INTRODUCTION
THE ECLIPSE-32 MATRIX
The Eclipse family of communications products includes the
Eclipse-32 digital matrix intercom, which offers 32 full-duplex
communication ports, plus four extra 4-wire ports, in a one rack unit (1
RU) chassis. The Eclipse-32 matrix supports the same V-Series
panels, i-stations, 4000 series panels, ICS digital matrix panels and
interfaces as its larger counterparts, the Eclipse Omega and Median
matrices, and is programmed and controlled with the same Eclipse
Configuration System (ECS) software.
Two Eclipse-32 matrices can be joined together to form an intelligently
linked non-blocking 64-port system in two rack units (2 RU) using a
single RJ-45 “base loop” connection. The Eclipse-32 matrix also
provides two power supplies for fail-safe redundancy, and onboard
general-purpose inputs and outputs.
The Eclipse-32 matrix is built around the powerful Motorola 8260
processor, giving it the same processing power as the larger Eclipse
Omega and Median matrices.
This manual refers to facilities in the Eclipse 4.2 software release.
Features of the Eclipse-32 matrix include:
• Thirty-six ports in one rack unit (1 RU), including four 4-wire ports.
• Eight onboard relays and eight onboard GPIs.
• Non-blocking 64-port system created by connecting two matrices with
the high-speed link.
• Intelligent linking of up to 15 matrices using the 4-wire trunks and a
LAN.
• Two power supplies for fail-safe redundancy.
• Seamless interfacing.
• DTMF inward access.
• Programmable VOX.
• Individual level control.
• Intuitive ECS programming software.
• Remote matrix access via Internet/Ethernet.
• Frequency response of 30 Hz to 22 kHz, ± 3 dB.
• SNR and crosstalk > -70 dB.
The Eclipse-32 digital matrix
intercom features 32
full-duplex communications
ports, plus four 4-wire ports.
The matrix fits in one rack
unit (1 RU) of a standard
Electronic Industry
Association equipment rack.
