Use the Allen & Heath GPIO interface for control integration of an AHM-64 processor or dLive/Avantis system with 3rd party hardware. 

The General Purpose I/O Interface (GPIO) from Allen & Heath is an all-purpose network device that enables third-party hardware integration to a dLive, Avantis, or AHM system. The GPIO provides 8 opto-isolated inputs and 8 normally open (N/O) relay outputs on Phoenix connectors, as well as 2x +10V DC outputs. This interface is a great choice for several types of applications, from EVAC (alarm/system mute), broadcast (on-air lights, fader start logic), theater automation (curtains, lights), and much more.

Effortlessly incorporate the GPIO in any size or style of setup. The unit can be operated free-standing on a desktop or tabletop. For more permanent setups, it can be installed in a 19” rack (1U height, one-half width) using optional mounting accessories (sold separately). Use a single Cat5 cable to connect up to 8 GPIO modules to a dLive system directly, or via a 100Mb/s network switch.

The GPIO’s input and output functions are software-assignable using AHM System Manager, dLive Director software (PC or Mac), or via an Avantis mixer or dLive Surface. This interface features a built-in power supply that accepts 12V DC, as well as PoE-compliant (IEEE 802.3af-2003), enabling you to power the interface via a network port from an external switch or PoE injector.

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 several install and broadcast applications, including EVAC (alarm/system mute), broadcast (on-air lights, fader start logic) and theater automation (curtains, lights).

NOTE: GPIO requires dLive firmware V1.6 or higher.
