Specification
RIO G4

A. General
i.	The RIO G4 (“Remote Device”) shall be a solid-state device specifically designed to be part of a lighting control system in an architectural or entertainment application.
ii.	The Remote Device shall operate in conjunction with a compatible lighting controller (“Controller”) that it communicates with over an Ethernet network.
iii.	The Remote Device shall receive data from a Controller and output it as DMX512 based on a user-configurable mapping (patch).
iv.	The Operating Software of the Remote Device shall be stored in a dedicated non-removable non-volatile solid-state memory. It shall be possible to update the Operating Software by download from a remote personal computer over an Ethernet connection.
v.	The Remote Device shall automatically connect to a Controller over an Ethernet connection on receiving power without additional external inputs.
vi.	There shall be visual indicators on the Remote Device showing status of the Remote Device and its ports.
vii.	The Remote Device shall provide four (4) DMX512 ports.
viii.	The DMX512 ports shall have surge protection and be capable of restoring output automatically once an external fault condition is cleared.
ix.	The Remote Device shall support the Remote Device Management protocol (ANSI E1.20) on each DMX512 port.
x.	The Remote Device shall support up to 4 Serial Data Interfaces (SDI) for optional output of synchronous and asynchronous serial data
xi.	The Remote Device shall receive data from a Controller and in SDI Mode output it as serial data based on a user-selectable protocol and patch.
xii.	The Remote Device shall use a Rotary Dial and Push Button which can be used for lighting protocol line testing without additional programming being required or simple addressing of the Remote Device.
xiii.	The Remote Device shall have a recessed switch for resetting the unit without removal of power.
xiv.	The Remote Device shall have an internal watchdog feature that will restart the unit in the event of program failure.
xv.	The Remote Device shall be provided with a 5 year manufacturer warranty.

B. Physical
i.	The Remote Device shall be a 6 unit DIN enclosure (107.5mm x 90.0mm x 40.0mm). 
ii.	Mounting shall comply with EN60715 (35/7.5 rail). 
iii.	The Remote Device shall additionally have a keyhole bracket for alternate wall mounting. 
iv.	The Remote Device shall be entirely solid-state with no moving parts, fans nor hard disc drives
v.	The Remote Device shall operate in a temperature range from 0¬∞C to 50¬∞C (32¬∞F to 122¬∞F)
vi.	The Remote Device shall be CE and UKCA compliant.
vii.	The Remote Device shall be UL/cUL listed.

C. Electrical
i.	The Remote Device shall be designed to support the following wire terminations (0.200” (5.08mm) plug-in rising clamp terminals):
a.	3-pin isolated DMX512 Out, RDM-compatible (4)
and the plug-in rising clamp terminals shall be provided.
ii.	In addition there shall be the following standard connectors:
a.	RJ45 socket for 10/100Base-TX Ethernet
iii.	The Remote Device shall be able to receive power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af PoE powered device).
iv.	The DMX512 ports shall be independently galvanically isolated up to 2kV
v.	The DMX512 ports shall be able to withstand continuous AC voltage up to 300V
vi.	The DMX512 ports shall be able to withstand peak impulse voltage up to 650V with duration less than 10ms

D. Software
i.	The Remote Device and associated Controller shall be supported by programming software running on either a PC or Mac platform.
