IDA8S
Networkable PAVA system - EN54-16
IDA8S and IDA8SAB
The IDA8S(AB) Slave units provide audio in- and output expansion of the IDA8 Systems using a secured 48-channel audio and data network over CAT5 or fiber optic. Each IDA8S(AB) expands the IDA8 System with an additional 8 audio inputs and outputs, 2 additional security microphone consoles (PSSG2) and security programmable switching contacts.
The Network cards that can be ordered with the unit provide a redundant 48 channels audio and data connection, AteÏs-Net, between one controller and a maximum of 32 IDA8S Slave units in one rack system.
Alternatively, if a greater distance between devices is required, the existing RJ45 redundant connection can be exchanged for the optional Fiber optic NET-L3 cards increasing maximum distance up to 2 km between Controller unit and Slave unit or between Slave units.
The IDA8 Slave units come in two versions:
1. IDA8SAB, 8 balanced 0 dB audio inputs and 8 balanced 0 dB audio outputs, 2 security microphone access points, control inputs and outputs. Optional ATEÏS-Net Secured Audio Network cards are available. BS 5839 compliant with A/B zoning according to the BS5839-part8.
2. IDA8S, 8 balanced 0 dB audio inputs & 8 balanced 0 dB audio outputs, 2 security microphone access points, control inputs and outputs. Optional ATEÏS-Net Secured Audio Network cards are available..
IDA8C and IDA8S(AB) are featuring:
- 8 analogue audio inputs and 8 analogue audio outputs.The outputs have selectable 18 or 20 kHz monitoring signal for end-off-line monitoring or, using defined monitoring windows, individual monitoring with an accuracy of up to 5% of the total line load.
- 8 alarm control inputs and 8 output relays are freely programmable for system actions and priorities can be assigned to these inputs.
- 2 card slots for optional 8 microphone/ line or AES/EBU audio input/output channels. These inputs/outputs are free software configurable.
- Compatibility with the VNB IP-media streamers allowing for additional IP-Audio IN/EXstreamer units, IP-media consoles and IP-Paging consoles.
- The ATEÏS Net Secured Audio Network that is providing a Single or Multi-mode, 48 audio channels, 32bit, 48kHz, redundant network.
- Up to 256 priorities that can be configured for up to 256 zones (512 AB) in the LOCAL Network.
- A system configuration that can connect up to 32 IDA8C with IDA8S(AB)’s over the LOCAL Network allowing a system configuration of up to 32 x 8 zones.
- Independent operation without a PC connected to it.The PC can be disconnected after configuring the system.
- Front panel color touch-screen display and corresponding push buttons, that allows for simple navigation through the various system menus.
- Automatic messaging in the IDA8C Controller unit and IDA8S(AB) Slave units with a capacity of up to 4 hours of WAV format audio files. The audio messages can be uploaded via Ethernet link.
- 4 audio streams that can be activated at the same time and up to 48 in the IDA8 System.
- Message player and messages monitoring.
- Full monitoring starting at the capsule of a microphone console to the end of a loudspeaker line. The external cables connected to the control inputs are monitored for short and open circuit and earth leakage.
- Standard test, alarm and chime-tones are stored in the IDA8C Controller unit and IDA8S (AB) Slave units.
- An internal real time clock for automatic scheduled activities like; playback of messages, automatic volume changes during day and night or background music settings.
- Extensive audio pre and post processing possibilities for audio inputs and audio outputs.
- A monitoring loudspeaker and fireman’s microphone on the IDA8C Controller unit.
- Cost effective solutions using switching mode for multi-zoned amplifier usage.
- Full system redundancy using the IDA8RU redundant switching devices.
