Digital Controllers

The GDS digital RS485 controllers come in the same reliable form factor as the analogue controllers, but offer transportation of all the cue light channels down a standard CAT5 Cable. The Digital Controllers are used in conjunction with either the 12 or 4 way I/O nodes. 12 way nodes are rack mountable, 4 way nodes are portable. Using RS485 allows for multiple point connections of a single system within an installation, this is particularly useful for venues with many plug in points, and significantly reduces physical cabling.

Global Design Solutions GDS Cue System Analogue Controller
The above diagram demonstrates a typical Digital system connection.

The controllers come as standard in 4, 8 or 12 way configurations, with rack or desk mount option. Each cue light outstation plugs directly into the 4 or 12 way nodes.

The system comes standard with professional features such as:

  • Series operation - so the controller only lights if the outstation does
  • Single preset mastering and cancel options for all channels
  • Left and right hand mastering for all controllers over 4 channels
  • Multi voltage IEC mains input
  • Robust Carry handle on desk version

The operation of all controllers can be simply configured in a number of ways:

  • Flashing or static operation - for the red standby
  • Green Momentary - for latching or non-latching green
  • Green Dual Function - push and hold or latching
  • Lose red on go - keep or lose red standby after a go
  • Red Toggle - Bring back red after a go
  • Clear Preset - Clear or keep preset after a go
