Product Description
ETC MTPC-RIO Tessera Remote Input/Output Interface
The Unison Mosaic Tessera Remote Input/Output Interface provides an easy-to-implement solution for interfacing the Tessera Panel Controller (TPC) with a lighting control system. With a linevoltage power connection, the TPC-RIO provides power and data communication for a TPC using a standard Ethernet cable. The versatile interface also provides connections for DMX output, DALI interface and eight contact closures, creating a standalone lighting control system with no additional configuration. The TPC-RIO and companion TPC can be used as part of a larger Mosaic control system, allowing larger installations to use multiple controllers and remote devices.
FEATURES
