CONNECTING THE A/A-AC8 TO THE MEDIAMATRIX SYSTEM
The A/A-AC8 communicates with the MediaMatrix system via an RS-485 multi-drop network. Communications
are half-duplex and require a two-conductor, shielded cable (24 AWG twisted pair telephone cable is
recommended).
Figure 1 shows an example of a MediaMatrix-A/A-AC8 RS-485 network.
