NI-3101-SIG

 

OVERVIEW
With its gloss-black face, blue power bar and blue and white status LEDs, the NI-3101-SIG can be placed on open racks, open shelves, tables, home theaters or behind the scenes in a rack. Measuring just 1 rack unit (RU:1) high, the NI-3101-SIG frees up space for other components while the extended rack depth (10") simplifies rear connections.

With extremely fast 32-bit processing and 64MB of onboard RAM, the NI-3101-SIG is capable of processing thousands of control and automation commands per second. Whether your control requirements are simple or sophisticated, the NI-3101-SIG is fast, accurate and immediate. In addition, it features a convenient USB programming port to simplify configuration.

COMMON APPLICATION
The NI-3101-SIG is ideal for controlling devices in large areas and multiple rooms. Its sleek styling and professional showroom finish allow it to be displayed prominently in home theater environments or work equally well behind the scenes in a rack.
