The EX-UBT can transport USB digital audio reliably throughout a customers network. Since the Tesira EX-UBT is not limited by the specification-defined maximum USB connection length of 5 meters, its ideal for installations requiring USB connections not located in a rack or near other equipment, as well as for installations requiring multiple USB audio inputs, or in projects using Tesira SERVER or SERVER-IO as the DSP since they have no on-board USB connection. Powered by PoE, the EX-UBT expander supports up to eight channels of configurable USB audio as well as Bluetooth® wireless technology, which is enabled and configured through the Tesira software. With Bluetooth, the EX-UBT is able to provide a cable-free solution for teleconferencing using soft codecs, continuing a mobile phone call into a meeting room, or for supplying background music such as in a hospitality setting. It is the perfect solution for a variety of room types and sizes that require USB audio, such as conference rooms or multi-purpose spaces.
