PESA offers a large variety of remote control panels for use with the system controller; plus a
selection of protocol converters that allow PESA routing products to be controlled by virtually
any third party control system. Our ClikControl application offers TCP/IP control software that
allows virtually any PESA router installation to be controlled from anywhere in the world over
the internet.
PESA's PERC2000 Controller gives you the ability to make limited modifications to the router
configuration file during normal system operation using the Incremental Add/Edit function.
Using this feature you can add or modify source and destination entries, make changes to many
configuration key lists and add or modify remote control panel lists and data. Configuration
changes you make with Incremental Add/Edit are written to system controller memory and
remain a part of the on-board configuration until the file is re-loaded or further modified.
PERC2000 supports up to 16 levels of control, 64 matrices, 256 tieline interconnects, 256 salvos
and up to 2,400 source and destination names. It provides diagnostics, matrix segmentation,
virtual matrix mapping and field-updates via Ethernet. The graphical user interface is highly
intuitive, allowing quick and easy operator access to every feature in the system.
When used with PESA’s DRS distributed audio routing system, the P2K software application
provides a wide range of configuration options including control of audio delay on input channels
and/or output channels, audio phase inversion, or dual channel summing. Built-in test functions
allow assignment of audio silence, white noise, 1 kHz tone, or a discrete tone sweep, to any DRS
output channel. The PERC2000 comes with three selectable RS232/RS422 serial ports, a
dedicated RS422 port for PRC bus communication, plus Ethernet communication interfaces.
