1. 

Overview 

NT  MATRIX  is  a  system  interface  with  a  built-in  DSP  processor  that  performs  audio  signal  routing 

matrix, mix and various signal processing. 

It corresponds to various uses by combining audio input / output card and control card. 

It also supports redundancy of power supply input and redundancy of audio signal processing section 

(option), making it ideal for relaying, live broadcasting, program recording, television and radio studios 

that require high reliability.

Features

 

  Function 

(1)  160ch x 160ch Audio Matrix Router 

(2) 

Configurable DSP audio signal processing

 

(3) 

6 card slots (2 of which correspond to 64 ch audio input / output)

 

(4) 

Analog, digital audio I / O card and GPIO, VCA control card option is avalable

 

(5) 

Logic  setting  of  button  ON  /  OFF  information  of  GPIO  and  touch  panel  can  be  done  by  using 

LOGIC function

 

(6) 

User interface can be freely created using GUI application

 

(7)  EIAJ 19-inch rack mount size   

  Original technologies 

(1)  Built-in  audio  signal  processing  with  a  high  dynamic  range  based  on  32-bit  floating  point 

operations. Mixing can be performed without being conscious of the internal level diagram. 

(2)  Redundant configuration of audio signal processing and controllers are available 

  Operational safety 

(1)  Power supply in a redundant configuration, allowing for Two AC inputs 

(2)  Applications  that  require  high  reliability  are  supported  with  a  redundant  configuration  of  audio 

signal processing and controller-mounted DSP CARDs (optional). 

(3)  The system uses no advanced OS but is composed based on firmware, realizing high stability and 

quick startup.
