NXES104 EXPANSION BOARD, REMOTE CONTROL AND ASIO DRIVER
If you recall a setup from a different family, a confirmation window will appear to prevent
any mistake. A key combination on the computer keyboard will be then required to confirm
the selection.
(24) Virtual front panel size
In order to fit on smaller computer screen, you have the possibility to reduce the size of
the virtual front panel to display all the control of the unit on screen. There are three sizes
available: Maximized (the whole virtual front panel is displayed), intermediate (only the
virtual LCD display is visible) and minimized (only the part above the LCD is displayed).
NXAMP and NXES104 with the ASIO streamer
What are ASIO / ASIO streamer?
ASIO means Audio Stream Input/Output and is protocol designed to exchange audio data
between computers based audio programs and soundcard. Today most of professional
audio software (referred as “ASIO host” bellow) supports ASIO protocol.
The ASIO streamer allows you to send directly four channels of digital audio in 24 bits/48
KHz from a PC computer to any NXAMP connected directly or through a local area network.
No soundcard or external hardware is needed. Thus the NXAMP can be seen as a “remote
soundcard”.
The ASIO streamer works in point to point mode, meaning that a PC computer running the
ASIO streamer can send audio to one NXAMP only. But on the other hand:
1) From a unique NXAMP receiver in ASIO mode, the audio can be send to other NXAMP
as well using an Ethersound™ network (NXAMP in daisy chain for example), see ASIO
mode above.
2) Several pairs of computer/NXAMP can exchange audio data using ASIO streamers on a
local area network at the same time.
3) Several computers can be configured to stream audio to the same NXAMP, but cannot
send at the same time; once a computer stop playing audio, it will free the ASIO driver
(the audio host software might need to be shut down) thus another computer can use
the driver now.
