The TesiraFORTÉ AVB VT is a Biamp conferencing DSP that combines 12 analog inputs, each with acoustic echo cancellation, 8 analog outputs, up to 8 configurable USB audio channels and a 2-channel SIP VoIP interface with an FXO line for existing analog telephony. It suits boardrooms and lecture halls in Doha, West Bay and Education City that run remote participants from abroad. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar.
What the TesiraFORTÉ AVB VT handles in a conference room
The TesiraFORTÉ AVB VT is a fixed input and output digital signal processor that sits between microphones, loudspeakers and the telephone network in a meeting space. Instead of buying a separate VoIP gateway, echo canceller and telephone interface, a room can run these functions from one unit. It belongs to Biamp's Tesira series of conferencing DSPs.
Echo cancellation on every input and a built-in telephone line
All 12 analog inputs carry acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), so each microphone or line source is cleaned before it reaches remote callers. The 2-channel VoIP interface connects over RJ-45 using SIP, while the standard FXO interface on RJ-11 lets an organisation keep an analog telephone line working during a move to IP calling. Input gain runs from 0 to 66 dB in 6 dB steps, with a maximum input level of +24 dBu.
Audio routing, USB and AVB capacity
The unit provides 8 analog outputs, each with selectable maximum output levels from +24 dBu down to -31 dBu, which suits feeds to loudspeakers, recording equipment or an overflow room. Up to 8 USB audio channels can be configured at 16- or 24-bit depth and a 48 kHz sample rate, covering a computer-based conferencing connection. For networked audio, 128 x 128 AVB channels let the DSP join larger distributed systems.
Configuration, control and connections
Routing, EQ, filtering, dynamics and delay are set in Tesira software. Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232 and GPIO ports connect the unit to control processors and room automation, and a two-line OLED display with capacitive-touch navigation shows system information directly on the unit for technicians. The unit is Biamp Workplace Ready, so it can be monitored and managed remotely through the Workplace platform.
Where it fits in Qatar
- A boardroom in West Bay or The Pearl linking local executives with colleagues in Europe or Asia, where echo cancellation on every microphone matters most.
- A university lecture theatre in Education City running a hybrid lecture, with speech routed to a recording feed and an overflow room.
- A government ministry office in Msheireb keeping a legacy analog telephone line alongside a new IP calling system.
What to plan before ordering
The chassis measures 1.75 inches (44 mm) high, 19.0 inches (483 mm) wide and 10.5 inches (267 mm) deep, and weighs 8 lb (3.63 kg), so check the cabinet or shelf space and leave room for cabling. Power consumption is below 35 W on a 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz supply, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. The rated ambient operating range is 0 to 40 °C with 0 to 98% non-condensing humidity, so install the unit in an air-conditioned room rather than a hot cupboard, especially as Qatar summer temperatures outdoors often exceed 45 °C. Phantom power of +48 VDC at 7 mA per input is available for microphones that need it.
