1 – Grounding pin. This pin is for grounding the chassis of the expander.
2 – AC Power inlet
3 – AVB/ Control Connection. Uses a standard RJ-45 connector with CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6 or
CAT-7 cabling. The maximum distance between any unit and an Ethernet switch is 328 feet (100
meters).
This connection is for sending and receiving AVB audio signals as well as sending and receiving
data between the expander device and the Tesira system. An expander will not operate if it is not
on a network that includes a Server-Class Tesira device.
4 – Audio Slots. These slots may be optionally factory loaded or eld loaded with EX-MOD audio
cards. The audio connection on the cards are electrically balanced and are congured for use with
shielded-twisted-pair wiring. The wires are to be terminated in the three-pin removable connectors
according to the wiring diagram shown on the unit. The wiring diagram is also displayed on the
connectors themselves. The connectors may then be inserted into the mating connectors on
the expander. In the illustration above, channel one on the card in Slot 1 is shown without the
removable connector inserted.
EIC-4
The Tesira EIC-4 is an expander card with four analog input channels for use with the Tesira EX-
MOD device. The EIC-4 is one of three optional cards that can be mounted in Tesira EX-MOD. Each
EIC-4 provides four channels of mic/line level audio input. The inputs are electrically balanced and
provided on plug-in barrier strip connectors. Software control of each input includes gain with clip
indicator, +48V phantom power, mute, level and signal invert.
EOC-4
The Tesira EOC-4 is an expander card with four analog output channels for use with the Tesira
EX-MOD device. The EOC-4 is one of three optional cards that can be mounted in Tesira EX-MOD.
Each EOC-4 provides four channels of line level audio output. The outputs are electrically balanced
and provided on plug-in barrier strip connectors. Software control of each output includes mute,
level, signal invert and full-scale output reference.
EIOC-4
The Tesira EIOC-4 is an expander card with two input and two output channels for use with the
Tesira EX-MOD device. The EIOC-4 is one of three optional cards that can be mounted in Tesira
EX-MOD. Each EIOC-4 provides two channels of mic/line audio input and two channels of line level
audio output. The inputs and outputs are electrically balanced and provided on plug-in barrier strip
connectors. Software control of each input includes gain with clip indicator, +48V phantom power,
mute, level and signal invert. Software control of each output includes mute, level, signal invert
and full-scale output reference.
