The PT3 Protocol Translator offers convenient and flexible control of LecNet™ equipment from an AMX®1 control system or a MIDI interface. Armed with intrinsic knowledge of all three protocols, the PT3 is simultaneously an AMX-compatible peripheral, a MIDI receiver, and a LecNet controller.
As an AMX-compatible peripheral with its own AXlinkâ„¢1 device number, familiar AXCESSâ„¢1 language commands are all that are needed to dispatch LecNet functions and to receive notification of LecNet status changes. As a MIDI device, MIDI program changes, notes and controllers easily operate LecNet devices. As an intelligent LecNet controller, the PT3 is ready to use with built-in knowledge of many LecNet devices and hundreds of LecNet commands, in a user-expandable and downloadable library. Most applications require only point-and-click setup. For those few cases requiring detailed LecNet interaction, AXCESS strings and buffers handle the LecNet addressing and timings automatically. The PT3 puts an end to RS-232 programming hassles.
