  • Page 5: Introduction

    Hardware Versatility The XDS PRO4 can deliver audio received via satellite over any one of its four balanced output ports. Additionally, content can be received and stored locally for later use. This content can originate from a real time satellite broadcast, from a high speed satellite IP distribution channel, or can be retrieved via the Internet over the Ethernet port, if so configured.

    The NMS will also coordinate file transfers to store sound, data, or hardware updates directly to the PRO4’s internal hard drive. The NMS will also come equipped with an advanced event logging system ensuring that any technical problems will be accompanied by a full history so that causes of problems may be easily identified and eliminated.
