Provides flexible connections to program LED activations on the microphones, trigger third-party devices; and trigger presets based on room configuration, such as combine/divide.

Key Highlights

  • Can be used to activate LED on mics, trigger macros and presets, activate camera tracking, and activate global mute.
  • Can daisy-chain up to three GPIO expanders per CP2, and can also be daisy-chained with other P-link devices.
  • Can be placed up to 200’ (60m) from CP2 or other P-link devices, extending a P-link chain.
  • Compact form factor and flexible mounting (rack, under-table, wall, or ceiling).
  • P-link or PoE Injector for power and Serial connection for control interface.

Applications

  • Activate LED on microphones
  • Trigger macros and/or presets
  • Activate camera tracking
  • Activate global mute with master button
