Product Overview
The Tesira SERVER-IO is a rack-mount, configurable I/O digital signal processor for large-scale commercial audio systems and networked AV integration. It is factory configured with one DSP-2 card and scales to a high channel count for conference room, auditorium, and multi-room deployments. As a networked DSP it serves as a central processing core or works with Tesira expanders to build a scalable audio network.
Product Description
The SERVER-IO accepts up to three DSP-2 processing cards and up to three audio networking cards, in any combination of one AVB-1, up to two SCM-1 CobraNet, and up to two DAN-1 Dante cards. It supports up to 12 standard Tesira I/O cards for up to 48 channels of analog audio, including mic/line, VoIP, and FXO telephone interfaces, and delivers up to 420 x 420 channels of digital I/O over AVB. SpeechSense and AmbientSense algorithms support advanced paging and ambient-aware processing, and configuration and control are handled over Ethernet or serial through Tesira software. The 3RU chassis includes a front-panel OLED display and is UL listed, CE marked, and RoHS compliant.
