DESCRIPTION
The NION (n. nee-on) nE is a programmable digital audio processing node designed for professional and commercial audio and
communications applications. Coupled with 3 floating-point DSPs and the industry’s most efficient audio algorithms, the NION
nE extends the world-class power of MediaMatrix to levels never seen before at a lower price that will be hard to resist. The
internal processing core is supported by a wide range of features including MediaMatrix’s Scalable I/O Architecture, a modular
I/O scheme that supports a variety of optional plug-in cards for maximum versatility. The four module bays support up to
64 simultaneous analog audio channels using NIO-AES cards (or up to 32 channels using 8 channel Nio cards). The optional
CobraNet or Dante port provides another 64 channels, for a total of 128 simultaneous configurable audio channels. The NION
nE is built on an embedded Linux architecture designed for stable, efficient and robust performance. Low-latency audio across
all I/O ports makes NION perfect for performance audio projects, in addition to applications where a large amount of audio
processing is required. Software support includes a Windows-based interface that works with multiple nodes across an Ethernet
network. Additional support for third party control and SNMP management tools is included. Control interfacing is provided by
both RS-232 and EIA-422/485 ports, while a configurable GPIO system makes interfacing with hard-contacts and logic systems
easier than ever.
