Product Overview 
The DAXI is an accessory for the Cisco DSAN System that converts up to four analog 
video channels to digital format for distribution via the DSAN. 
The DAXI provides baseband video and audio conversion to MPEG-2 Transport 
Stream (TS). The output is carried over one Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) 
channel at 270 Mbps to the DSAN Aux1 or Aux2 input port. The content that the 
DAXI converts can come from external sources such as a DVD player, analog 
security camera, or character generator. 
 
 
 
The DAXI is targeted for indoor applications. It is simple to install and requires no 
maintenance or remote management. It can be mounted on a rack, wall, or shelf. 
The DAXI accepts four analog baseband video composite signals over RCA jacks, 
and their corresponding analog stereo baseband audio signals over female RCA 
connectors. The DAXI also provides one standard ASI output on an F jack connector. 
The DAXI is powered by an external power supply at +12 VDC.
