Frequently Asked Questions
What are opto-coupler inputs and why are they used for remote signaling?
Opto-couplers provide electrical isolation between the console and external control devices, eliminating ground loops and preventing damage from electrical surges or mismatched signal grounds.
How many remote control channels does this GPIO card provide?
The ViO GPIO card delivers 16 isolated opto-coupler inputs and 16 isolated SPST relay outputs, giving you 32 channels of remote control switching capability.
What connectors does this switching module use for remote connections?
The card uses dual 37-pin D-type connectors (DB-37), which are standard for professional audio and control equipment. Standard cables with matching connectors connect to external devices.
Can I control video projectors and stage lighting from this card?
Yes, the relay outputs can trigger external control systems for lights, projectors, curtain motors, and other stage equipment via isolated switching. This simplifies complex event automation.
What is the benefit of fully isolated switching?
Full isolation means the console and external equipment are electrically independent, preventing ground-loop hum, protecting against voltage spikes, and ensuring safe operation in sensitive technical environments.
Is this GPIO card suitable for large theater and corporate event installations?
Yes, the GPIO card is ideal for theater automation, broadcast control systems, and corporate event venues where the mixing console needs to trigger multiple external devices precisely.
How is this switching module delivered and installed?
Procure.ae ships the GPIO card across the UAE and GCC on a request-a-quote basis. Installation is straightforward; contact the team for technical guidance on integrating external control equipment.
Can Procure.ae recommend installers for complex automation setups?
Yes, Procure.ae can connect you with local technicians experienced in theater automation and remote control integration for your specific venue and equipment.
Is this a factory-tested option card?
Yes, this ViO GPIO option card is supplied as a tested spare, pre-validated and ready for direct installation into Vi Series consoles.
What does this switching module include?
You receive the ViO GPIO card only. DB-37 cables and external control interface equipment must be ordered separately.
What warranty covers this GPIO option card?
