GPIO

Getting Started Guide

GPIO is a general purpose I/O interface for control integration of an AHM, Avantis

or dLive system and third party hardware. It offers 8 opto-coupled inputs and 8

relay outputs on Phoenix connectors, in addition to two +10V DC outputs.

Up to 8 GPIO modules can be connected to an AHM, Avantis or dLive system

via Cat cable, directly or via a network switch. GPIO functions are programmed

using the AHM System Manager software, dLive Surface / Director software or

Avantis mixer / Director software and can be configured for a number of install

and broadcast applications, including EVAC (alarm / system mute), broadcast

(on air lights, fader start logic) and theatre automation (curtains, lights).

GPIO requires dLive firmware V1.6 or higher.

Application example

Projection

Conference

Inputs from third

party switch panel

Outputs deliver DC for

indicator LEDs on control

panel, and switch closure for

screen, projector and lighting

controller.

Layout and connections

DC input - The unit can be powered by the supplied AC/DC adapter or

alternatively via Cat5 cable when connected to a PoE source.

Use only the power supply provided with the product (ENG

Electric 6A-161WP12, A&H part code AM10314). The use of a

different power supply can cause electrical or fire hazards.

Network Reset - Resets Network settings to the default IP address

192.168.1.75 with subnet 255.255.255.0. Hold down the recessed switch whilst

powering up the unit to reset.

Network socket - PoE IEEE 802.3af-2003 compliant.

Status LEDs –Light to confirm Power, physical connection (Lnk) and

network activity (Act).

Inputs –8x opto-coupled inputs, switching to ground.

Outputs –8x relay outputs and 2x 10V DC outputs. All relay outputs are

normally open by default. Output 1 can be configured to be normally closed as

indicated here:
