The Vocia Input 8 (VI-8) is designed to facilitate live audio paging from user sources to emergency and non-emergency zones in a Vocia system. The VI-8 will allow direct paging access from eight sources via analog mic/line level inputs or CobraNet digital audio connections. Nine logic inputs can be assigned to various Vocia control events including paging control. A logic output and four relay outputs can be assigned to control events. The logic output may be used to report status from one or several daisy-chained VI-8s to an external system. The logic inputs and output are monitored.
