Biamp Upgrades Tesira with Improved Compression

Biamp Systems has upgraded its Tesira digital signal processing platform to include two new hardware components and new compression abilities.

The hardware components, the "EX-AEC Expander and the EEC-4 Modular Card for the EX-MOD device," according to a news release, "bring Biamp Sona AEC technology directly to the endpoints for easy and efficient AEC and a greater variety in the way systems can be deployed."

The company has also added multi-channel compression capability and the ability to use compressors in simplified or advanced mode at startup. "A new independent limiter block provides more precise decision-making when choosing blocks needed for the installation," according to a news release.

"By providing the most flexible and scalable AVB networking capabilities in the industry, Tesira 2.1 ensures that there is a Biamp solution for every project and Biamp quality for every budget," said Justin O'Connor, audio product manager at Biamp, in a news release. "With the latest Tesira technology, enterprises can take audio processing from large to super-scaled platforms that provide functionality such as AVB, CobraNet, and Dante in a single Tesira chassis."
