The same award winning product, with enhanced connectivity and improved performance.
Pharos is pleased to announce that we are now shipping an updated version of the LPC, incorporating newer technologies already available in our more recently released Controllers and Remote Devices.
The revised Pharos LPC, now shipping!
- The 8 inputs can now be configured as contact closures, digital or analog inputs
- Serial port updated to be a multi-protocol port supporting RS232, RS485 or DMX-in triggering, with an installation-friendly 3-pin connector
- Colour-coded power connector to reduce risk of incorrect plugging
- New output status LED to indicate both DMX and eDMX data
- New indicator LEDs on Ethernet port for network diagnosis
- SD card replaces CF card
Rest assured that the LPC will continue to operate in the same dependable way that you have come to rely on and with the same pricing. It is supported by the new v1.8 release of Pharos Designer software.
New RIOs on the way too!
Expansion Modules have been a great way to extend the capabilities of your LPC but they were not the answer for systems using the LPC X or AVC, which do not support the expansion bus. We are therefore expanding our range of Remote Devices, which currently includes the RIO 80, RIO 44, RIO 08 and BPS. These have been a great success with their more flexible design based around Ethernet and PoE. The updated LPC no longer supports the expansion bus and we will be offering two new RIOs:
- RIO A – Remote Audio Device with stereo audio-in and support for up to 30-band spectrum analysis and enhanced timecode decoding, as well as MIDI in/out
- RIO D – Remote DALI Device supporting both DALI Master and Slave modes
The RIO A will be available early this year, with the RIO D available soon after. Please contact us for more information and pricing on these exciting new remote devices. Note: there will be no direct replacement for the DMX-in module as all our Controllers are now capable of receiving DMX directly.
Lifetime support
Please be assured we will maintain original units for service and replacement needs, and of course will honour our 5 year warranty on all products. We are very excited about these enhancements to the LPC and the new RIOs. As always we welcome your feedback and comments, and please get in touch if you have any questions.
