Nixer RS32 1U 19in Rack Mount AoIP Switch

About: Nixer RS32 1U 19in Rack Mount AoIP Switch

Based on the latest Nixer audio processor, the RS32 is a 32-way digital Audio over IP switch with 64 digital inputs and 64 digital outputs. Switches can be configured as either 2 inputs to 1 output changeover or 1 input to 2 output changeover. They can be selected individually or linked together to make larger switches up to a maximum of 32 ways. Any switch can be activated by the intuitive touchscreen interface. Switches operate almost instantaneously and negate the need of having to use a laptop and a controller program and the inherent delays these bring.

• Simple and Intuitive Operation to switch to backup signals from a dedicated operator/engineering position.
• 32 individual 2x1 or 1x2 switches can also be linked to make a maximum 32 way changeover. Each switch is user defined via touchscreen. 
• No external laptop and cumbersome software re-routing 
• Near instantaneous audio switching
• Large colour LCD touchscreen for quick and easy re-patching of critical signals 
• Reset and recall route status from memory 
• Compact 1RU design (less than 120mm deep) for deployment in any frame, desk or custom location 
• PoE power or via external DC input for power redundancy 
• Primary and Secondary network ports 
• OSC control via RJ45 (under development, contact Sales for further information). 

Power to the RP64 can be either via PoE on the Primary RJ45 port and/or via the 24V DC power input. Using both PoE and the DC input enables power redundancy. Also, on the rear panel there is a secondary RJ45 port for either redundant or switched AoIP connections. In addition to this there is a Control port for controlling the RP64 via OSC and a Remote RJ45 port for use with optional hardware remotes.

Please Note, the remote port is not compatible with standard ethernet
