BUILDING YOUR SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE VOR- ® BUILDING YOUR SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE VORTEXES The following is a checklist for building a system with multiple Vortexes: 1. Assign Inputs. 2. Assign Outputs. 3. Configure submatrix (the EF Bus). 4. Configure your echo canceller reference. 1. ASSIGN INPUTS Assign each audio source to an input. Remember to include the conferencing equip- ment such as the EF200 Phone Add or a video codec and any program audio. 2. ASSIGN OUTPUTS Try to assign as many outputs

For systems with more than one room, you will need to use the W, X, Y, or Z sub- busses to share the echo canceller reference in your additional rooms if the EF Bus Reference has already been assigned to the EF Bus.

BUILDING YOUR SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE VOR- Operating as One To set the Vortex to operate as one automixer across several Vortexes, set the BUS MIXER parameter on all Vortexes to the same automixer group. Automixer with Multiple Vortexes Example: Room Let’s take a room combining setup as an example. You have 3 rooms, each with 8 microphones, therefore needing 3 Vortexes. For the purposes of this example, the 3 Combining rooms can operate as 3 separate rooms, 2 rooms with 12 mics each, or one

BUILDING YOUR SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE VOR- CONNECTING MULTIPLE VORTEXES Up to 8 Vortexes can be linked together at one time. Each unit in the chain must have a unique Device ID. Use the EF Bus to link multiple Vortexes together. The following steps should be followed to connect the EF Bus: • Connect the RS-232 remote control device to the first Vortex in the chain. • Connect the provided Cat-5 cable between the EF BUS OUT of the first device, and the EF BUS IN of the second device. Note. The EF

BUILDING YOUR SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE VOR- Connecting the If you are linking multiple Vortexes, you must use the EF bus to link the Vortexes to each other. If you are linking a Vortex to other EchoFree devices, such as the EF200 Vortex with Other Phone Add, for RS-232 control, use the ASPI bus. See Figure 4 below.
