Biamp TesiraFORTE Installation & Operation Manual

TesiraFORTÉ
Installation & Operation Guide
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The TesiraFORTÉ products are audio DSP devices designed to operate as
standalone processing devices with Tesira expanders and controllers, or as part
of a full set of Tesira devices.
The TesiraFORTÉ products are separated into AVB-equipped, Dante-equipped
or standalone TesiraFORTÉ devices with no digital audio protocol feature.
TesiraFORTÉ VT4 is separated into AVB-equipped and Dante-equipped, but
does not feature a standalone model (digital audio protocol feature).
The models with AVB (Audio Video Bridging) have an additional RJ-45 Ethernet
connector for connecting with other Tesira and 3rd party AVB devices using an
AVB switch. Dante models feature an RJ-45 Ethernet connector in the place of
the AVB RJ-45 connector. This allows other Dante enabled Tesira or 3rd party
devices to communicate with switches.
The TesiraFORTÉ AVB servers have a capacity of 128 channels of audio in and
128 channels of audio out. TesiraFORTÉ DAN (Dante) models have a capacity
of 32 channels of audio in and 32 channels of audio out. The standalone
TesiraFORTÉ products have the same features and processing functionality as
the AVB and the Dante equipped servers, but without the ability to make a digital
audio connection to other Tesira audio devices.
