Product Description
TC-5D
TesiraCONNECT™ TC-5D serves as the central connection point for all
Biamp® and Dante™ devices in a conference room. The TC-5D simplifies
installations by providing power and media over a single category cable
between devices such as Tesira AVB DSPs, USB extenders, PoE+ amplifiers
and microphones as well as 3rd-party Dante devices.
Setup and Use
The TC-5D is designed to work out of the box without any user configuration
required, but the Tesira software provides an intuitive interface for features
such as locate and firmware updates. The information supplied by this manual
relates to physical connections and device setup. For more details on software,
please consult the Tesira Help File.
Up to four TesiraCONNECT devices may be connected in daisy chain or star
topology to support additional Tesira devices or remote mounting locations.
Installation
Install away from heat sources, such as vents, radiators, heat registers and
stoves. Also avoid installing near water or steam. Do not exceed the maximum
ambient operating temperature of 32-104° F (0-40° C). Be aware of conditions
in an enclosed rack that may cause the temperature to exceed ambient room
conditions.
The TC-5D may be installed in various locations, and an optional mounting
bracket (ordered separately) allows the TC-5D to be securely fastened under
tables, on walls, etc.
