Camco Amplifier Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
CAMCO Vortex series amplifiers are supplied with a
remote control facility as standard (Camco Amplifier
Interface - CAI). The Tecton series can be upgraded for
remote control via the use of the controller-module or
a combined controller / network-module.
Cost Efficient Network
The CAI interface is a cost efficient solution, which via a RJ11
connector handles all the amplifiers settings and status readings.
Up to 32 amplifiers can be daisy chained together into a CAI
network (blue lines on the illustration above).
Ethernet & TCP/IP Compatible
The EtherCAI module is a network-bridge between the CAI network
(blue lines) and a standard TCP/IP & Ethernet network (orange
lines) which together makes an EtherCAI network (blue + orange
lines). Thus remote control is possible through LAN, WLAN and the
Internet.
Remote Control of Infinite Amplifiers
Several EtherCAI modules can be connected to the same standard
Ethernet router. Thus there is no upper limit to the number of
amplifiers which can be remote controlled by a PC over an EtherCAI
network.
User-friendly Software
The remote control software provides a user-friendly and intuitive
graphical user interface, which enables remote control of all
amplifiers connected to the EtherCAI network. All registered users
of CAMCO amplifiers can receive CAMCO’s remote control software
free of charge. Please contact your CAMCO dealer for further
information.
Control of All Parameters
The CISUS software provides access to all the amplifiers front plate
read outs, amongst others: Signal. Clip and Protect. Additionally
the amplifiers mute function is also accessible. Furthermore CISUS
offers peak meter readouts of the output stages voltage and current
as well as dynamic readout of the amplifiers temperature.
