be displayed. Furthermore applications and viewers can be started and displayed. The arrangement of these

NGM-164
The external device NGM-164 sends audio metering data and audio alarms of audio sources via the Ethernet to
the H
YDRA COMPACT thus enabling to monitor up to 64 or, if using multiple NGM-164 units even more audio
sources. This enables the H
YDRA COMPACT to monitor lots of audio channels without requiring slots in the NGH-001
for that purpose.
