Model 395 GPO Interface

Order Code: M395 (found on the Dante Products price list)

The Model 395 GPO Interface supports two general-purpose output (GPO) signals for a range of applications. The unit is housed in a lightweight, aluminum, tabletop enclosure. A 100BASE-TX (100 Mb/s) Ethernet interface is used to provide both data and Power over Ethernet (PoE) power. Utilizes Dante® audio-over-Ethernet media networking technology and is configured using the STcontroller application.

Description & Applications:
Provides two general-purpose outputs (GPO) that respond to the presence of high-frequency audio signals in associated Dante receiver (input) channels. GPO functions can also be enabled using front-panel pushbutton switches, by way of software-controlled “virtual” pushbutton switches, or network-associated UDP commands. GPO functions can be configured as logic (current sink) or DC voltage outputs. Model 395 units can be utilized in broadcast, theater, industrial, and aerospace applications
