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 (T10C, C10, or C20) 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.
