NCX Network Audio Terminals take Digigram audio processing power out of the computer and put it where you need it. They are creative, reliable, and easy-to-use solutions for background music, listening stations, transportation facilities, and informational/architectural audio installations.

By distributing digital audio data over a standard Ethernet network, NCX Network Audio Terminals dramatically increase the maximum number of audio channels that can be reliably managed by a single computer.

Think of an NCX terminal as a "remote" sound card. Sound cards are typically connected to a computer's internal bus. NCX terminals provide the same audio input/output and processing functions, but are connected to the computer via Ethernet. NCX terminals can be put where you need them and can be hot-plugged and unplugged so changes can be made without shutting your system down.

A networked application can be rapidly assembled. Each terminal is connected to the application-server PC using standard Ethernet (10/100baseT) hubs, switches, and cables. Overall system configuration is performed from the server where the application software resides, while ongoing application control can be from the server, from individual NCX terminals, from any remote computer using IP protocol, or a combination of both. Bi-directional serial communications capabilities are provided on each NCX, permitting source selection, status, and other communication with the server.

The Audio Manager software can manage server-resident Digigram sound cards along with multiple NCX terminals. Digigram can also provide advanced programming tools, such as NCXengine. NCXengine offers the ability to control the functions of multiple NCX networks from one or more control points via LAN, WAN, or Internet. Depending on the NCX model used, each audio terminal can record/encode, play/decode, or is full duplex. Multiple digital audio data streams can be sent to a single NCX for mixing on the audio terminal, helping to minimize CPU requirements on the application server.

Networked NCX audio terminals provide significant benefits beyond standard distributed audio or standalone devices:

A larger number of audio signals
Control from a local or remote locations
Improved audio quality
Compact, versatile enclosures or easy-to-integrate circuit board
Simplicity of installation, configuration, and application management
Greater reliability and flexibility
