Expand your CF Player® with the right hardware.
For connecting 10 buttons, sensors or normally-open contacts. 10 opto-isolated inputs, 10 outputs for low loads (2–3 W per channel), switchable directly from the playlist – ideal for LEDs. Input voltage 5–24 V variable. Multiple IO boards can be combined per player – enabling very large GPIO setups.
Full DMX512 functionality with input and output. Control DMX devices in sync with the video, or control playback itself via an incoming DMX channel (selection, dimming, speed and much more). DMX recorder: record shows and replay them as often as you like – limited only by the SD card size.

Output Art-Net (DMX over network) live from the CF Player® – frame-accurately in sync with playback. Lighting and effects are addressed directly from the playlist; every lighting scene is thus deterministic to the video. Multiple universes are supported; receivers are standard Art-Net nodes or compatible lighting desks.
Switch up to 16 230 V relays (via two USB cards) frame-accurately with the video. Switch on or off at film start via the playlist or at defined times during playback – ideal for light, effects or actuators.

Retrofit a classic serial interface: with a USB-to-RS232 adapter the CF Player® controls projectors, displays, media controllers or industrial devices. Commands are sent timecode- or event-based from the playlist – ideal wherever a native RS232 interface (4K2) is not enough or several RS232 devices need to be addressed in parallel.
Simple, wireless live operation with standard Bluetooth presenters (e.g. Logitech R400). In normal operation the CF Player® plays its playlist until you activate another section or navigate a presentation at the push of a button. Each button is freely assignable.

Connect various Bluetooth devices directly to the CF Player® – for input (keyboards, gamepads, sensors, barcode scanners) or output (speakers, headphones). The supported profiles cover common HID, SPP and A2DP applications. We're happy to clarify which hardware fits your specific use case.
Play content location-based: define in which area a film or image should be shown. Classic use cases: ships, city tours, mobile stations. Suitable hardware solution on request.
Control film playback via RFID tags: start, pause or resume a specific film and much more – depending on the scanned chip. Supported hardware solutions on request.
Extend the CF Player® with sensors and interactivity from Nexmosphere: capacitive touch and distance sensors, RFID modules, pick-up pads, motion detection and much more. The modules connect serially and their events can be evaluated directly in the playlist – ideal for demanding retail and museum installations.
