercom panel or

interface.
