Introducing the xNode
xNodes are a family of compact half-rack Livewire audio and logic interfaces with advanced features.
The xNode family:
• Analog Input/Output xNode: 4 Stereo Analog Line-level Inputs, 4 Stereo Analog Line-level Outputs
• AES/EBU Input/Output xNode: 4 Stereo Digital AES-3 Inputs, 4 Stereo Digital AES-3 Outputs
• Microphone Input/Output xNode: 4 Mic Inputs, 4 Stereo Analog Line-level Outputs
• GPIO Logic xNode: 6 GPIO Ports, each with 5 Opto Inputs and 5 Opto Outputs
• Mixed Signal Input/Output xNode: 1 Mic/Line Analog Input, 2 Analog Line Inputs, 1 AES-3 Input, 3 Ana-
log Line Outputs, 1 AES-3 Output, 2 GPIO Ports, each with 5 inputs and 5 outputs.
• Each of the xNodes support IEEE 802.3af power over Ethernet (PoE) .
• xNodes have a front panel OLED display for setup and status.
• The rear panel contains the audio input/output connectors, the Ethernet connectors and an IEC AC input-
connector.
• The xNodes are in small form factor, 1U Half-Rack.
• Two mounting kits are available as options; Surface-mount or Rack-mount.
• Dual 100BT Ethernet ports, usable as mirroring redundant ports or as a single Livewire port and separate
management port.
• Thermal sensor monitors temperature and provides notication of over-temp condition.
• IEEE 1588 synchronization support
• Ravenna stream routing support
