Intelix MZP Multi-zone Paging and Program Distribution System

Intelix MZP System

The Intelix MZP Multi-zone Paging and Program Distribution System is dedicated to total audio management in multi-zone facilities. This means that MZP is the single-box solution for your facility's paging, mic/line mixing, and background music needs.

The MZP system combines a sophisticated, ethernet-enabled matrix mixer with durable remote controls and intuitive design, programming, and control software. Because the MZP matrix truly mixes levels at each crosspoint rather than just switching crosspoints on and off, the MZP automatically ducks program material during a page and then smoothly ramps the music back to its original level when the page is complete. Design with Intelix and design with intelligence.

MZP Feature Focus
Comet series remotes. Contractors build program selection and paging stations using Intelix's modular remote controls. Each remote's exact function is assigned via MZP Designer software.
Automatic program ducking and ramping during page. Because Intelix matrix products truly "mix" levels at each crosspoint rather than just "switch" crosspoints on and off, the MZP automatically ducks program material during a page, then smoothly ramps the music back to original levels when the page is complete.
Integrated audio distribution and zone paging. The MZP system combines VCA matrix mixer, setup and control software, and programmable Comet remotes to handle a wide variety of audio distribution and zone paging applications.
Battery backup. All response curves, presets, and current audio matrix values are stored internally in battery-backed nonvolatile RAM. Even in the event of a power failure, the matrix mixer saves its settings, ramping all levels back to their previous values five seconds after power restoration.
Connectivity. Every MZP Series matrix facilitates serial communication via RS232, TCP/IP LAN, and the internet. Front and rear panel RS232 communication ports allow quick onsite diagnostics, and an optional PCMCIA Logic Card allows up to eight contact closure inputs with eight output indicators.
Contol. Free MZP Designer Software allows you to monitor, control, and troubleshoot an entire MZP room combine system from any remote location with an internet connection. Included real-time event scheduling software allows you to program repetitive or unique audio activities in a simple platform closely resembling standard PDA scheduling software.
Security. To ensure only legitimate users connect to and control the MZP matrix, MZP Designer Software includes an authorized client list providing internal firewall protection from unauthorized ethernet connections.

MZP Accessories
Factory-Installed Mic/Line Preamplifiction Card
The Intelix factory-installed Mic/Line Card provides +15V phantom power and up to 60 dB of gain for eight MZP matrix audio input channels (specify one Mic/Line Card per every eight inputs which require preamplification).
Intelix PSM-8
PSM-8
The Intelix PSM-8 Paging Station Microphone is a programmable remote paging station with eight customizable touch-button controls for selecting which zone(s) a page will be routed to. The PSM-8 is available with a gooseneck microphone (PSM-8) or as only a base (PSM-8-base).
Intelix Comet Remotes
Comet Remotes
Intelix offers individual Comet remotes for source selection and volume control, allowing you to customize the end-user's remote controls based on the application requirements. All Comets are single wall box mountable, feature RJ45 connectors for wiring, and are available in either decora style (decora mount-ready) or panel style (custom panel mount-ready).
Intelix Comet-DTMF
DTMF Phone Interfacing Module
The Intelix Comet-DTMF module provides a diagnostic remote interface between PBX and standard analog phone systems, allowing touchtone phones to control and page into the MZP system.
Intelix Bridge Adaptors
Comet Bridge Adaptor
Intelix Comet-BA4 and Comet-BA11 bridge adaptors simplify Comet remote wiring while providing a diagnostic interface should problems arise. The Comet-BA4 distributes one RJ45 input to four RJ45 outputs, while the Comet-BA11 distributes one input to eleven outputs.
MARC Comet-8 Relay Station
COMET-8-LOGIC Relay Station
The Intelix COMET-8-LOGIC is the relay station and interface for routing contact closure logic commands to the Intelix MARC matrix.
Factory Configuration
Intelix Factory Configuration is a practical and affordable option which ensures every MZP installation proceeds quickly and smoothly. Specifically, Intelix will optimize your MZP designer software file, program and load the program file onto the MZP matrix mixer, test the entire package to ensure proper operation, generate wiring and product reports, and provide technical support on a priority basis for two years from the date of purchase. Factory configuration is required on all opening MZP matrix orders unless prior Intelix training has been completed.
MZP Designer Software
Intelix MZP Designer Software is a unique, all-inclusive platform designed for the system designer, programmer, installer, and end-user. MZP Designer Software is included free with every MZP matrix purchase.
InteliTool Programming Software
Intelix InteliTool Software generates RS232 strings for quick and easy programming. By stepping through a series of simple menus, the programmer can progressively define specific functions and the Programmer’s InteliTool will generate a control string which can be copied for placement in the control program.

MZP Model Specification

The easiest way to prepare an MZP Multi-zone Paging and Program Distribution System purchase order is to let the MZP Designer Software prepare the document for you. Every time you design a system using Intelix Designer Software, a complete parts list and wiring report is automatically generated, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

1) Specify the MZP Matrix Mixer
 

Determine the required amount of audio inputs and outputs. Keep in mind that stereo sources/destinations MARC Part Number Naming Examplepopulate two inputs/outputs.

Round the number of the audio inputs to the nearest derivative of eight and place them within Intelix's part numbering system. 

2) Specify Control
 

Determine if analog or PBX phone system paging is required.

     

If required, specify a Comet-DTMF.

  Determine if desktop microphone paging is required.
   

If required, specify a PSM-8 paging station microphone.

  Determine if remote control is required.
   

If required, specify Comet remotes or an RS232 controller. If ordering Comet remotes, specify model and mounting type. Specify one Comet power supply (Comet PS) per 12 individual Comet remotes.

  Determine if logic control is required.
   

If required, specify one COMET-8-LOGIC.

3) Specify Enhancement Components
  Determine if audio preamplification or phantom power is required.
    If required, specify one Mic/Line Card for every eight channels.
 

To simplify wiring, Intelix recommends Comet-BA4 and Comet-BA11 bridge adaptors.

Regardless of how you assemble your purchase order, remember that each system sale is personally handled by an Intelix Application Engineer who ensures your MZP order is complete and correct.
