Broadcast Devices Inc. will introduce the IOX-24S SNMP Remote Control and Channel Expander at the NAB Show.
It describes this as a flexible I/O platform to simplify remote monitoring and control in broadcast transmission and studio environments.
“The IOX-24S can operate either as a standalone SNMP remote control system or as a channel expansion panel for any SNMP-compatible remote control platform,” it said.
“This dual-purpose design allows broadcasters to deploy the IOX-24S as a primary control solution for smaller facilities or use it to add control, status and analog metering capacity to existing remote control systems without replacing installed infrastructure.”
In a single rack-mount chassis, the IOX-24S provides 24 Form C control relays, 24 status inputs and eight analog inputs to support a range of broadcast control and monitoring applications.
“The unit operates as an SNMPv2 agent and is supplied with an SNMP MIB, enabling straightforward integration with modern network-based remote control and monitoring systems.”
For local operation, BDI supplies a Windows-based graphical user interface that allows control and status monitoring over standard IP networks.
The IOX-24S supports power from standard AC mains or Power over Ethernet (PoE). The Windows application can manage multiple IOX-24S panels simultaneously; BDI says this makes it practical for distributed facilities with multiple transmitter or studio locations.
The IOX-24S is plug-and-play compatible with BDI SWP-200 Series switch controllers and SWP-300 remote control products via a serial connection, expanding their available control, status, and metering channels.
Typical applications include transmitter sites, studio technical operations centers, remote radar or weather sites, and auxiliary broadcast facilities.
