The Digital Alert Systems MultiPlayer is a 4-channel EAS audio player and program switcher that eliminates one-channel-at-a-time restrictions when sharing a single EAS encoder/decoder across multiple streams.
The MultiPlayer combines multiple EAS audio recorders/players (playheads) and seamless on demand audio switching in a single compact chassis. Along with a host DASDEC, the MultiPlayer provides up to five completely independent EAS audio channels playable at any time.
The MultiPlayer features four discrete audio playheads, each with its own three-position (Program/ Playhead/Master) audio switch allowing it to play audio files and/or switch to the appropriate outputs when commanded by network control.
The Master Audio function provides separate GPI/O or network control to switch all stations to a single master audio input, simplifying wiring for a master override functions like an EAN. Each channel is also equipped with failsafe relays assuring program sources pass directly through in the event of power loss.
