NXES104 EXPANSION BOARD, REMOTE CONTROL AND ASIO DRIVERIf you recall a setup from a different family, a confirmation window will appear to preventany mistake. A key combination on the computer keyboard will be then required to confirmthe selection.(24) Virtual front panel sizeIn order to fit on smaller computer screen, you have the possibility to reduce the size ofthe virtual front panel to display all the control of the unit on screen. There are three sizesavailable: Maximized (the whole virtual front panel is displayed), intermediate (only thevirtual LCD display is visible) and minimized (only the part above the LCD is displayed).NXAMP and NXES104 with the ASIO streamerWhat are ASIO / ASIO streamer?ASIO means Audio Stream Input/Output and is protocol designed to exchange audio databetween computers based audio programs and soundcard. Today most of professionalaudio software (referred as “ASIO host” bellow) supports ASIO protocol.The ASIO streamer allows you to send directly four channels of digital audio in 24 bits/48KHz from a PC computer to any NXAMP connected directly or through a local area network.No soundcard or external hardware is needed. Thus the NXAMP can be seen as a “remotesoundcard”.The ASIO streamer works in point to point mode, meaning that a PC computer running theASIO streamer can send audio to one NXAMP only. But on the other hand:1) From a unique NXAMP receiver in ASIO mode, the audio can be send to other NXAMPas well using an Ethersound™ network (NXAMP in daisy chain for example), see ASIOmode above.2) Several pairs of computer/NXAMP can exchange audio data using ASIO streamers on alocal area network at the same time.3) Several computers can be configured to stream audio to the same NXAMP, but cannotsend at the same time; once a computer stop playing audio, it will free the ASIO driver(the audio host software might need to be shut down) thus another computer can usethe driver now.PAGE 94 OF 140
