SPD1 Status Panel Driver

The Pennywise SPD1 Status Panel Driver enables third party cinema equipment to drive Pennywise CS30 & CS18 Cinema Status Panels.

Each SPD1 uses a set of opto-coupled inputs to obtain status information from the projection equipment in a cinema. The SPD1 then transmits this information to CS30 & CS18 Status Panels which display it.

SPD1s are compatible with Pennywise CA21 & CA100 automation units when driving Status Panels. Thus SPD1s, CA21s, CA100s, CS30s and CS18s can all be connected together on the same network.

The connection between SPD1s and CS30s/CS18s is a simple three wire daisy chained connection. Up to 255 units (a mixture of SPD1s, CA21s, CA100s and CS30s) can all be interconnected on the one cable.
