AMX CE-IO4 Control Extender - 4 IO Ports

AMX CE-IO4 Control Extender – 4 IO Ports

The AMX CE-IO4 is a compact control interface built to expand networked AV systems with analog and digital signal connectivity. Its small footprint and straightforward terminal block connections work well in retrofit setups and tight equipment racks where space matters. This extender brings flexible I/O capability to AMX control ecosystems without requiring additional power infrastructure, making it reliable for venues and touring rigs that need dependable signal routing.

Connectivity & Power Architecture

The unit connects via RJ45 IP control input and draws power directly from Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power supplies. With only 1.9W power draw, it operates efficiently within standard PoE budgets while maintaining full functionality across its four configurable contacts. Road-tested performance means fewer points of failure during live events and installations.

I/O Configuration & Signal Flexibility

Each of the four I/O contacts operates independently and can be configured as an analog input (0–10 VDC), a digital input with adjustable threshold, or a digital output capable of sourcing or sinking 100mA. The unit also provides 12 VDC power output and GND connection, enabling direct connection to external sensors, relays, and control devices without intermediary adapters. This flexibility is essential for integration with lighting rigs, relay controls, and sensor-based triggers in live environments.
