Neuron Shuffle
With Neuron Shuffle, you can shuffle, mix, gain, and delay thousands of audio channels
With IP based audio formats, like ST2110-30/31 and AES67, the amount of audio channels within a broadcast facility can easily grow into the thousands. Managing which channels belong in which audio streams and shuffling the various channels from one stream to the other is becoming quite a challenge. With Neuron Shuffle, you can shuffle, mix, gain and delay thousands of audio channels.
Neuron Shuffle is a 8192 x 8192 IP audio matrix. It is fully -7 (class D) compatible on both the 128 input streams as well as the 128 output streams and offers the ability to synchronize all these IP streams. Each stream can consist of up to 64 audio channels. Besides this matrix, it offers more functionality, such as: 64 adjustable tone generators, 64 audio analyzers , 32 audio stream input delays of up to 2300ms (optional), Mono channel gain (optional) and in Cerebrum it features a big matrix view for routing individual audio channels.
The Neuron Shuffle runs on the same hardware as the other identities of Neuron (Bridge, Convert, Compress, Protect and View) meaning that whenever your requirements change, you can reuse the hardware for other purposes. Shuffle handles up to 128 streams on a single QSFP28 connector. Optionally Shuffle offers additional audio I/O with 4x MADI licenses (MADI SFPs not included).
Since a 1RU Neuron frame can contain two of these cards, you can have all the above mentioned processing power twice in just 1 rack unit.
