DSPs- & Controllers Component
XACI
The XACI board is designed as a universal board for advanced interface solutions, protocol converters, intelligent interfaces and other such tasks.
XDSP
With an XDSP board it is possible to use the most different signal processing functions directly within the audio matrix. This can be useful in many applications.
XFAD
The XFAD card allows user-defined crossfading of crosspoints of the audio matrix. This board makes possible in the NEXUS system what would otherwise only be possible in an audio matrix via a mixing console.
XCI
The serial interfaces of the XCI card support RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, MIDI and Ethernet. The board can be used universally as a control interface between the NEXUS system and external devices, with a variety of common protocols already available on the board.
XRI
The XRI boards for NEXUS base devices offer an abundance of GPIO contacts: The board has 24 inputs each evaluated via optocouplers and 24 relay outputs.
XTI
The XTI cards offer serial interfaces in the NEXUS system, whose data is transparently transmitted independently of audio signals. Remote devices can be connected via the network and even between different ports and cards via the matrix.
XCMC
XCMC cards form the compact DSP core of the AURATUS and ON AIR mixing consoles. They enable the simple, compact design of smaller systems without significant restrictions in functionality.
System Components
XRT
The XRT board is a super routing matrix for base devices that can switch and distribute signals independently. Six of the twelve SFP ports support high-speed connections, each of which can transmit 2,048 audio channels.
XCPU
An XCPU card is the core of every base unit. It has an organizational and monitoring function and provides interfaces for user operation. External control systems can also access the system via the XCPU cards.
XFOC-LC
The XFOC card allows NEXUS base devices to be connected via fiber optic cables. This makes it possible to create complex networks whose topology has virtually no limits.
XSYNC
The XSYNC board makes it possible to synchronize a NEXUS network with external video sources. This ensures that each video frame is always assigned exactly the same number of audio samples.
NEXUS Star Components
RIF67
With the RIF67 card it is possible to connect up to eight AoIP networks to a NEXUS system. AES67 and Ravenna are supported. The RIF67 cards are available in four versions: with 2, 4, 6 or 8 active ports. A total of 256 audio channels can be output in IP streams. Depending on the expansion level of the board, 8 channels (RIF67-1) down to 2 channels (RIF67-4) can be bundled per stream.

The RMC card is the heart of every AURUS or CRESCENDO mixer. It handles every single operation, manages the mixer projects and controls the entire data exchange between the console interface, the NEXUS network and the DSP cards assigned to the console. Up to two mixing console surfaces can be connected to one RMC card. In addition, there are connections for time code, MIDI and other controls such as RAS.
RMCQ
The RMCQ card is the heart of the new AVATUS IP mixing consoles from Stage Tec. It handles every single operation, manages the mixer projects and controls the entire data exchange between the console interface, the NEXUS network and the DSP cards assigned to the console.
