Skaarhoj ETH-GPI Link

Professional GPIO Control via Ethernet

The Skaarhoj ETH-GPI Link is a powerful general-purpose I/O controller designed to bridge the gap between your network and broadcast hardware. Whether you need to trigger tally lamps, integrate foot switches, or connect with legacy CCU systems, this device provides the flexibility required for modern video infrastructure. Its versatile design makes it an essential tool for video routing, switcher integration, and custom automation workflows.

Reliable Hardware Architecture

Equipped with 8 GPI inputs and 8 GPO outputs, the ETH-GPI Link ensures signal integrity through high-quality optical isolators and relays. The GPO is implemented with relays shorting to ground, while the GPI uses optical isolators shorted to ground, providing essential electrical separation and protection for your sensitive equipment. This robust design ensures long-term reliability in demanding broadcast environments.

Powered by UniSketch OS

Like all Skaarhoj devices, the ETH-GPI Link runs on the versatile UniSketch OS. This allows for deep integration with a wide range of broadcast gear, including Blackmagic Design ATEM switchers, HyperDecks, and VideoHub routers. With Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, setup is clean and efficient, requiring only a single cable for both power and communication via the standard DB25 connector configuration.
