Overview • System Definition • Digital vs. Analog Audio • DVC System Features • DVC Applications
System Definition • ONYX Digital Voice Command [DVC] is NOTIFIER's new digital audio system with: • Audio evacuation • Paging • Firefighter's telephone • Eight channels of quality audio for: • Live emergency paging • Simultaneous broadcasting of multiple stored messages
System Definition • ONYX DVC broadcasts simultaneous, unique messages throughout your entire facility or select designated areas • ONYX DVC provides critical information or instruction in an emergency • ONYX DVC ensures the right people have the right information at the right time during the following: • Smoke • Fire • Intrusion • Chemical spill • Weather event
ONYX DVC System Digital vs. Analog Audio
Digital vs. Analog Audio • What does “Digital” mean? • Audio Messages are transmitted digitally over the Audio Riser • Distortion resistant • Unlimited distribution without signal degradation • Multiplexed single circuit operation • Multiple audio channels with output control
Digital vs. Analog Audio • Analog Source • Analog low-level audio output • Analog Audio is vulnerable to distortion in: • Recording • Signal processing • Line Loss • External Noise induced on cables • Amplifier and transformer non-linearity
Each link of analog voice introduces distortion Analog Voice Diagram Low-Level Audio Hi-Level Audio Message Speakers Control & supervision Message Generator Amplifiers
In digital voice, digital signals are transmitted with negligible distortion. Digital signals are repeated perfectly at each node. Each amplifier starts with a perfect digital signal Exact match to the data stored in the message generator Digital Audio System Basic Building Blocks DVC Message Center DAA Digital Amplifier Digital Voice Command DAA Speakers Digital Voice Diagram

ONYX DVC System Features
True Digital for Unparalleled Clarity • From message storage to amplifier, everything is digital to eliminate distortion • Up to 32 Digital Audio Amplifiers can be connected to a DVC center • Each DAA is configurable as a primary or backup amplifier • DAA is a powerful 50 Watts in either 25 Volt or 70 Volt versions with four outputs per amplifier.
Large Number of Audio Zones • Larger applications can be accommodated with additional DVC centers • Each networked DVC adds support for another 32 DAA series amplifiers • Applications requiring hundreds of zones can be created by networking additional DVC centers over NOTI•FIRE•NET™
Network for Survivability and Scalability • Multiple DVC centers can be networked together with seamless integration into NOTI•FIRE•NET • NOTI•FIRE•NET with DVC provides: • Added survivability and scalability • Multiple command center support • System expansion
Paging Over the Fire Alarm Network • Every DVC has an interface with NOTI•FIRE•NET • One channel audio over NOTI•FIRE•NET allows for network-wide live paging • Allows one DVC center to page over the whole system when multiple DVC centers are networked.
Multiple Paging Options • Preprogrammed multiple paging groups are standard with DVC • New Group Paging Options • Page Active EVAC areas • Page Active ALERT areas • Page Inactive areas • All Call • Option to page Inactive Areas to simply notify occupants of a potential emergency. Each group of occupants receives customized information
Firefighter’s Telephone • Up to five channels of simultaneous Firefighter's Telephone operation • Crucial scene assessment information can be gathered more quickly for: • Improved response efforts • Increased safety of both building occupants and fire service personnel
Large Memory Capacity • Memory capacity of up to 1000 audio sequences storage • 16 minutes standard of stored audio messages expandable to 32 minutes • Store customized audio sequences for any potential emergency/evacuation messages.
Customized Audio Messages • Comes with a standard library of messages • Message library speeds installation and simplifies maintenance • Record, edit, and distribute your own custom messages or tones as standard .WAV format audio files • No more locked-down libraries and no need to change memory chips
Microphone Options • Local paging microphone option and Remote Microphone (RM-1) option. • Flexibility to page on site or from remote location to further enhance communications and life safety.
Backup Alarm • Alarm Bus backup activation in the event of communication loss between (DAA) and DVC center. • Two minute backup message storage • Alarm Bus initiates backup Emergency Message
