TESIRA SERVER
The Tesira
®
SERVER is a digital network server for use with the Tesira digital audio networking platform. It
is factory configured with one DSP card yet capable of handling up to seven additional DSP cards. For digital
audio networking it can be configured with up to two AVB or CobraNet
®
network cards in any combination.
An integral network card provides redundant network connection for configuration and control of the
Tesira network as well as General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) connections. In cases where local I/O is
advantageous, a Tesira standard I/O card may be installed. The modular DSP features two new Biamp
algorithms, SpeechSense™ and AmbientSense™, which enhance speech processing by more accurately
distinguishing between human speech and noise. The DSP also provides extensive audio processing, including
but not limited to: signal routing and mixing, equalization, filtering, dynamics, and delay as well as control,
monitoring and diagnostic tools; all configured through the Tesira designer software.
