Overview
NotaBotYet On-Air 285, Dual Universal 12V On-Air Light Controller
The ON-AIR 285 from NotaBotYet serves as an efficient control solution for modern low-voltage on-air lights. These lights, commonly used in studios, typically run on 12 volts and consume up to a 1 amp of current.
Features
- Compatibility: The unit interfaces seamlessly with Axia GPIO, Wheatnet Logic, or any other open collector logic or dry relay closures to ground.
- Dual Control: It can independently control two lights or can manage a single dual-color device (such as the Titus Labs HPL or BPL series with a second color option).
- Flashing and Pulsing Programs: Beyond simple “ON” and “OFF,” the ON-AIR 285 offers various flashing and pulsing patterns. These patterns can be customized based on activations across its five input control lines.
- Customizable Scenarios: When integrated with Axia GPIO via Pathfinder or Wheatnet Logic using their scripting engine, users can program distinct flash patterns for different on-air scenarios. For example, a steady “ON” might indicate live microphones, while a triple strobe flash could signal live network broadcasting.
- Installer Options: The unit provides 31 pre-programmed “steady on” and flashing patterns for installers to choose from. Additionally, if needed, a “Simple” mode can be engaged by selecting a jumper and power-cycling the device.
