IDAL ChronoPlayer
Programmable interactive audio player
- The ChronoPlayer is a powerful and easy to install audio unit aiming at playing messages, sounds, music according to a schedule.Its performances linked to its dry contact logic, its ability to be remotely controlled via RS-232 or via its timestamped programming software make the ChronoPlayer a versatile audio tool for a wide spectrum of use.The audio files (MP3, WAV) are stored on an SD/SDHC card or a USB flash drive, within folders. The naming of the folders, with digits and optional tags, defines the playback behavior of the ChronoPlayer.Contexts of use:– Schools: customized sounds for beginning and end of lessons, welcoming, informative or security messages, musics
– Public spaces: information for customers and service users.
– Factories: break announcements, information along production lines
– Retails: store advertisements, information and commercials, vendor callProgramming:The programming function (scheduler) allows the playback of identified audio files with accuracy all along a day and according to a calendar defined up to several years.
Interactivity:
8 dry-contact inputs, up to 255 combinations, are available to trigger the playback of audio files on demand.
Playback mode:
Once, in a loop, randomly or sequentially, it is also possible to control whether incoming commands are blocked or executed.
Serial Link:
The ChronoPlayer can send custom data frames onto its serial link in order to control other devices. It is also possible to control the player from a PLC, another player, a computer, with its RS-232 serial link.
Can be racked :
Its 1/3 rack format allows an installation within a 19” support integrated in a storage bay.
