Product description

ETH-GPI Link Dual converts GPIO contacts to Ethernet and back at double the capacity: 16 opto-isolated inputs and 16 relay outputs on two DB25 connectors for tally, routing and switching. Powered via PoE or 12 V DC.

SKAARHOJ ETH-GPI Link Dual is a networked GPIO bridge and distribution interface for control rooms and OB vans, offering twice the channels of the standard ETH-GPI Link. Sixteen opto-isolated inputs and sixteen relay outputs connect tally lamps, ATEM switchers, AJA KUMO and Grass Valley routers, RCP controllers and other gear without a network interface. The Raw Panel protocol links it easily to Blue Pill Inside devices.

32 GPIO channels in one box

16 inputs and 16 outputs for tally, routing and switching of broadcast equipment over a standard LAN.

16 GPI + 16 GPOOpto-isolated inputsRelay outputs2 × DB25PoE powered

Twice the channels

Two DB25 connectors carry a total of 16 inputs and 16 outputs. A single unit can handle extensive tally signalling or several devices at once.

Safe connection

Inputs are opto-isolated and outputs are relays, so the unit is electrically separated from the connected equipment. It works with open-collector and relay-based devices alike.

Part of the SKAARHOJ ecosystem

The Raw Panel protocol connects ETH-GPI Link Dual to Blue Pill Inside devices. Parameters are set up quickly in UniSketch OS, and Micro-USB is used for updates and manual IP setup.

A must-have in every control room

Where one ETH-GPI Link is not enough, the Dual version handles twice the contacts and saves space and cabling in the control room or OB van.

Wide compatibility

Blackmagic ATEM, AJA KUMO and Grass Valley routers, RCP controllers and tally lamps.

One cable

100M Ethernet with PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at), with a 12 V DC input as an alternative.

Complete package

Supplied with a 12 V power supply, Micro-USB cable and quick start guide.

Built to last

Robust aluminium enclosure for professional use, designed and made in Denmark.
