Gio

Bring everything onto the network.

GIO

Bring everything onto the network.

Everything's better connected.

Networked AV allows you to leverage standard network infrastructure to route audio and video signals across your facility. Bringing ease, flexibility and the ability to scale, networked AV is the backbone of superior user experiences with centralized monitoring and management. Xilica’s Gio Series bridges the gap between consumer peripherals, computers and analog audio equipment, allowing networked AV to be end-to-end.

Gio USB

Blend the flexibility of BYOM with the quality of an installed room system. Gio USB is a surface-mount USB-to-Dante endpoint, designed to bridge the gap between IT and AV by bringing laptops and UC appliances onto the installed network. Gio USB enables easy networked processing topographies in multi-room deployments that dramatically reduce processing cost in large installations.

Supporting hybrid work and BYOM, Gio USB offers driverless compatibility with leading soft-codec platforms, including two-way volume and mute sync for Microsoft Teams, allowing control of audio over HID and eliminating dedicated in-room audio controls. Easy to install with a single CatX cable and PoE to IEEE 802.3af, Gio USB mounts discreetly for flexible positioning near the room PC or conference table.

Key Features

USB-to-Dante endpoint; designed to transmit audio back-and-forth over an installed IT network.

Installs under the table or behind a display with small format, integrated mounting.

Compatible with all UC platforms, including device status sync for Microsoft Teams.

Benefits of Gio USB

Locate USB connections where your device is, enabling hybrid working and BYOM for employee peripherals such as laptops, or fewer cables from in-room PCs.

Centralize your processing stack by transporting audio between room and datacenter over the network, splitting cost across multiple rooms for significant savings.

5m+

Extend the distance limitations of traditional USB cables with easy-to-install CatX cable.

Gio Bluetooth

Extend your networked AV system to BYOD devices, with the Gio Bluetooth® in-wall module. Leveraging the extended range and exceptional quality of Bluetooth 5.0 Class 1 technology, Gio Bluetooth connects personal peripherals such as smartphones, iPads and laptops to an in-room AV system with IT management functionality. Gio Bluetooth installs into a single-gang with just one CatX cable for both power and data, and offers installer-configurable device naming, PIN security and advanced pairing options.

Optimized for conferencing, Gio Bluetooth lets room users pair their cellphone with the installed AV system to offer two-way audio that can benefit from HearClear™ AEC, voice-lift, and Xilica noise reduction technologies¹. With configurable functionality including priority pair and auto-disconnection to prevent accidental pairing in busy office facilities, Gio Bluetooth is ideal for the enterprise. Its connectivity state can be controlled remotely through XTouch touchscreens and third-party systems² such as Crestron®, AMX®.
