Nexia® TC
Teleconference DSP
Nexia TC is a digital signal processor with 8 wide-band AEC mic/line inputs, 2 standard mic/line inputs,
4 mic/line outputs, and a telephone interface. Intended for a variety of teleconferencing applications,
Nexia TC uses Biamp’s proprietary Sona™ AEC algorithm for more natural sound and full-duplex
transmission of speech. Nexia TC includes a broad selection of audio components, routing options, and
signal processing. The internal system design is completely user denable via PC software, and can
be controlled via daVinci™ software screens, RS-232 control systems, and a variety of optional remote
controls. Multi-unit Nexia systems can be created utilizing Ethernet and NexLink digital audio linking.

ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS SPECIFICATION
The teleconference DSP shall provide eight wide-band Sona™ AEC balanced mic/line inputs, two standard balanced
mic/line inputs, and four balanced mic/line outputs on plug-in barrier-strip connectors. A telephone interface shall
be provided on a pair of RJ11 jacks. Inputs and outputs shall be analog, with internal 24-bit A/D & D/A converters
operating at a sample rate of 48kHz. All internal processing shall be digital (DSP). NexLink connections shall allow
sharing of digital audio within multi-unit systems.
Software shall be provided for creating/connecting DSP system components within each hardware unit. Available
system components shall include (but not be limited to) various forms of: mixers, equalizers, lters, crossovers, dynamics/
gain controls, routers, delays, remote controls, meters, generators, and diagnostics. Ethernet communications shall be
utilized for software control and conguration. After initial programming, processors may be controlled via dedicated
software screens, third-party RS-232 control systems, and/or optional remote control devices. Software shall operate
on a PC computer, with network card installed, running Windows® XP Professional/Vista. The teleconference DSP shall
be CE marked, UL listed, and shall incorporate AES48-2005 Grounding & EMC practices. The teleconference DSP shall
be compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC, the RoHS directive. Warranty shall be ve years.
The teleconference DSP shall be Nexia® TC.
