Nixer RP64 – Rack Mount 64×64 AoIP Matrix (Ravenna Version) Nixer

64 input, 64 output patch unit, front panel display.

Based on the latest Nixer audio processor, the RP64 is a 64 input to 64 output digital Audio over IP ‘patch’ panel. Using an intuitive interface, it is possible to connect any input to any output. This facilitates the quick and easy repatching of critical signals without the need of having to use a laptop and Dante Controller and the inherent delays this brings. The RP64 patching reconnection is near instantaneous.

Features:

• Simple and Intuitive Operation to rapidly route critical signals from a dedicated operator/engineering position in the event of equipment failure
• 64 inputs, 64 outputs (@ 48kHz)
• No external laptop and cumbersome software patching
• Near instantaneous audio switching
• Large colour LCD touchscreen for quick and easy re-patching of critical signals
• Reset and recall route status from memory
• Compact 1RU design (less than 120mm deep) for deployment in any frame, desk or custom location
• PoE power or via external DC input for power redundancy
• Primary and Secondary network ports
• OSC control via RJ45 (under development, contact Sales for further information).
• Dante and Ravenna Versions available (Specified at time of purchase)

The RP64 is operated and controlled via the large letterbox 6.6″ diagonal (168mm) 1440 x 240 24-bit colour LCD and capacitive touch panel. A simple and elegant menu system has been designed to be intuitive to navigate allowing the user to access all the features of the RP64 unit very quickly. The high-resolution screen is easy to read presenting comprehensive metering, routing and status information to the user.

Firmware updates of the RP64 are achieved via a dedicated USB micro AB connector on the front panel.

On the rear of the RP64 unit there is a Primary and Secondary port for the AoIP input. The Control RJ45 allows the RP64 to remotely controlled via OSC. The Remote RJ45 is a bespoke remote control port for additional accessories (note it is not compatible with ethernet).

The RP64 can be powered via PoE on the Primary port and/or via the 2.5mm DC input connectors requiring 24V @ 2A. The DC input also have a screw lock to prevent accidental unplugging. Using both the PoE and the DC inout provides redundancy. The optional NIX00583 or the NIX00629 can be used to power the RS64 in the absence of PoE.
