Beskrivelse
eBOX Hub is a completely new addition to JLCooper’s eBOX family of products. It operates as a central Tally/GPI hub for connecting up to seven additional remote eBOX and eBOX GPI8 units, (eight units total, including the eBOX Hub). It’s ideal for LAN, WAN and Internet control of switchers, cameras, alarms, lights, projectors, commercial insert and other applications that use GPI control, allowing broadcast or networked facilities to control remote locations or distant machine rooms from a facility’s central server.
eBOX and eBOX GPI8 are 10/100 BASE-T (Ethernet) to GPI/Tally hardware interfaces. They act as portals for controlling devices across your facility or across the world. They simplify long distance cabling by using IP addressable, point-to-point architecture, to send control messages over existing 10/100 BASE-T wiring. eBOX Hub connects with up to 7 eBOX and eBOX GPI8 units in a Hub and Spoke Network Configuration.
eBOX units communicate over standard TCP/IP which allows them to be used with any host computer. With TCP/IP, traffic can be routed over internal LANs, wireless LANs, MANs, WANs and over the Internet.
JLCooper’s Developer Documentation provides comprehensive tools for software developers to link Visual Basic, C++, HTML or embedded devices for direct control of any device connected to any eBOX.
eBOX Hub is the Central Core
eBOX Hub works like an eBOX on it’s own. You can think of it as a stand-alone eBOX + 3 eBOX IOs, with no serial ports. It allows networked facilities to control remote facilities from a central control room.
eBOX units are ideal for broadcast television, streaming media networks, multi-room facilities, news production teams, a lert systems, monitor switching or in any audio/video/multimedia studio where remote hosts need to control devices over long distances or via the Web.
eBOX products are directly supported by Chyron Hego, Ensemble Designs, Grass Valley, Harmonic, Imagine Communications, Middleman Software, Newtek, Playbox Neo, Yamaha and others.
*ebox family of products includes Atlas, eBOX, eBOX IO, eBOX GPI8, gBOX, sBOX8D, sBOX8R and the new eBOX Hub.
