The PRU basically serves as a audio router with up to 4 interfaces with 64 channels each in a 19"/1RU case. Every single input can be routed to one or many outputs using the EmBER+ interface. For each of the 4 interfaces the protocol can be chosen to be either Dante (Audinate's Brooklyn II) or SMPTE-2110 (Ross Video's Liberty). The built-in sample rate converters allow therefore up to 4 independently synchonized clock domains to be connected to the PRU. Using two of each module type, a 128-channel bridge between Dante and SMPTE-2110 can be formed. Optionally PRU can be extended by a central intercom matrix. The 256x256 matrix is fully equipped with summing and level adjusting features.
With the GPIO module (GPM) GPIO signals can be attached to a Dante network. In potential free configuration 4 in and out can be used, in refrerence to a common potential up to 8 GPI / GPO's are available. The module is PoE powered (13W).
The headset module (HSM) enables an attachment of a stereo headset into a Dante network. Either dynamic or electret microphones can be used. The headphone power level can be individually adjusted for left and right channel. With a power boost switch an additional gain of 9dB can be set for noisy environments. The module is PoE powered (13W).
The PSP-R is a rack-mountable (19"/2RU) variant and the biggest user interface in the PicaPi series. Equipped with two wide-angle TFT touch displays it is possible to do intercom calls and using apps at the same time. The internal wideband speaker is powerful enough to be heard also in a noisy environment. The PSP-R offers two GbE network connectors, one of which can serve as a PoE power source.
The PSP-T is the smallest subscriber panel of the PicaPi series. With its low profile of 32mm it can easily built into a table plate. It gets powered over Ethernet (PoE / 13W) and is equipped with internal microphone and speaker.
The PSP-D is a desktop subscriber panel. Besides the RGB illuminated rotary switches, the PSP-D is also equipped with dual GbE PoE powered network connectors, an internal speaker, a stereo headset interface and a 48V phantom powered microphone input. With their HiQ audio interfaces the PSP-D can also be used for voice-over or as a commentary unit
Third party applications that use Dante Ready™ allow customers to purchase and activate Dante audio channels after installation using the Dante Activator tool in Dante Controller 4.5 or higher. Dante Activator is tied to an active Audinate user account and accepts standard credit card payments.
