Front Panel
The Input 16 front panel is dominated by its sixteen channel indicator LEDs — one for each input — plus indicators for the two onboard relay outputs.
| Element | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Status LED | Overall controller state — see Status LED |
| 8 input indicators | Channels 1-8 indicated. Lights purple when that input is on. |
| 2 relay output indicators | One per relay output. Green when the output is on; orange if the output is set to inverted. |
| Front button | Configurable per controller — see Front Button |
Channel indicators
Each input has a dedicated indicator that lights purple when that input is on, and is off otherwise. This is fixed — the input indicators always show purple, so you can tell at a glance which inputs are active just by looking at the front panel.
The two relay outputs have their own indicators. Each one is green when the output is on. If you set an output to inverted, its indicator shows orange instead. The indicators always reflect the state the controller is commanding.
If the lights would be distracting — for example in a dark haunt scene — you can turn the front-panel indicators off in Studio.
Inputs 9–16
Inputs 9–16 live on two included breakout boards connected by a standard Ethernet cable. Their indicators behave exactly like inputs 1–8 — the breakouts are part of the same controller, not separate boxes.
Mounting
Same chassis dimensions as the rest of the lineup, including the original Input 8 — existing brackets and racking are reusable.
