Introducing the companion to the eBox, the eBOX io. The eBOX io converts 8 GPI outputs to electrically isolated, relay outputs. The eBOX io also accepts 8 GPI inputs via optoisolated inputs. All connections are made on the rear panel via high density screw terminals. Up to 3 eBOX io’s can be cascaded to convert all 24 eBOX GPI inputs and outputs. Front panel LEDs indicate status for easy troubleshooting. eBOX io is a half rack unit and fits alongside eBox in a single rack space.

eBOX is a 10/100BASE-T (Ethernet) to Quad RS-232/422 (9-Pin) and GPI hard- ware interface. It acts as a portal for controlling devices across your facility or across the world.

It eliminates information bottlenecks and overcomes distance limitations typically inherent to serial communication.

It simplifies long distance cabling by using IP addressable, point-to-point architecture to send control messages over existing 10/100 BASE-T wiring.

eBOX features four serial connectors, activity LED’s, 24 GPI Inputs and 24 GPI Outputs as a standard feature (General Purpose Interface - facilitates switch closure control).

It’s ideal for LAN, WAN and Internet control of VTRs, DDRs, switchers, computer based editing systems, cameras, projectors and other devices that use RS-232/422 (9- Pin) and GPI.

Commands from a host NLE, Browser or RS-422 switcher/controller are directed to individual devices on the network.

This allows broadcast or networked facilities to control distanced machine rooms from a facility’s central server.

eBOX is ideal for broadcast television, streaming media networks, multi-room editing facilities, news production or in any audio/video/multimedia studio where remote hosts need to control devices over long distances or via the Web.

Host to eBOX, eBOX to host and eBOX to eBOX communication is possible. An unlimited number of units can be addressed.

JLCooper’s SDK 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 converts 4 serial ports and 24 GPI (General Purpose Interface) inputs and 24 GPI outputs to 100/10baseT Ethernet.

The serial ports can be configured in the field to appear as EIA/TIA RS- 232E and CCITT V.28 or as EIA/TIA RS-422A, RS-423 and Federal Stan- dards 1020 & 1030 ports. Additionally, the port direction can independently be configured as DTE or DCE.

eBox communicates over standard TCP/IP which allows it to be used with any host computer. With TCP/IP, traffic can be routed over internal LANs, wireless LANs, MANs, WANs and even over the Internet.

Configuration is accomplished through a web page server built into the eBox. Items such as port speed, parity, IP address, remote IP address and TCP port are set using a standard web browser. Settings are stored in nonvolatile memory.

Typically, the eBox functions as a server, passively waiting for client devices to connect to it. The device can be a computer or another eBox configured as a client. When the eBox is configured as a client, it will actively attempt to connect to the server eBox. Once accomplished, eBox will then pass data received in the serial or GPI ports to the remote eBox. If there is no data received, eBox will not send any TCP packets.

MMC/9PIN+TM is an innovative device integrating the world of MIDI to the world of professional video. It allows computer–based sequencers, audio mixing consoles and digital editing systems to control 422/P2 compatible video recorders (VTRs) and disk based recorders. Audio editors, film and video composers can control both a VTR and workstation at the same time.

MMC/9PIN+ translates MMC transport functions, locate points, shuttle and track arming messages into corresponding RS-422 (Sony 9 Pin/P-2) commands. Sony BVU-800/900 emulation is supported. By referencing 9-Pin sync with video, it outputs SMPTE and MTC without wasting an audio track for SMPTE.

9PIN/MMC

JLCooper’s 9Pin/MMCTM connects popular hard disk recorders including Tascam X-48, MX- 2424, Mackie HDR24/96, Roland VS Series and most computer–based audio editing systems to a standard video edit controller or switcher, for automated audio-follows-video control.

9Pin/MMC Interface interprets standard RS-422/P2 protocol messages and converts them to corresponding MIDI Machine Control (MMC) messages. This allows most hard disk audio recorders and computer based editing systems to be controlled by video editing systems that were originally intended to control professional Video Tape Recorders and DDRs.

Supported functions include play, stop, fast forward, rewind, record, locates, track arming, time code frame rate, program change, track record, set locate in/out points, pre-roll, post-roll and more.

See Adobe Acrobat pdf datasheet (left) for more information.

JLCooper’s PPS-2™ is ideal for anyone who owns a sequencer, drum machine, workstation or hard disk recording system, and needs to sync to tape.
PPS-2 offers the advantages of several synchronisers in one versatile package.

It reads and generates SMPTE time code and converts SMPTE into MIDI Time Code or Direct Time Lock. It also reads and generates JLCooper’s “Smart FSK” sync and converts it into MIDI Clock with Song Position Pointer. Jam Sync/Regeneration, Flywheeling, Admire and a low price make the PPS-2 the best choice for an affordable synchroniser.

Optional PPS-2 remote software for Windows and Macintosh lets you set SMPTE frame rate and start time when striping.

MLA-XLR pairs can carry data over two standard XLR Mic cables and provides a lower cost expansion option for interfacing with other MLA-1 and MLA-10 units in a network application.

See Adobe Acrobat pdf datasheet (left) for more information.

JLCooper Electronics extends the distance of MIDI with the MLA Series - MIDI Line Amplifiers. They let you effectively extend MIDI cable length using twisted pair wire or a standard audio snake.

MIDI Line Amplifiers are specifically designed for sending MIDI data over long distances with the capability to send information in excess of 1000 feet.

Ideal for touring systems or permanent installations, MLA’s can be used in schools, recording and production facilities, boardrooms, live performances, convention centers, churches, theatres, stadiums, amusement parks and more.

When to Use a MIDI Line Amplifier

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is an increasingly important consideration for schools, recording facilities, stadiums, arenas, hotels, amusement parks, or other facilities where MIDI messages are required to be sent a long distance, or to multiple locations.

The MIDI standard only permits a maximum cable run of less than 50 feet. The innovative MLA Series MIDI Line Amplifiers overcome this limitation.

The MLA’s convert the MIDI signal into a balanced high speed digital protocol that can travel over common twisted pair wire. The signal is converted back to MIDI through another MLA at the other end of the cable run.

MLA’s are ideal for permanent installations or anywhere a longer MIDI cable run is required.

The MLA’s can be easily networked to multiple locations such as from the master control room to a series of separate MIDI rooms in a recording studio, broadcast facility or educational lab. This allows you to decentralise the location of MIDI devices in the system.

MLA-10 MIDI Line Amplifier

The MLA-10™ is designed to fit into a standard single 19” rack space. Each MLA-10 features 8 MIDI lines configured as 4 inputs and 4 outputs. It has 4 MIDI input connectors, 4 MIDI output connectors and individual MIDI activity LEDs.

MLA-1

The MLA-1TM can be wall panel mounted or used with a separate MIDI jack panel. This facilitates greater flexibility for installations where MLA-1 units can be in every required room.

MLA-1 can be powered by an MLA-10 or used alone with a separate power supply. Its compact size allows it to be mounted on or inside a wall or panel.
