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
customize the device signal paths a la a traditional Tesira DSP device.
TesiraFORTÉ X discovery and connection can be done through the
Tesira software
(version 4.0 and higher).
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 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.
- Page 18 It is generally recommended that no more than 9 hops exist between the furthest edges of the AVB network when using a 1G network. Larger diameters may be supported if throughput latency is known, but 9 hops is a conservative value that should always guarantee robust operation. https://support.biamp.com/Tesira/Miscellaneous/TesiraFORTE_X Updated: Thu, 01 Dec 2022 17:48:44 GMT Powered by...
