Xperience platform
All of Nexmosphere’s controllers are built on the same platform principles. If this is your rst time using a Nexmosphere
controller, we recommend to rst read https://nexmosphere.com/technology/xperience-platform/ to learn the basics about
our platform and its terminology.
XC-941
The XC-941 is an Xperience controller with 1 analog audio input,
4 audio switches and 8 X-talk interfaces:
1. X-talk interface 001 5. X-talk interface 005
2. X-talk interface 002 6. X-talk interface 006
3. X-talk interface 003 7. X-talk interface 007
4. X-talk interface 004 8. X-talk interface 008
111. Audio switch 1
112. Audio switch 2
113. Audio switch 3
114. Audio switch 4
IN. Analog audio input
USB. API interface (micro-USB connector)
LED. White status LED
DC. 12-24VDC Power input (2.1mm DC socket)
Hardware setup
1. Connect one or more Elements to any of the 8 X-talk interfaces.
2. Connect an audio source to the analog audio input using an audio cable with 3.5mm jack connector.
3. Connect one or more speaker to any of the audio switches using an audio cable with 3.5mm jack connector.
4. Connect the 12 or 24VDC power supply to the DC power input connector.
5. Connect the micro-USB cable to a 3rd party device (e.g. Digital Signage Player or PC).
6. Wait until the white status LED stops blinking. This lasts about 5 seconds.
Software setup for testing (Terminal)
Typically, the XC-941 controller is connected to a 3rd party device, such as a Digital Signage Player, on which CMS software is installed that has built-in
functionality for sending and receiving Serial Events. However, if you want to do a rst test on a PC or Mac, follow the instructions below:
1. Download a terminal program. For example Termite, Hercules or SerialTools.
2. Open the Terminal program and go to settings. Choose the COM port on which the XC-941 controller enumerated*.
In most cases this is the highest available number in the COM port drop-down setting.
3. Set the COM port settings to the following values
Baudrate 115200 Flow Control None
Parity None EOL CR+LF
Data Bits 8 Protocol ASCII
Stop Bits 1
4. Set the COM port to “Open”. The controller is now ready for use.
5. When sending consecutive API serial commands to the XC-941 controller, place a 50mS delay between each command.
*In case the XC-941 controller is not recognized as a COM port by the 3rd party device, a driver (Prolic PL2303) can be downloaded here.
