- Compact 1RU design - 64 x 64 AoIP patch bay - Near instantaneous audio switching - High resolution screen with clear metering and quick source touch screen navigation - Memories for recall of different setup - Available as either Dante or Ravenna at time of purchase.
A 1U 19inch rack mounted AoIP patch bay 2 models are available either Dante or Ravenna A 64 x 64 AoIP patch bay when running at 48kHz allows any input to be connected to any output or any input to multiple outputs. All of the features are easily and simply controlled via the large intuitive touchscreen interface. Patches are configured and reconfigured easily by touching the respective switch on the touchscreen resulting in near instantaneous changeover of the audio It is also possible to quickly recall different patch settings that have been saved to memory
The RP64 is operated and controlled via the large letterbox 6.6” diagonal (168mm) 1440 x 240 24-bit colour LCD and capacitive touch panel.
A simple and elegant menu system has been designed to be intuitive to navigate allowing the user to access all the features of the RP64 unit very quickly. The high-resolution screen is easy to read presenting comprehensive metering, routing and status information to the user.
Firmware updates of the RP64 are achieved via a dedicated USB micro AB connector on the front panel.
On the rear of the RP64 unit there is a Primary and Secondary port for the AoIP input The Control RJ45 allows the RP64 to remotely controlled via NixNet The Remote RJ45 is a bespoke remote control port for additional accessories (note it is not compatible with ethernet)
The RP64 can be powered via PoE on the Primary port and/or via the 2.5mm DC input connectors requiring 24V @ 2A. The DC input also have a screw lock to prevent accidental unplugging. Using both the PoE and the DC inout provides redundancy. The optional NIX00583 or the NIX00629 can be used to power the RP64
