Larger, integrated and consolidated facilities can now use Logitek Audio Engines to build a fully integrated audio routing, distribution and control system including all the features you would expect from audio consoles and intercom systems, too. The AE-Neta card's dual 1 Gbit optical ports allow creation of a ring network with up to 32 Audio Engines, 64 Console Control Surfaces and 640 audio signals being shared simultaneously. Now on-air studios, production rooms, news edit booths, multiple performance areas, conference rooms, and sound venues can all have access to any audio source in the integrated system. Active on-air studios, interactive communication links, or conference feeds can also be switched quickly from room to room as needs require.
The optional Supervisor software provides for integrated configuration of multiple Engines and Control Surfaces and supervision of all routing and switching functions among the group of Engines. Supervisor also provides for advanced functions such as scheduled audio switching and Control Surface configuration, audio routing control, and storage of Control Surface layout "snapshots".
The Audio Engine Network Card and Supervisor add a whole new dimension to the concept of consolidated radio station facilities. You have unsurpassed flexibility and power to match your station audio system to your changing requirements.
If you're planning to install your own fiber optic cable instead of purchasing pre-made fiber cable from Logitek, please make sure you order the correct cables and connectors.
NETA (normal Network card)
MTRJ connectors on each end with NO PINS
Multi-mode, dual strand fiber (orange jacket)
Make a crossover cable, not straight through.
The connector brand must match the fiber cable brand. For example, use Corning connectors with Corning fiber.
NETA-LX (long distance Network card)
MTRJ connectors on each end with NO PINS
Single-mode, dual strand fiber (yellow jacket)
Make a crossover cable, not straight through.
The connector brand must match the fiber cable brand. For example, use Corning connectors with Corning fiber.
