Concept
  NEXUS STAR and NEXUS are primarily fully-digital audio-signal routers and distribution systems. They are designed as distributed systems composed of multiple Base Devices. The Base Devices have a modular configuration and are interconnected via fibre-optic cables.
The routing systems and audio networks are configured individually for each customer and may be extended at any time.
 

NEXUS STAR Audio Network

 Base Device network with a NEXUS STAR as the central router.

Extensive audio networks can be implemented using basic NEXUS building blocks.
NEXUS STAR router was designed as a supplementary component and is particularly suitable for the most extensive systems where the network consists of large numbers of NEXUS Base Devices spread over various studios and machine rooms. Acting as the core of the installation, NEXUS STAR handles the routing using a specifically designed and highly optimised routing matrix. This matrix is capable of routing 4,096 inputs to 4,096 outputs.
NEXUS STAR increases not only the capacity but also the flexibility of the routing. NEXUS STAR accommodates multiple optical-interface boards. Each capable of connecting a maximum of four NEXUS Base Devices to the network.
On request, NEXUS STAR can be equipped with inputs and outputs for the multichannel MADI format. All other analogue and digital formats are made available via NEXUS Base Devices connected to the NEXUS STAR.
 

NEXUS STAR.
The Core Router		 The NEXUS STAR acts as a star router. Unlike the distributed topology of a traditional NEXUS network, the Base Devices connect direct to the core router in a star configuration. NEXUS STAR is located in the very centre of the network.
Such a structure is easy to implement and very user-friendly thanks to its clear layout. And it provides maximum flexibility. Other key benefits include the low cabling requirements and the resultant savings in cabling hardware.
 
Straightforward Concept

A NEXUS STAR based audio router network consists of the following:

  • NEXUS STAR router (including MADI boards as requested)
  • NEXUS Base Devices featuring customized I/O resources and DSP boards for signal processing (on request)
  • Duplex optical cables interconnecting the core router and the Base Devices
  • One or more control computers providing the interface between the NEXUS STAR audio network and the user

Due to the complex routing matrix, a NEXUS STAR unit has a fixed height of 6 units. All boards available for it are also 6 units in height.
The NEXUS STAR RBP (Router BackPlane) provides 21 slots. 16 of these slots are reserved for accommodating I/O boards.
