Term
Definition
Panel
Any intelligent intercom device connected to the rear-
panel analog ports of the central matrix. This term
does not refer to devices connected through interface
modules.
Partyline
A wired shared communication system based on a
single screened pair of wires. See the Encore range.
Matrix requires the CCI-22 to interface to it.
Port
Any of the input/output connections (RJ-45
connectors) on the back panel of the central matrix.
These connectors and the attached cables connect the
central matrix to remote intercom devices. The term
port emphasizes that the connection is a portal
between the central matrix and the remote intercom
devices.
Program
Any separate audio source that is fed into the intercom
channels. In television applications, for example, the
program audio is the audio that is broadcast on air.
Rack Unit (RU)
Standardized unit of mounting space on a rack panel.
Each rack unit is 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) of vertical
mounting space. Therefore 1 RU is 1.75 inches (44.45
mm) of vertical mounting space, 2 RU is 3.5 inches
(88.9 mm), 3 RU is 5.25 inches (133.35mm), and so
on.
Remote panel
Any intelligent intercom device connected to the back-
panel ports of the system frame (matrix). This term
does not refer to devices connected through interfaces.
Sidetone
The sound of the panel operator’s voice, as heard in
their own earphone(s) as they speak.
Source
In this guide, the term source refers to a device (such
as an intercom panel, interface, or beltpack) that
sends audio into the matrix. The device to which audio
is sent is called a destination.
VOX
In the Eclipse / Eclipse HX system, when audio at a
panel exceeds a threshold, a light switches on at the
panel’s port card to visually cue the operator. The
threshold level is set in the ECS / EHX configuration
software.
