Nexo DTD-IN Data Sheet

Edge Data Sheet

Edge

Edge scalable hardware partners with Composer open architecture software for total design synergy. Networked audio connections use Dante

protocol for ultra low latency. Multiple end user control options complete the system.

Features:

• Four configurable I/O card slots, up to 16 channels total of local I/O plus 128 (64x64) channels of Dante network audio.

• Eight logic inputs (or four analog control inputs) and eight logic outputs.

• Redundant Dante network audio ports on an internal gigabit switch eliminates the need for an external switch in many systems. Systems using 10 or more Edge mainframes and/or mainframes separated by distances over 100 meters can be implemented with off-the-shelf gigabit hardware.

• Ethernet for configuration and control, and RS-232 for third-party control systems.

• User control by Symetrix ARC wall panels, ARC-WEB, SymVue, third-party touch screens.

• Port for optional redundant external power supply.

Edge Data Sheet

Power: Accepts power from detachable IEC power cable (100240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 45 Watts max).

Aux Power: Locking power plug accepts power from Mean Well power supply part number GS60A24-P1J fitted with a Switchcraft part number 767K plug or suitable 24 VDC / 2.0 Amp auxiliary power source.

ARC: Distributes power and RS-485 data to one or more ARC devices.

Logic Outputs: Eight (8) logic outputs with four (4) paired common ground pins. Logic Outputs go low (0V) when active, and are internally pulled high (5V) when inactive and can drive external LED indicators directly.

External Control Inputs: Four (4) analog control inputs are able to be used as 4 potentiometer inputs or as 8 switch inputs (+3.3 VDC reference voltage supplied).
