TesiraFORTÉ X
The TesiraFORTÉ X is the next generation of Tesira DSP processing and is introduced in conjunction with Tesira 4.0
software and firmware. TesiraFORTÉ X combines powerful elements of multiple previous Tesira devices in one product
for quick and easy integration in medium to large conference spaces.
The TesiraFORTÉ X
400/800/1600
connection points. With 4, 8, and 16 channels of Acoustic Echo Cancelation (AEC) respectively, users can choose the
model that meets the number of microphones required for the room.
TesiraFORTÉ X is designed to be used primarily with Biamp's beam-forming microphones, PoE amplifiers and
speakers. A system including these elements and a UC-room system, display and camera will provide a complete
technology solution for a UC-enabled conference room.
The typical function of the TesiraFORTÉ X is to process local Biamp microphone input and speaker output signals in
support of audio-only and audio/video conference calls from dedicated conference rooms, but TesiraFORTÉ X can also
be custom programmed for many other applications.
TesiraFORTÉ X offers installers two discrete modes of operation. The default behavior allows single-button press auto-
configuration assisted by

Models
There are 3 TesiraFORTÉ X models supporting various densities of AEC processing depending on your requirements.
All are externally physically identical aside from their model name. The same power supply model is used for all 3 units.
• TesiraFORTÉ X 400 has 4 channels of AEC,
supporting up to 4 Parlé microphones
• TesiraFORTÉ X 800 has 8 channels of AEC,
supporting up to 8 Parlé microphones
• TesiraFORTÉ X 1600 has 16 channels of AEC,
supporting up to 16 Parlé microphones

- Page 2 1600. Up to 8 channels of amplification are supported on all models when using Biamp Launch auto-configuration. These limitations do not apply to manually configured TesiraFORTÉ X. Biamp Launch TesiraFORTÉ X features Biamp Launch functionality, allowing for one-touch room hardware discovery, configuration, and tuning.
- Page 3 Always use the non-PoE+ port (P1) of the TC-5 to link to the upstream device to maximize the available PoE+ ports and prevent possible damage connecting PoE source to PoE source. TC-5D may be used in place of TC-5 in Launch auto-configured systems, but Launch will not be able to leverage the additional Dante features of TC-5D.

prevent possible damage connecting PoE source to PoE source. TesiraFORTÉ X or Devio SCX? TesiraFORTÉ X offers the best of both worlds, allowing either auto-configuration or manual configuration, depending on the requirements of the job. This flexibility allows one device to fill many roles. Users who are unsure of whether they will need to sometimes manually configure devices as part of larger or bespoke systems can simply order TesiraFORTÉ... -

In separated networks mode (default) the TesiraFORTÉ X is discoverable with Tesira software via the P2-P5 media interface but the software will not be able to connect, send a configuration, or perform control network functions with the hardware if P1 is connected. Connect using the P1 control interface to perform these functions. Biamp Discovery can query the local network for auto-configurable TesiraFORTÉ... - Page 6 Network behavior TesiraFORTÉ X behaves very much like a TesiraFORTÉ AVB with (1) control port and (4) AVB ports running in separated networks mode. Port 1 is dedicated to Control and VoIP in the default network configuration, with both sharing a single IP address.

separated domain (converged network with unique IP subnets for P1 and P2-P5). For all ports to be on a common physical network the device needs 2 links to the converged network (P1 + one link from P2-P5) and the AVB and Dante media IP addresses (P2-P5) must be set using static addressing to valid addresses in a different subnet range from the Control port. -

Firmware #.#.# .tfa2 file as other Tesira hardware uses. The tfa2 file contains firmware resources for all Tesira devices, plus the Devio SCX devices. The tfa2 file is used for updates to both device types via SageVue. Firmware must be release 4.0 or later to support the TesiraFORTÉ X and Devio SCX.

TesiraFORTÉ X auto-configuration supports Biamp AVB peripherals including Parle microphones, Parle amplifiers, EX- UBT, and HD-1 controllers. Please review the Biamp Launch hardware discovery article for details.

Analog I/O TesiraFORTÉ X has 2 channels of mic-line input with phantom power and 2 channels of mic-line output. Gain structure on both input and output matches other Tesira analog I/O ports. TesiraFORTÉ X uses female 3-pole 3.81mm-pitch block connectors for inputs and outputs. GPIO TesiraFORTÉ... - Page 14 without the mounting plate attached Cooling All models of TesiraFORTÉ X are actively cooled by a variable speed fan. Air enters the right side and exits the left side of the unit when viewed from the front. When the unit is wall mounted the orientation is not enforced, but best cooling performance (convection plus fan assistance) will happen when the left side is pointing up.
- Page 15 required AVB streams between devices. TesiraFORTÉ X does not support explicit AVB endpoints, however, other Tesira Server-class AVB devices in the same system can support explicit AVB endpoints and audio can be routed to and from any processing device in the system in this manner. The USB X interface allows 1x1 or 2x2 configuration and a choice of line in and line out or speakerphone behavior with AEC in the audio DSP or AEC in the PC.
- Page 16 TesiraFORTÉ X uses the same TTP commands as all other Tesira hardware so control libraries remain unchanged. TesiraFORTÉ X uses SSH by default, telnet may be enabled if desired. One behavior unique to TesiraFORTÉ X is the VoIP X interface which now hosts 2 call instances rather than 6 as seen in other Tesira devices.
- Page 17 AVB Network Diameter A network hop is a link between two networked devices. Biamp recommends a maximum AVB network diameter of 9 hops in order to guarantee that 2ms deterministic latency is maintained. AVB networks that consist of purely gigabit-capable devices may allow the maximum network diameter to be 9 or more hops while maintaining 2ms deterministic latency.
