Client components can interface to the eCNA-10 via RS-232, Ethernet and Digital I/O. Serial
Communication channels are available at any of three physical serial interfaces. This allows
simultaneous connectivity for multiple clients to exchange real time status and control data in order
to automate the presentation.
The eCNA-10 provides TCP Ethernet connectivity to all popular Screen Management Systems, Digital
Cinema Projectors, Sound Processors and other cinema equipment. This eliminates much of the
costly and tedious wiring required for digital I/O points and provides a greater amount of flexibility.
