Extron Electronics has announced the immediate availability of the AXI 016, a 16 output audio expansion interface for DMP 128 Plus audio DSP systems.

The AXI 016 provides a powerful tool for AV system designers to create DMP 128 Plus systems that support larger distributed audio applications, which were previously not possible using a single DMP 128 Plus DSP processor.

The AXI 016 connects to the EXP expansion port on the DMP 128 Plus, transforming the matrix from an 8 output device into a 24 output device. No separate configuration is needed for the AXI 016 because all of the high performance, low-latency DSP processing occurs within the attached DMP 128 Plus.

The DMP 128 Plus models feature an extensive mix matrix that allows all outputs, including the 16 expansion bus outputs used by the AXI 016, to be discretely sourced and routed from any input. Dante audio sources can also be processed and routed to the outputs of the AXI 016 when used with a DMP 128 Plus AT model.

Additionally, AXI 016 audio expansion interface supports audio DSP systems that integrate a DMP 128 Plus and a DTP CrossPoint matrix switcher.

“The AXI 016 addresses the growing demand from our customers for the ability to expand the number of outputs on a DMP 128 Plus System with a very cost effective solution. By leveraging the DMP 128 Plus system with its ProDSP and flexible mix matrix, the AXI 016 expands system capabilities with sixteen additional outputs in a small 1U, half rack width product,” says Extron vice president of worldwide sales and marketing Casey Hall.
