  • 8 contact closure inputs for triggering events from external devices (e.g., sensors or switches).
  • 8 low-voltage outputs for controlling external equipment (e.g., relays or LEDs).
  • RS-232 serial port for integration with other control systems.
  • Three MIDI ports (input, output, and through) for interfacing with MIDI equipment, ideal for show control in live performances.
• Network Connectivity: Ethernet-based control with a web-based “live” interface for programming and operation from any device, plus support for UDP, Telnet, and HTTP protocols.
• User Interface: Customizable LCD display, menu navigation buttons, and 6 programmable function buttons with LEDs on the front panel for quick access to cues or macros.
• Memory and Storage: Onboard storage for cues, shows, and scripts, with SD card slot for expanded storage or firmware updates.
• Construction: Compact 1U rack-mounted enclosure (19-inch rack, 1.75 inches high), built for durability in professional environments.
• Applications: Ideal for theatrical productions, concert lighting, architectural installations, theme parks, and permanent lighting setups requiring automated control.
