ClearOne GPIO Expander for Converge Pro 2
GPIO Expander
The GPIO Expander expands the GPIO capability of a CONVERGE Pro 2 mixer by providing an additional 12 input and 12 output pins.
ClearOne GPIO Expander for Converge pro 2 in UAE – Features
This device gives integrators flexible connections to program LED activations on the microphones, trigger third-party devices; and trigger presets based on room configuration, such as combine/divide. The GPIO expander can be daisy-chained with other P-Link peripheral devices such as the Beamforming Mic Array 2, DIALOG 20 Receiver, and USB Expander. It can also be used as a P-Link distance extender.
- Can be used to activate LED on mics, trigger macros and presets, activate camera tracking, and activate global mute.
- Can be placed up to 200’ (60m) from CP2 or other P-link devices, extending a P-link chain.
- P-link or PoE Injector for power and Serial connection for control interface.
- Can daisy-chain up to three GPIO expanders per CP2, and can also be daisy-chained with other P-link devices.
- Compact form factor and flexible mounting (rack, under-table, wall, or ceiling).
