Description
Serial control 16 trigger Plus input/ 16 dry relay output device
The Broadcast Tools® SRC-16 Plus is a computer interface to the real world. Connection through an RS-232 serial port the SRC-16 can notify your PC software program that any of 16 optically isolated inputs has been opened or closed and allows your software to control sixteen SPDT, 1-amp relays. Optional external USB capabilities may be added for those users who don’t have RS-232 com ports available. The SRC-16 Plus is supplied with LED indicators to display input and relay status. Three front panel LED’s display power, serial transmit and receive data. Plug-in euroblock screw terminals are provided for ease of wire installation/removal. The half-rack chassis allows two units to be rack mounted on the optional RA-1 rack shelf.
The SRC 16 is the ideal hardware to add to BSI Simian for users who need to respond to incoming trigger closures and/or send outgoing ‘dry relay’/contact closures.
Perfect for use with multi-session Simian! For those that need a trigger/relay device for each session, multiple SRC 16 Plus devices can be utilized by configuring an SRC 16 Plus for each session.
