It has 10 configurable GPIO’s, 8 of which can be used for PTP based programming, together with a relay. It provides virtual GPIO that allow the device to trigger or be triggered by other Sonifex devices on the network using virtual GPIO without the need for extra wiring (virtual GPIO communication occurs via the ethernet connection). Units can either be interfaced together across a network, or you can use Ember+ and UDP commands to accept commands from, or drive, the AVN-GPIO. The AVN-GPIO is a PTP (Precision Time Protocol) enabled GPIO device. IEEE1588-2008 PTPv2 is used to keep a hardware clock in sync with a PTP master, such as the AVN-GMCS Grandmaster Clock, to achieve a sub 10ns synchronisation to the master reference. This means that the AVN-GPIO can be used to accurately timestamp input events and to trigger outputs at configured times. The AVN-GPIO supports Default and AES67 Media profiles, and also provides a Custom profile which can be configured by the user. The device is configured via a built-in webserver. This allows the configuration of PTP as well as live monitoring of its status. A GPIO routing webpage is provided which allows physical, timed, and virtual inputs to be routed to physical, timed, and virtual outputs. The AVN-GPIO provides a simple UDP messaging system that allows other devices on the network to query the device status information, for example to retrieve the time at which an input change occurred. Custom applications can also be written to query this information via UDP. The device has 8 ‘timed’ GPIOs – when used as inputs these can detect the rising and falling edges and will generate a timestamp synced to the hardware PTP clock. This means that the recorded timestamps will be synced within 10ns of the PTP master in a correctly setup system. When setup as outputs, a signal can be generated precisely at a time chosen by you and the time at which the output toggles can be configured, down to the nanosecond. Alternatively, these timed GPIOs can be configured to act as ‘normal’ GPIOs depending on your application. There are also two ‘normal’ GPIOs. When normal GPIOs are configured as inputs they can be set to either momentary or latching mode. When setup as outputs, they pull the signal on the GPO pin down to ground when active. The AVN-GPIO has a voltage free relay contact that can be used to operate external equipment, and also provides 6 x DC output voltage pins that can be used to power external equipment such as signage and various sensors and actuators. When powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) the AVN-GPIO outputs 12V at 500mA total on these pins. When powered via the DC input, (AVN-DC024), the AVN-GPIO provides 12V at 1.5A total on these pins. The DC outputs are fused to prevent drawing more current than the device can provide and these fuses are automatically reset when the device is power cycled. It is housed in a rugged aluminium enclosure with provisions for desk mounting, and an optional accessory, AVN-DIORK, allows multiple units to be installed on a 19″ rack-mount shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 assignable GPIOs, 8 of which are PTP enabled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTPv2 keeps the hardware clock in sync with a PTP master to achieve a sub 10ns accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle voltage free relay contact to operate external equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirtual GPIO for sending physical GPIO action commands across a network.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA single cable can be used for both power and control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe built-in webserver makes the AVN-GPIO easy to configure and allows it to be controlled by any device with a web browser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt can provide power to other devices via DC outputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses Ember+ and UDP for communication, allowing programs to be written to interface with it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA PTP synced hardware clock ensures that when recording input events, even from two AVN-GPIOs a large distance away from each other, the timings are highly accurate (\u0026lt;10ns) with respect to one-another.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt allows highly accurate activation of outputs - two outputs kilometres away from each other could be triggered with only a few nanoseconds difference when PTP syncedPowered via PoE (Power over Ethernet).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1U rack-mount option with the AVN-DIORK.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit can be used to control on-air studio lights.
