Stage Tech is launching software release V5.28 for its Nexus audio systems, which means Nexus systems can now be upgraded to more than double the size possible previously. Until now, the number of Base Devices was capped at 31. The audio network can manage up to 64,000 I/Os. The software release will be available at the end of the second quarter.

“Many Nexus systems are already being deployed to connect entire complexes, such as broadcast facilities and film production studios,” explains Alexander Nemes, sales manager at Stage Tec, adding, “Scalability has been doubled yet again – sufficient for any currently conceivable network!”
By combining an enhanced number of Base Devices with the recently increased capacity of Nexus fiber-optic lines, it has become possible to upgrade new and existing systems to create truly large-scale networks. The fiber-optic cables joining the base devices cover great distances, turning the network into the link between rooms, buildings, and in the future even cities.
Nexus works with an internal bus system based on time division multiplexing and provides a wide range of I/O options, including IP technology. The system’s functionality goes far beyond that of a pure audio router. It handles control tasks, switches external signals transparently through the network, performs DSP functions and offers many extra features. Since its inception, Stage Tec has been continuously developing the system, with the result that it is capable of much, much more than was even conceivable when it was launched. Even the oldest legacy systems can be upgraded, and today’s Nexus is fully backward compatible.
Nexus won the Primetime Engineering Award Emmy in 2010. The official announcement at the award ceremony lauded Nexus as the finest, most versatile audio routing system available today.
The software release V5.28 will be available at the end of the second quarter.
