IO Interface (ZS-4328IO)
This chapter mainly describes the ZS-4328IO characteristics, functions, appearance and specifications, The
ZS-4328IO is an external interface expansion control equipment in the system to meet the common interface
requirements of the broadcasting system. It includes 4 auxiliary inputs that can connect to external audio
sources, and 1 built-in audio source. All the audio sources broadcasted through an Ethernet network.
CHARACTERISTICS
The ZS-4328IO has the following characteristics:
- 4 external audio inputs (auxiliary inputs or balance inputs) that can connect to external audio source
equipments such as a CD player or tuner.
- 4 balance input ports that can set the phantom power supply and gain of each input by the switch at
the rear panel.
- Built-in network stream players which can be used in emergency or public address.
- Max. 5 channels audio source playing in the network that can be external audio source or internal
players.
- Built-in 500MB flash (Max. 96 minutes) and 4GB (Support max. 32GB) SD card for storing audio files
which can be broadcasted through the Ethernet.
- 4 10M/100M Base-T Ethernet switch ports.
- 32 dry contact inputs with supervision automatically.
- Link to fire alarm system by dry contacts or LPI-ModBus
- Manage max. 32 ZS-2000M (Max. 256 zones).
- Telephone interface, support 128 predefined groups.
- Monitoring the dry contact inputs, communication and power supply.
- General fault output (dry contact).
FUNCTIONS
This section describes the following main ZS-4328IO functions:
- Main and Backup Power Supply
- Network audio source management
- External audio inputs and internal player
- Fire alarm interface
- Telephone interface
- Software Configuration Function
MAIN AND BACKUP POWER SUPPLY
The main and standby power supplies are provided with the ZS-4328IO. The methods by which the power
supply detects faults can be configured through the software. In case of a main power supply fault, the main
power supply indicator light on the front panel of the ZS-4328IO turns yellow, and the output fault
automatically causes the backup power supply to provide power instead. After the main power supply is
returned to normal, it automatically again supplies power and the backup power supplies resume their
standby presence.
POWER SUPPLY PROTECTION
The ZS-4328IO power supply is protected. In case of a short circuit or other fault within theZS- 4328IO, the
main power supply is disconnected automatically.
NETWORK AUDIO SOURCE MANAGEMENT
Network audio source management.
Max 5 channels audio source playing in the network that can be external audio source or internal players.
AUDIO1~4 can be set for external audio source or internal players, AUDIO 5 only be set for internal player
through the config software.
