Distributed or Centralized Processing?
The debate between centralized and distributed processing models is long over. NION
®
supports a robust infrastructure with systems
built with modular network nodes. Each node includes an extremely powerful DSP engine, congurable I/O and a robust, 448-chan-
nel, low-latency expansion bus. From simple stand-alone systems to large hybrids of multiple congurations, NION supports any
combination of processing, I/O and control.
Software
With NION, a robust vector-based software interface provides powerful, intuitive tools for con-
guring, controlling and managing NION systems. NWare
™
and its associated Kiosk control
client make it easy to manage audio transport, control, redundancy and hardware role assign-
ments across any size of implementation.
Robust control functionality and support for SNMP provide rock-solid performance. And best
of all, the industry’s most comprehensive and continually expanding device set is provided,
continuing the legendary power of MediaMatrix audio processing.
Modular
Key to the power of NION products is Peavey’s Scalable I/O Architecture for maximum design
exibility and ecient hardware management. NION processing nodes are available in mul-
tiple congurations with more to come. The n6 and n3 audio processing nodes provide four
Scalable I/O Card bays while the new nX includes two bays. All NION hardware products sup-
port the same variety of modular plug-in cards and software tools.
NION® n6/n3 exclusive... XDAB (external digital audio bus)
Seamlessly shares channels of digital audio between NIONs in a project.
