TESIRA EX-IN, EX-OUT & EX-IO

The Tesira® EX-IN, EX-OUT and EX-IO are half-rack expander units for use with Tesira SERVER and
SERVER-IO devices. Each expander provides a total of four channels of analog audio. The EX-IN is a
4-channel mic/line level input expander, the EX-OUT is a 4-channel mic/line level output expander and
the EX-IO provides two channels of mic/line level input and two channels of mic/line level output. The

expanders communicate with the Tesira AVB network for audio networking, conguration and control,

and are powered by PoE+.

FEATURES

• Input and output expanders allow placement of audio I/O in remote locations

• Expanders can be added seamlessly to existing Tesira installations as the system’s needs

change and grow

• Half-rack chassis facilitates discreet and convenient installation without the need for an
equipment rack

• Fully congurable and controllable via the software

BENEFITS

• Audio and control networking over AVB

• Powered by PoE+

• Plug-in barrier strip connectors

• Front panel LEDs for device status indications

• Half-rack chassis

• RoHS compliant and AES grounded

• Covered by Biamp Systems’ 5-year warranty

TESIRA EX-IN, EX-OUT AND EX-IO REAR PANELS

The rear panels are identical for each of the devices, so the with the exception of color of the

connectors and specic connector labeling or product model naming, the rear panel feature are the

same. Shown below is the rear panel of the EX-IO.

1. Grounding pin. This pin is for grounding the chassis of the expander.

2. AVB / Control Connection. Supports Standard RJ-45 connector with CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6 or

CAT-7 cabling. The expander must receive PoE+ power (IEEE 802.3at) on this connector in order
for proper operation. The maximum distance between any unit and an Ethernet switch is 328
feet (100 meters).

This connection is for sending and receiving AVB audio signals as well as sending and receiving
data between the expander device and the Tesira system. An expander will not operate if it is
not on a network that includes a Server-Class Tesira device.

3. Audio Connections. The connections are electrically balanced and are congured for use with

shielded-twisted-pair wiring. The wires are to be terminated in the three-pin removable
connectors according to the wiring diagram shown on the unit. The wiring diagram is also
displayed on the connectors themselves. The connectors may then be inserted into the mating
connectors on the expander. In the illustration above, channel one is shown without the
removable connector inserted.

Input connections (channels 1 or 2 on the EX-IO and channels 1-4 on the EX-IN) are for
connecting analog mic or line level audio signals to the Tesira system. The connections are
balanced and can provide Phantom power if necessary by software control.

Output connections (channels 3 or 4 on the EX-IO and channels 1-4 on the EX-OUT) are for
sending analog audio signals from the Tesira system to other audio devices at either mic level or
scalable line level.
