DESCRIPTION
Clear-Com's sophisticated modular interface system is optimized for use with intercom systems. Interfacing permits Matrix Plus
™
, and other digital intercom systems to connect to and communicate via other types of communications systems.
The modular interfaces are mounted into interface frames, which provide the necessary connectors, communications busses, and power. The IMF-3 frame holds up to 11 modules, and the IMF-102 holds two. The frames also provide the capability for redundant power supply, for fail-safe reliability.
When an interface is connected to a port of the
IMF-3 Interface Frame, Rear View matrix frame, the system recognizes and auto-configures it - easing installation and operations. Interfaces are available to connect telephones, party-line and camera intercoms, two-way radios, and other 4-wire audio circuits. Other interfaces enable control functions via the matrix.
INTERFACE FRAMES
The IMF-3 is a 3-RU interface frame that holds up to 11 modules. Modular rear-mounted connector panels feature two RJ-45 connectors to the matrix ports and two DB-9's attaching the connected devices. The frame is used in conjunction with the PSU-101 rack-mountable power supply, providing power to the enclosed interfaces. A second PSU-101 may be attached for redundancy.
The IMF-102 interface frame combines an internal power supply, connection for a second redundant supply, a rear input/output connector panel, and slots for two modular interfaces— all in a 1-RU chassis. The compact frame offers a practical way to add a small quantity of interfaces to a MicroMatrix, Matrix
Plus, or other digital intercom system.

TEL-14 CCI-22 FOR-22 RLY-6 GPI-6 Rear Panel
INTERFACES
TEL-14
The TEL-14 is a two-line, auto-nulling digital hybrid telephone interface module. Onboard
DSP processors provide greater than 40-dB of trans-hybrid loss, as well as automatic echocancellation for the highest intelligibility and audio quality. Enable or disable auto-answer and auto-disconnect. The interface is perfect for establishing IFB connections between the main intercom and remote production trucks, linking intercom communications between remote systems, and enabling telephone calls directly to or from any intercom station in a
Matrix Plus or other system.
CCI-22
The CCI-22 connects two 2-wire full-duplex party-line circuits with the matrix. The interface supports Clear-Com signaling to and from the matrix system, deriving its power from the external party-line circuit. Levels and nulling are completely adjustable. The CCI-22 functions with Clear-Com and other two-wire intercom systems.
FOR-22
The FOR-22 connects two external 4-wire circuits to the matrix. Camera intercoms, twoway radios, microwave and satellite links, IFB's, and program audio in and out are candidates for the FOR-22. The module provides proper impedance matching, transformer isolation, and level adjustments between systems. It also supports external relay activation and call-sense circuitry.
RLY-6
The RLY-6 provides six fully programmable SPDT (single pole, double throw) relay outputs, to support dedicated switching functions external to the matrix system. The relay interfaces connect to a separate accessory data connector on the matrix card frame, and are programmed and activated through that connector. It is not necessary to use audio I/O ports from the matrix to trigger relays and other logic control devices.
GPI-6
The GPI-6 provides six general-purpose logic inputs into the matrix, allowing external sources to trigger routing changes and other events through the matrix system. Like the
RLY-6, this interface is also connected through the separate accessory data connector on the matrix frame. All of the RLY-6 and GPI-6 interfaces in the system are daisy-chained from the accessory connection, and the matrix system will automatically identify both the type and
"addresses" of every relay output and logic input. The Matrix Plus system supports a combination of up to 10 GPI-6 and RLY-6 interfaces.

IFB-104 IFB ROUTING PANEL
The IFB-104 is a 1-RU panel that directly connects up to four IFB feeds to the ports of a digital matrix system. Individual or multiple IFB earbuds or headphones may be powered directly from each connected matrix port. Alternately, an intercom power supply may be connected, allowing the use of active personal IFB receivers, such as the Clear-Com
TR-50 or TR-532.
The IFB-104 does not require external power to drive its circuitry. Each channel has a rear-mounted wet/dry switch, allowing either direct connection or powering via a party-line intercom power supply. The signal from the matrix port is transformer-coupled to the
XLR-connector output.
BAL-8 EIGHT-PORT GROUND ISOLATION INTERFACE
The BAL-8 is a 1-RU interface containing eight 4-pair, transformer-isolated ports. Each port handles two audio signals and two RS-422 data lines. The unit isolates the connection between Matrix Plus 3 ports and peripheral devices such as two-way radios.
Each set of input/output connectors has its own slide switch, allowing the port to be placed into Normal or Interface mode. In normal mode, the data pairs are unaffected, while in interface mode they are connected to indicate to the system software that a direct connection is being made. Each channel has a pair of RJ-45 connectors for input and output.
PIA-32 PERIPHERAL INTERFACE ADAPTER
The PIA-32 is a stand-alone, one-rack-space translator that converts Matrix Plus 3 ports to
Matrix Plus II ports. It allows existing Matrix Plus II systems, interfaces, and accessories to be used with Matrix Plus 3 systems without modification. Each unit connects six Matrix
Plus II ports, interfaces, or accessories to the Matrix Plus 3 frame.
The PIA-32 translates the different call-signal protocols used by Matrix Plus 3 and II, allowing trunking between systems. It also enables connections between the Matrix Plus 3 frame and the outputs of existing IMF-1 interface frames, and permits interface ID. Further, it enables the connection of third-party telephone interfaces and of the Clear-Com AB-100
On-Air Announcer's Console to Matrix Plus 3 without any modifications.
PSU-101 POWER SUPPLY
The PSU-101 is the power supply for the IMF-3 interface frame. The one-rack-space unit may be connected with a second unit for fully redundant operation. It has both an audible failure alarm and failure relay contacts to activate a remote signal. A single PSU-101 will power a minimum of two interface frames, depending on the type of interfaces and their individual power requirements. Additional power supplies may be added in installations with a large quantity of interfaces, to provide both sufficient power and redundancy.
