NXDT104 EXPANSION BOARD, DANTE™ PATCHING AND REMOTE CONTROL
NXDT104 expansion board, Dante™ patching and remote control
On the back panel of the NXAMP Powered TDcontroller there is a slot where the user can
easily insert an expansion board to add digital inputs and remote control to the unit.
Since July 2009, all NXAMP4x1s and NXAMP4x4s are shipped with an expansion card fitted
in, the NX-DFLT card. This card prevents output noises when main AC power feeding
NXAMPs is brutally shutdown (ie power down at the end of the show before NXAMPs are
switched off). NX-DFLT card should always be fitted in when no other expansion card is
used.
The NXDT104 expansion board for NXAMP is compatible with the Dante™ network
technology. This board offers 4 digital inputs of 24 bits/ 48 KHz audio data from a Dante™
network, and also remote control of the unit through the PC based application ESmonitor™.
WARNING! Only 48 KHz audio from Dante™ network is supported.
NB: The firmware of the NXDT104 is automatically updated if needed when the firmware of
the host NXAMP is updated (see further in this manual).
NXDT104 Physical description
The NXDT104 is designed to fit the NEXO’s slot form factor that can be located on the back
panel of the NXAMP Powered TDcontrollers.
NB: This slot features an 80-pins internal connector that is not compatible with the Yamaha
mini-YGDAI slot.
(1) Dante™ Primary Port
This Port running at 100 Mb or 1 Gb (automatically selected) features and Ethercon®
connector. Use this type of connector to secure your Dante™ network from unwanted
unplugs. This type of connector also ensures a longer life to the internal RJ45 contacts,
because it preserves it from external traction.
