1U Panel with 24 user-programmable keys and displays.
The Penta 615 Remote Control Panels are designed for remote control of the Penta 720/721s, DAD AX32 and DAD DX32R either through a direct connection or in combination with the 635 Router Controller.
Direct Control Mode
The Penta 615 Control Panel will communicate directly with the Penta Audio Router via Direct Control Mode (DCM), i.e. there is no need for any further devices or software. The DCM mode is ideal for small and simple router solutions based on manual control. This can be for example be router solutions where only occasional routing is required or for confidence monitoring solutions. Each key is programmed for a certain function such as source select, output select or crosspoint select.
The following functions are supported:
- Route input channel(s) to output channel(s)
- Digital gain control on outputs, e.g. for volume control
- Analogue input control, mic pre gain, phantom power, mic/line switching
In addition to these commands that are specific for the Penta, there are also some system commands such as key colour, display text/graphics, shift function, etc. providing a relatively elaborate programming capability. A solution can be based on one or more control panels so it is even possible to have multiple user stations to control one unit.
Power
All panels can be powered via PoE or from an included power adapter.
Applications
The Penta 615 Control Panels can be used in a wide variety of applications.
