ETH-GPI Link
Networked GPIO Bridge and Distribution Interface
A must-have in any control room and OB van/truck. Designed to seamlessly connect and control a wide range of broadcast devices. Featuring 8 general purpose inputs and 8 general purpose outputs, this versatile converter offers precise control over signal routing, tally control, switching, utility and integration with popular systems like Blackmagic ATEM switchers, AJA KUMO and Grass Valley Routers, RCP controllers, tally lamps and many more. ETH-GPI can be also used as GPIO extension and distribution over standard LAN network.
Seamless Integration for Broadcast Excellence
Make your custom control or tally using our networked GPIO contacts. Experience unparalleled connectivity with the Skaarhoj ETH-GPI Link, your go-to solution for interfacing broadcast devices with precision and ease. Designed to support a variety of production environments, the ETH-GPI Link ensures that your tally lamps, switchers, routers, recorders, converters, and other devices operate in perfect harmony.
Versatile Connectivity Capabilities
No matter your setup, the ETH-GPI Link adapts to your needs. Route signals from Panasonic AW-RP controllers to Blackmagic ATEM switchers, manage video inputs/outputs on VideoHub routers, and ensure smooth transitions and routing based on specific production requirements. Use SKAARHOJ IP-based panels for bi-directional communication with non-Ethernet devices via the GPIO port. Control legacy equipment by converting analog GPI signals to and from Ethernet, or simply interface two (or more) devices in different geographic locations.
Robust Connectivity and Build Quality
Built with top-tier materials, the ETH-GPI Link includes dual DB25 connectors for its GPI/GPO ports, ensuring durable and dependable connections. With Ethernet support, including Power over Ethernet (PoE), the device minimizes cable clutter and maximizes operational efficiency, supports remote workflows and establishes communication between new and legacy devices.
