Biamp 901.0317 Tesira SCM-1

Product Overview

The Biamp Tesira SCM-1 is a modular CobraNet networking card that adds up to 32 x 32 channels of digital audio interconnectivity to a Tesira SERVER or SERVER-IO device. It is the interface integrators specify when a Tesira DSP system must share audio with existing Biamp Audia and Vocia installations or other CobraNet devices. This Tesira CobraNet networking card lets a modern Tesira platform interoperate with legacy commercial audio infrastructure over standard Ethernet. The SCM-1 can be installed at the factory or added in the field.

Product Description

The SCM-1 allows a Tesira system to send and receive digital audio using the CobraNet networking protocol, with each card supporting up to 32 x 32 channels of interconnectivity. It is the practical path for AV system integration projects that must bridge a new Tesira DSP core into an established Audia or Vocia network without re-cabling an entire building. Explicit CobraNet input and output blocks in Tesira software give the system designer direct control over signal routing between the DSP and the CobraNet network. Dual RJ-45 connectors provide primary and secondary network connections. The SCM-1 can operate in conjunction with DAN-1 Dante and AVB-1 cards in the same chassis, so Tesira can bridge audio across CobraNet, Dante, and AVB simultaneously. System configuration and control are handled over Ethernet. The card incorporates AES48-2005 grounding and EMC practices, is RoHS compliant, and carries Biamp's 5-year warranty. Combine it with the Tesira DAN-1 or Tesira AVB-1, or browse the full Biamp collection.
