Hydra has 10 inputs + Motion input + DMX video + 10 sinking outputs

The Hydra has over 75 pre-programmed modes of operation that you can select.
We've taken many of our custom programs and included them at no charge!

Modes for latest firmware version 4.4 include:

• Up to 10 direct push button / trigger inputs
• Inputs can be a 5x5 matrix to use up to 25 push buttons.
• Inputs rated for up to 30 Volts DC for industrial sensors.
• Motion sensor input with user selectable re-trigger delay.
• DMX512 input to play up to 200 files and control 8 outputs.
• MIDI input* to play up to 127 files from a MIDI keyboard or controller.
• Escape Room Puzzle and Game modes.
• Chain 2 or more Hydras for more inputs and outputs.
• PLC or binary programmable logic control inputs.
• Delayed file trigger mode.
• Can control 2 Sprites in some modes.
• Telephone type keypad mode to play up to 99 files.
• Next file / previous file trigger mode.
• Alternate loop and trigger files modes.
• The default mode has up to 8 push buttons to play 8 files + 8 outputs.
• Turns on each output while the corresponding file 1 to 8 is playing.
• The outputs are rated for 3 to 30 Volts DC for small lamps or relays.
• Can drive relays to control larger voltages and loads.
• Plugs into the Sprite® with the included cable.
• Powered from the Sprite®.
• External power supply required for the outputs, not included.
• Screw terminals to connect pushbuttons and outputs.
• Based on a PIC processor, it can be re-programmed.
• We can provide custom programming to do many things.

We can custom program the Hydra for you

There are endless ways we can program the Hydra to interact with the Sprite®.

We can interface other sensors to the Hydra with custom programming to control a Sprite.

Got an idea? If you can think it, we can probably make it.
Just tell us what you need and we'll give you a quote.
