xOut 12

The xOut 12 is a digital-to-analog (D/A) audio output expander for COGNIO smart hardware, adding local analog outputs and Dante network audio channels.

Key Features - 12 Line Outputs: Balanced analog line-level outputs for multi-zone audio routing and processing. - Network Audio Expansion: Ultra-low latency Dante audio streaming over standard Ethernet networks. - Integrated Gigabit Switch: Dual-port Dante switch enables direct connection to COGNIO smart processors or daisy-chaining up to 10 units without requiring external network switches. - Centralized Management: Full configuration, programming, and management integrated within DesignOps software.

To push a site file to an xOut 12, the host computer running DesignOps, the xOut 12 device, and the host COGNIO smart system (TC-Series, C10, C20, or C100) must all reside on the same local network, as the COGNIO processor handles all xOut 12 control operations. The xOut 12 features RJ-45 ports supporting 1 Gbps Ethernet to facilitate deployment.
