Product Overview

The Biamp Tesira EX-LOGIC is a half-rack logic box for use with Tesira audio DSPs. It provides both logic inputs and outputs and, through software, can be configured as a control interface. There are 16 total connections that can be used as inputs or outputs, and the device communicates over Ethernet with the Tesira control network for data, configuration, and control. The EX-LOGIC is powered by PoE (IEEE 802.3at Class 1, 4W).

Product Description

Of the 16 connections, 12 are designed as logic connections only and accept contact closure or 5V TTL for input, or provide a maximum of 40V/500mA for output. The remaining four connections can be used for logic or as variable voltage control inputs, such as an interface to a potentiometer. Inputs can control actions in the software including presets, mutes, ducking, room combining, and paging functions, while outputs can trigger status relays or indicators or provide logic input to other equipment. The EX-LOGIC also provides a serial port for the output of command strings to other system equipment. It connects to Tesira SERVER, SERVER-IO, or TesiraFORTE over Ethernet, uses plug-in barrier strip connections, and provides front-panel LEDs for device status.

Key Features

• 16 logic connections All 16 connections can be configured as logic inputs or outputs.
• Variable voltage inputs Four of the connections can be used as variable voltage control inputs, such as a potentiometer interface.
• Action control Inputs can control presets, mutes, ducking, room combining, paging, and more within Tesira software.
• Serial port A serial port outputs command strings to send action commands to other equipment.
• Ethernet connectivity The EX-LOGIC connects to Tesira SERVER, SERVER-IO, or TesiraFORTE over Ethernet.
• PoE powered The device is powered by PoE (IEEE 802.3at Class 1, 4W).
• Five-year warranty The EX-LOGIC is covered by Biamp Systems’ five-year warranty.

Typical Applications

The EX-LOGIC suits conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-purpose rooms where a Tesira system requires GPIO logic for presets, room combining, or third-party integration.
