GPI

Visual Productions’ GPI (General Purpose Input) interface allows external signals to be connected to VisualDMX and Canvix. Our lighting control programs are then able to be triggered by these signals to create a fully automated lighting control system.

The GPI is intended for fixed installations where our lighting control software can be interconnected to other equipment, mechanical switches or sensors. The GPI is designed with installers and system integrators in mind; it features a DIN-Rail enclosure that allows easy mounting of the unit. All connections have detachable screw-connectors for a quick replacement of the unit.

The GPI features 8 contact-closure input ports and is USB powered. The function of the input ports can be freely programmed within VisualDMX and Canvix, allowing you to trigger any software function.

Additionally, the GPI is fitted with a MIDI and DMX-512 output. The GPI can operate standalone, converting its digital inputs to the industry-standard MIDI and DMX communication signals, making the unit more versatile and allowing it to be used for general automation.
