Biamp A4 - Manual (Page 40)

Audia-Manual-A4
Each hardware configuration shall include six 60MHz 32-bit floating
point DSPs. Software shall be provided for creating/connecting DSP
system components within each hardware unit. Available system
components shall include (but not be limited to) various forms of:
mixers, equalizers, filters, crossovers, dynamics/gain controls,
routers, delays, remote controls, meters, generators, and diagnostics.
Ethernet communications shall be utilized for software control,
configuration, and DSP distribution. Each hardware configuration shall
be available with CobraNet (for multi-unit applications) or without
CobraNet (for stand-alone applications). CobraNet technology shall
transport digital audio over fast Ethernet, allowing multiple units to
share digital audio. Multi-unit applications shall require an external
10/100Base-T Ethernet switch. All CobraNet and Ethernet connections
shall be via CAT5 cable or fiber-optic. After initial programming,
systems may be controlled using either TCP/IP or RS-232 serial
communication by third party control systems (such as AMX® and
Crestron®), by PC computer, and/or by dedicated remote control devices.
Software shall operate on a PC computer, with network card installed,
running Windows® XP Professional/Vista. The Digital Audio Platform
shall be CE marked, UL/C-UL listed, and shall incorporate AES48-2005
Grounding & EMC practices. The Digital Audio Platform shall be
compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC, the RoHS directive. Warranty
shall be 5 years.
The Digital Audio Platform shall be AudiaFLEX.
AudiaEXPI Input Expander
ARCHITECT'S & ENGINEER'S SPECIFICATION
The Input Expander shall provide eight mic/line analog audio inputs on
rear panel plug-in barrier strip connectors. Front panel level controls
and peak indicators shall be provided for adjustment of the analog
audio input signals. Internal analog-to-digital signal conversion shall
be 24-bit, with a sample rate of 48kHz. Eight channels of digital audio
output shall be provided via CobraNet
®, on two rear panel RJ45
connectors. A rotary encoder and LCD screen shall be provided on the
front panel for programming and setup.
The Input Expander shall be represented as a functional block within
AUDIA
® software, for easy inclusion into system designs. The Input
Expander shall also be capable of providing additional analog audio
inputs to other CobraNet compliant systems or devices. The Input
Expander shall be CE marked, include a UL listed power source, and
carry a five-year warranty.
The Input Expander shall be AudiaEXPI.
