xIO AVoIP DSP Audio Expanders

Can the xIn 12 input setting be controlled from ARC remotes, SymVue, or 3rd party control systems?
xOut and xIn expanders can only be controlled via Composer directly or by programming set up in Composer. For control using a Symetrix hardware control platform (ARC series remote, W series remote), a remote control number must be tied to the given parameter ñ mute or otherwise. SymVue control screens can have the parameter itself copied to it for control. Third party system control would be similar to our ARC and W series control, requiring remote control numbers be set to given parameters. The third-party control system would then need to follow the Symetrix†Control Protocol†to control these parameters.†
Can Dante Controller be used to turn on the output mute settings of the xOut 12?
No, Dante Controller is not able to adjust any audio related settings in a xOut 12.
Can Dante Controller be used to adjust the mic pre or level settings of the xIn 12?
No, Dante Controller is not able to adjust any audio related settings in a xIn 12.
Can the xIn 12 be used to send Dante digital audio to a 3rd party Dante enabled device?
Yes, but a DSP must be present to setup and program the xIn 12. Once programmed the xIn 12 can transmit the Dante audio to any Dante enabled device.
Can the xOut 12 be used to send Dante digital audio to a 3rd party Dante enabled device?
Yes, but a DSP must be present to setup and program the xOut 12. Once programmed the xOut 12 can transmit the Dante audio to any Dante enabled device.
Can the xOut 12 output mute be controlled from ARC remotes, SymVue, or 3rd party control systems?
xOut and xIn expanders can only be controlled via Composer directly or by programming set up in Composer. For control using a Symetrix hardware control platform (ARC series remote, W series remote), a remote control number must be tied to the given parameter ñ mute or otherwise.

Can the xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 be used as standalone DSP devices?
No- The xIn4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 are part of a series of I/O expansion products for the Symetrix DSP products (Edge and Radius) using Dante network audio.
Can I daisy-chain multiple xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 together?
No- The xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 have a single Dante port and Power over Ethernet (PoE) cannot be daisy-chained. They can be directly connected to the main DSP (via a PoE injector), but not to each other.
Does the xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 have redundant capabilities?
No- The xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 are based upon Audinateís Ultimo Dante chip which does not have a redundant mode. They should be connected to the primary Dante network. Other standard IT practices of network redundancy can be employed instead.
Are the xIn 4 and xIO 4◊4 capable of providing Phantom Power?
Yes- The xIn 4 and xIO 4◊4 have (4) balanced analog audio inputs, with individually software-controllable pre-amp gains (reference levels of -50 dBu, -40 dBu, -20 dBu, -10 dBV and +4 dBu), phantom power (+48 VDC ), and mute.
Does the xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 have a rack mount option?
Yes- The Rack Mount Kits consists of a rack tray and four mounting screws. With this kit, one or two units can be mounted side-by-side in a single rack space. (Mounting solutions sold separately).
Is there and under the table or surface mount option for the xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4?
Yes- Under Table/Surface Mount Kits consists of a U-shaped bracket and two mounting screws. With this kit, a single unit can be secured under a table or to another flat surface as required. (Mounting solutions sold separately).
Can I send more than 4 channels of Dante networked audio to and from the xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4?
No- The xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 Dante Interface I/O interface is based upon the Audinate Ultimo chip that supports 4◊4 channels of Dante networked audio.
How do I power up the xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4?
The xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 are powered over Ethernet (PoE) by an IEEE 802.3af Class 0 standard compliant switch or the included injector. No other external power supply is needed or used.
Do the xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 need to be connected to a Gigabit network?
No- The xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 have a 100 Base-T Ethernet port that provides 8 (4◊4) channels of Dante network audio, Ethernet communications, and power. Symetrix suggests connecting to a gigabit switch. Especially if multiple devices with Dante audio are connecting to a common switch.
Can the xIn 4, xOut 4, and xIO 4◊4 be used with non-Symetrix DSP systems?
Yes. You can use any of Symetrix Dante expander units with third party DSPs and systems. However, these devices will not be configurable beyond what Dante control allows, and will remain in their default settings. Input sensitivity = +4dBu Phantom power = Off
How do I configure the xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4?
The xIn 4, xIO 4◊4 and xOut 4 are configured via the award winning SymNet Composer software. Once transmit and receive flows are created within the software the xIO 4◊4, xIn 4 and xOut 4 will need to be located through a Radius or Edge DSP, then the configuration pushed to the hardware.
