iDR -In & -Out EXPANDERS
iDR-IniDR-Out
iDR-8 and iDR-4 can happily manage many complete systems with their existing input/output architecture
standing alone. However, for larger systems, iDR-In and iDR-Out audio expander units are available, providing
an additional 8 mic/line inputs on XLR and 8 line outputs (also on XLR) respectively. One or both
expanders may be connected to a single iDR main unit.
These audio expanders convert the analogue audio to an 8 channel wide digital bus which feeds the main iDR unit,
which can be up to 250 metres away, via CAT5 STP cable. iDR-In features high grade mic/line preamps with PC
configured gain, pad and phantom power switching via DR-Link, and a built-in soft clip, while iDR-Out provides
electronically balanced differential outputs. Both units have 8 front panel LEDs in addition to the 3 status indicators;
these are 3-colour soft LEDs which can be assigned as audio meters, mute indicators or presets related indicators
and are programmed in the usual way using the
iDR System Manager software.
Example Combinations:
iDR CONTROL
A glance at the iDR back panel reveals the scope of iDR’s control capabilities. iDR can communicate with
many forms of equipment utilising industry standard communication protocols. For example, iDR-switch
units, iDR-in and iDR-out expanders, third party controllers, PL Series ‘intelligent’ wall plates, MIDI show
controllers, PCs, networks and modems. Up to 4 communications ports can be used at once - network
and DR-link ports are always available, with two more selected from RS232, Sys-Net, MIDI and PL-Anet.
Rear panel LEDs clearly indicate active ports for rapid communication status checking.
COMMUNICATIONS PORTS - iDR System
permanent protocols connections protocol type uses
Network Network control and communication between computers,
connection of iDR System Manager, PL-Designer and
PL-Client. Connection to the internet for remote
management and control purposes
DR-Link Links the iDR-In and iDR-Out audio expanders and
iDR-Switch to the iDR units for logic control.
2 of 4 protocols selectable from software
Sys-Net For third party controllers such as: AMX, Crestron, Cue,
Audace and many more. Touch screens, Infr-red devices
etc can be utilised with iDR.
RS232 For connecting iDR to a phoneline for remote connection,
management and operation
(PPP = Point to Point Protocol).
RS232 Front
Used to update the system code in the unit
(iDR-8 only)
MIDI For Remote Control using standard MIDI interfacing
(iDR-8 only) equipment. Custom remote controllers, show control,
MIDI conversion equipment (e.g. MIDI to DMX) to
control external equipment (e.g. lighting)
PL-Anet PL-Anet is an RS485-based protocol incorporating 20V
phantom powering for the ALLEN&HEATH self detecting
and self powered PL Range of remote controllers.
