The Biamp Tesira EX-UBT is a PoE+ powered AVB/USB expander for Tesira systems. It carries up to 8 channels of 48kHz USB audio over runs longer than the 5-metre USB cable limit, and adds Bluetooth 4.2 for cable-free teleconferencing and background music. It suits conference rooms and multipurpose spaces in Doha that need reliable USB audio without long cable runs from the DSP.
What the Tesira EX-UBT does in a Tesira system
The EX-UBT is an AVB/USB expander built for Biamp Tesira systems. Its main job is to keep digital audio flowing over USB where the distance between the DSP and the USB device is longer than the 5-metre maximum that a USB cable normally allows. Installers who currently rely on USB extenders can use it to maintain reliable digital audio I/O over that longer run.
It also suits rooms that need several USB audio inputs. It can retrofit older Tesira installations that have no USB audio capability, including systems built around Tesira SERVER or SERVER-IO as the DSP.
Specifications that matter for planning
- Audio: up to 8 channels of configurable USB audio, 16-bit or 24-bit, at a 48kHz sample rate.
- Power: PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 2, 7W) delivered over an RJ-45 Ethernet connection using CAT5e cable or better.
- Wireless: Bluetooth 4.2, Class 2, Bluetooth Classic mode, operating in the 2,402 to 2,480 MHz band with a wireless range of up to 100 feet (30 m).
- Profiles and codecs: Hands-Free Profile 1.7 and Advanced Audio Distribution Profile 1.3, with mSBC, SBC, AAC and aptX codecs.
- Size and weight: 64 mm wide, 24 mm high, 106 mm deep, and 0.1 kg.
Bluetooth for cable-free audio in meeting rooms
Bluetooth is configured through Tesira software and gives the room a wireless audio path. Typical uses include teleconferencing with soft codecs or a mobile phone, and playing background music through the Tesira system. Two LED indicators show power and wireless status, so a technician can confirm at handover that both are working.
Where it fits in Qatar
- A conference room at a university or training centre in Education City, where the PC sits in a rack or control room too far from the table for a standard USB audio cable.
- A ministry meeting room in West Bay being retrofitted with USB audio for an existing Tesira SERVER-based system.
- A hotel meeting space in Msheireb with a multipurpose layout that needs background music from the Tesira system alongside conferencing.
Planning the installation
Reserve a PoE+ switch port before ordering, because the unit draws its power from the Ethernet connection. Confirm the cable route is CAT5e or better and measure the USB distance it has to cover. The ambient operating range is 0 to 40°C with 0 to 95% non-condensing humidity, and the altitude rating is 0 to 3,000 m. Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45°C, so the unit should sit inside an air-conditioned room or cabinet that keeps it within that range. Confirm the location with the SmartRooms Qatar team before fixing it.
