linked by connections through a TesiraFORTÉ X, the networks become bridged.
AVB
TesiraFORTÉ X supports up to 128x128 AVB audio channels on up to 64x64 AVB streams using implicit AVB. AVB is
available on all media ports.
Audio transport between TesiraFORTÉ X and other Tesira devices in the same system is done via implicit AVB. With
implicit AVB there is no need to manually define AVB paths, the Tesira compiler will automatically determine the path
and establish the required AVB streams between devices.
TesiraFORTÉ X supports explicit AVB when running firmware version 4.2.2 or later.
If additional AVB-capable network ports are required, up to (3) TesiraCONNECT TC-5 devices may be linked to
TesiraFORTÉ X P2-5 to increase the system's port count as needed. (Adding additional TesiraFORTÉ X to the design
will also increase the available port count with the benefit of additional DSP and AEC processing.) If multiple TC-5 are
required, TC-5 may be connected in a daisy chain, star, or hybrid daisy-chain/star configuration. TesiraFORTÉ X (P2-5)
participates as a media network switch in this topology.
Always use the non-PoE+ port (P1) of the TC-5 to link to the upstream device to maximize the available PoE+ ports.
TC-5D may be used in place of TC-5 in Launch auto-configured systems, but Launch will not be able to leverage the
additional Dante features of TC-5D. Other AVNU certified AVB switches may also be used to connect AVB peripherals
in manually configured or Launch auto-configured systems with TesiraFORTÉ X (NOTE: the connecting port must not
supply PoE to the TesiraFORTÉ X).
TesiraFORTÉ X auto-configuration supports Biamp AVB peripherals including Parle microphones, Parle amplifiers, EX-
UBT, and HD-1 controllers. Please review the Biamp Launch hardware discovery article for details.
Dante
TesiraFORTÉ X supports up to 32x32 Dante audio channels on up to 32x32 Dante flows. AES67 may be enabled on
the TesiraFORTÉ X Dante interface in Dante Controller. It is recommended to operate TesiraFORTÉ X in Converged
Nework Port mode when using AES67 due to the PTPv2 clock profile.
If additional Dante IO channels are needed a TC-5D can be added to the system as long as TesiraFORTÉ X is in
converged control and media network port mode.
The Dante IP is visible on the DAN tab in Device Maintenance. It can be changed while the device is unconfigured and
is read-only once a configuration is loaded. Similarly, the Dante device name can be changed only when the Forte X is
unconfigured.
Dante discovery does not pass across the TesiraFORTÉ X between port 1 and ports 2-5 when Forte X is in a
dedicated network port mode.
Dante is available on all media ports. The TesiraFORTÉ X can be used as a Dante-capable switch if multiple Dante
