What is iDR Switch?
Have you ever wondered how to interface a piece of equipment to either control the audio system or have a function in your audio system control the piece of equipment? With the iDR-Switch it is possible to interface many different systems to an iDR for control of the iDR or to be controlled by the iDR.

Using switch/contact closure inputs and voltage/logic outputs it is possible to interface with any type of equipment.

Applications of the iDR-Switch Unit:

  • Custom Paging Panel
  • Level Controller
  • Theme Park and attraction ride - input and output control
  • Fire Alarm interfacing system
  • Relay switching system
  • Motor interface controller
  • Intruder alarm system
  • Room Divider
 

iDR-switch extends the capability of the iDR-8 and iDR-4 by enabling custom wall plate and remote equipment control. It provides 24 switch closure inputs and 16 logic control outputs which can be custom wired by the installer to suit the application. Up to 3 units can be networked, so providing an iDR unit with 72 switch and 48 logic outputs. The controls are easily programmed using the System Manager software.

Control Functions

When a switch contact closure status is ACTION ON (Pressed) or ACTION OFF (released) various parameters can be controlled within the iDR system:

  • Levels [Up/Down] (Input, Output, Crosspoint, Monitor)
  • Group Levels [Up/Down] (Input, Output, Crosspoint)
  • Mutes [Toggle/On/Off] (Input, Output, Crosspoint, Monitor)
  • Preset Recall [offers all associated functions]
  • Monitor Select [Inputs/Outputs]
  • MIDI Strings - iDR-8 only (a custom MIDI string is sent from the iDR Unit)
Operating Modes
  • Latched Action
  • Press Action
