Plixus MME Dante

Plixus Multimedia Engine

Vital Functions in a Beautiful Form
The Plixus MME follows the same design philosophy as other Plixus compliant devices: a minimalistic user interface offers direct access to a number of vital functions. This makes control of the system easy and intuitive for the most common functionality. A set of distinctive, yet unobtrusive handles gives the central equipment a sleek look. A touch of brushed aluminum combined with a captivating red glow underlines the unit’s exclusivity and makes it blend in with the Televic product family.

All in One Cat 5e Cable
The Plixus MME has four Gigabit conference ports. A single Cat 5e network cable interconnects the delegate units in daisy-chain or in closed loop for extra redundancy using Televic’s patented Dual Branch technology. This standard cable transports high-quality audio, 1080p HD low latency video, and even data for document viewing.

Effortless Single-frame Delay Video
The HD-SDI video input on the central unit can bring HD video to each of the delegates in your meeting. The Plixus network offers minimal network delay (less than 1 frame) in order to preserve lip-sync, an absolute requirement for live situations. Thanks to this technological innovation there is no longer a complex set-up required to distribute HD live video in the conference room.

Web Server with User-friendly Interface
A built-in web server makes controlling meetings simple. It’s as easy as browsing to the Plixus Core web page and getting started. With a user-friendly interface, controlling and configuring Plixus becomes a joy. From initialization and microphone management to interpretation channels, audio routing and camera control. You can even monitor the status of your network using the built-in Diagnostics application (More advanced functions such as Voting, Agenda Management, etc. require dedicated licenses.)

CoCon: Meeting Controls at Your Fingertips
The CoCon management software allows fine-grained control over every aspect of the meeting from basic discussion, over complex voting to video and document management. The software connects the LAN connection on the central unit.

Dante™: Simple Third-party Interfacing
To interface with third-party equipment, the Plixus multimedia engine includes a Dante™ audio networking card. As a result, the Plixus conference system can easily interconnect to Dante™-enabled devices such as DSPs, audio mixers or recording devices. Through the Dante™ controller software, the audio can then be routed between any Dante™ enabled device that is available on the network.

Smarter Grouping & Processing
In terms of audio signal processing, the central unit is capable to adjust the microphone sensitivity for each individual microphone via the webserver application. Several microphones can also be combined into one group and provided as an output towards the Dante™ interface. This opens up a host of features such as distributed echo cancellation, room equalization, or even recording different audio channels in court applications. An integrated dynamics processor with a programmable threshold, ratio, attack and release of noise gate, AGC, and limiter functions is also available to process the audio in function of the environment.

Analog Out & Power
The Plixus MME also provides analog interfacing to the outside world. It supplies 1 balanced and 2 unbalanced inputs and 1 balanced and 2 unbalanced outputs. Finally, the unit has an integrated 400 W power supply. A connector is provided at the back of the engine to power conference equipment that requires external power.
