INTERCOM WITH MATRIX

The ConeXia intercom system represents a leap forward and a new concept in regards to intercom systems as it becomes a global audio solution.

Based on an AEQ audio matrix, ConeXia has the capacity of up to 1024 x 1024 cross-points and a modular system of audio I/O cards.

But what really makes ConeXia special is the possibility to integrate intercom and broadcast audio sources into the same matrix, with 48 KHz / 24 bits sampling and 100% redundancy.

ConeXia is also compatible with all KROMA legacy intercom panels and expands the connectivity options including telephony (Analog, GSM, VoIP) and other formats such as MADI, SDI, AoIP and IP Codecs.

Two worlds, a single system — One of the ConeXia system's main advantages is the possibility of integrating broadcast and intercom audio into the same matrix. The intercom system benefits from broadcast audio quality and performance:

• 48 KHz – 24 bit sampling and processing

• AES/EBU audio ports

• 100% redundant matrix

• Multichannel audio interfaces

• Compatible with commentary unit

The fusion of both worlds allows you to integrate all the available audio sources and eliminates the need to manage two different and unrelated audio systems.

Unlimited connection interfaces — ConeXia provides all kinds of interfaces for terminal and matrix interconnection, implemented by means of cards installed in the main XCORE BC2000 frame or intercom interface frames TR7000 and TR5000. Among the multichannel audio interfaces, AES 10 MADI protocol is offered (through coaxial or optical fiber), and a 1024-channel proprietary protocol on optical fiber.

• XC21 — DSP card designed to carry out audio setting and routing.

• XC40 — Master Controller module with Redundancy, Ethernet and GPIO.

• XC13 — Optical Fiber Link module with 1,024 uncompressed audio channels.

• XC10 — Card for digital intercom slots.

• XC24 — DANTE™ – AES67 protocol multichannel AoIP card with access to up to 64 audio channels.

• XC19 — VoIP multichannel audio card.

• XC12 — AES10 MADI multichannel audio module with TX / RX.

• XC09 — Electronically-balanced analog input/output module.

• XC02 — AES/EBU digital input / output module.

• XC03MH — Module with 4 transformer-balanced inputs for microphones.

Wide range of terminals — The wide variety of intercom terminals, together with the additional functions found in broadcast audio matrixes, enable the design of very solid audio systems with up to 1024 audio sources, including:

• Rack-mounted and desktop user terminals

• Wired or wireless belt-packs

• Virtual panels in PCs or Android / Apple devices

• Party-Line subsystems (EasyNET)

• CCU audio

• Microphone audio

• Mixing consoles

• Commentary positions

The interfaces for multichannel audio allow for the design of systems distributed among several venues and provide each system user with any of the audio channels available in the whole installation. The possibility to link matrixes and terminals using IP connections adds another option to the system design so it can be adapted to any possible situation.

Setting up crosspoints with Crossmapper — The Crossmapper PC software simplifies the installation of the system by means of an intuitive graphical interface. The user has simple access to the configuration of each terminal in the system, with different options for each key as well as additional functions such as groups, telephone dialing, IFBs, etc.

Once created, the map can be loaded in any of the 8 memory slots of the matrix via Ethernet or using the USB front port, and it can be activated without drop of the actual communications in a way that is transparent to the users. Crossmapper also allows the supervision of each communication and terminal at any moment, as well as query a comprehensive events register.

This high-performance digital intercom matrix provides broadcast-quality audio. Depending on the version, it can incorporate up to 168 x 168 ports.

128 of them can be AoIP featuring DANTE™ technology, compatible with AES 67 standard, which can easily be connected using existing Ethernet networks through conventional hubs and switches, and offering optional redundancy. It also has 12 analog ports, 8 digital ports, and 20 AoIP ports with KROMA Standard low bit-rate, enabling the connection of wireless intercoms, ancillary equipment and KROMA series 3000, 4000 and 5000 panels. It also includes a local port for headset and a speaker.

In order to provide the system with additional analog and AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs, it can be used together with compatible DANTE™ systems from more than 200 different manufacturers (AEQ NetBox, among them). Optional cluster configuration like redundancy in central matrix.

Provided in versions from 40 to 168 ports, the CrossNET system will grow according to your needs through the installation of upgrade modules. All in a single height 19" rack unit. Optionally, the system can be fitted with a redundant power supply.

The CrossNET Matrix is available in the following versions:

• CrossNET 40: 8 KROMA digital Intercom ports, 12 balanced broadcast quality analog audio ports and 20 ports for compressed audio over IP.

• CrossNET 72: 32 Ports with DANTE™ AoIP Interface, 8 KROMA digital Intercom ports, 12 balanced broadcast quality analog audio ports and 20 ports for compressed audio over IP.
