UK - Aviom will launch its AllFrame Multi-Modular I/O System at PLASA 2010. The system replaces traditional analogue I/O boxes with a modular digital solution. It is designed for permanent installations in theatres, schools and conference centres, as well as providing an effective solution for touring and portable live sound applications. The AllFrame system keeps analogue cabling to a minimum by digitising the audio input signal where it connects to the network, reducing system complexity and labour costs while delivering improved performance and flexibility.
The AllFrame requires a single Cat 5e or fibre connection eliminating the need for soldering, terminating, testing scores of analogue connections, installing conduit, and pulling separate cables for each audio signal. The unit can be powered over Cat 5e cable or from a dedicated DC power line. Each AllFrame device supports Cat 5e cable runs between devices of up to 400ft (120m), with no loss of fidelity. With integrated fibre optic connectivity, cable runs can be extended to over a kilometre (multi-mode fibre) or tens of kilometres (single-mode fibre).
As part of Aviom's Pro64 Series, the AllFrame Multi-Modular I/O System provides robust and flexible audio connectivity. Pro64's Auto Mode feature supports any combination of serial and parallel wiring topologies without affecting signal flow and I/O points can be placed anywhere an application requires.
