DNF Controls has released the GTP 32BP Breakout Panel for connection to the inputs and outputs of the company's GTP-32 GPI Tally Processor. Fully compatible with any GTP-32 model, DNF Controls says the new breakout panel makes it easier than ever to manage GPI and tally signals through a single, highly configurable solution.

"Our GTP-32 system has proved to be a valuable tool for broadcasters working with dissimilar equipment and requiring a neat, reliable means of transporting GPIs and GPOs, whether across the room or around the globe," said John Duggin, DNF Controls president. "With the new GTP 32BP Breakout Panel, engineers now have even greater flexibility and improved accessibility in managing signal connections. We're always striving to help broadcasters do their work more comfortably and efficiently, and the GTP-32BP represents yet another DNF Controls product that simplifies key broadcast operations."

The GTP-32 GPI is a compact GPI tally processor, router, distributor, and combiner. It provides an interface between dissimilar equipment, offers long- or short-distance GPI/GPO transport, acts as an alternative to running multiconductor cables, provides complex signal processing/conditioning, and provides GPI and tally routing. The 1-RU system features 32 two-wire optically isolated inputs and 32 two-wire contact closure outputs that can be configured from any PC using a Web browser-friendly configuration tool.

The GTP 32BP Breakout Panel for the GTP 32 provides jumper-selectable wet or dry GPI inputs. Its recessed housing design allows cable access from within the rack, and a front-panel tie rod included with the unit provides cable-strain relief. The panel complements the speed of the GTP 32's GPI and tally processing, providing a straightforward way for operators to delegate GPIs and tallies to control rooms, studios, stages, and other venues with minimal time and effort.
