TESIRA EX-LOGIC

The Tesira® EX-LOGIC is a half-rack logic box for use with Tesira SERVER and SERVER-IO devices. The

EX-LOGIC provides both logic inputs and outputs and, through software, can be congured as a control

interface. There are 16 total connections that can be used as inputs or outputs. 12 of the connections are
designed as logic connections only and will accept contact closure or 5V TTL when used for logic or sink a
maximum of 40V/300mA per output. The remaining four connections can also be used for logic connections
or as variable voltage control inputs (e.g. interface to a potentiometer). Additionally, any of the 16 connections

can be congured for direct LED driver capability. The EX-LOGIC also provides a serial port for the output

of command strings that can be used to send action commands to other equipment in the system. The

EX-LOGIC communicates with the Tesira network for data transmission, conguration and control, and

is powered by PoE.

BENEFITS

• Logic interface allows Tesira to control or respond to controls from other equipment

• All connections can be congured as input or output

• Additional voltage control connections allow for control functions that are variable rather than

simple on/off

FEATURES

• 16 total logic connections can be used as inputs or outputs

• Four of the 16 connections can be used as voltage control inputs

• Inputs can control actions within the software including: presets, mutes, ducking, room

combining, paging functions, and much more

• Outputs can trigger status relays, indicators or provide logic input to other controllable
equipment

• Serial port for the output of command strings

• Connects to Tesira SERVER or SERVER-IO over Ethernet

• Powered by PoE

• Plug-in barrier strip connections

• Front panel LEDs for device status indications

• Half-rack chassis

• RoHS compliant and AES grounded

• Covered by Biamp Systems’ 5-year warranty
