The Drive Hub card frame is a 2U 19" rack chassis for up to 12 drive cards and a processor card. One card frame can remove the need for local drivers for up to 96 fixtures, so they can all be serviced and monitored from one accessible central location.
Every drive card works in the Drive Hub Mini Pack and Card Frame, and each frame can run a mix of cards to match your installation.
The web interface sets up each card and the system as a whole, so output levels and control channels are easy to adjust.
Drivers and power supplies usually sit next to the fixtures, often in places that are hard to reach.
Drive Hub puts every key component in one accessible service area, so maintenance can happen at any time.
Power supplies above 97% efficiency with a power factor of 0.99 waste far less energy.
That means lower running costs and carbon savings, even against typical LED installations.
GDS has been known for smooth, flicker-free dimming for 20 years, in some of the world’s most prestigious venues.
Drive Hub brings that dimming quality to a whole installation, whether it drives GDS or third-party lights.
Drive Hub accepts DMX/RDM from external controllers, and the web interface sets the DMX address of every output.
Auxiliary ports connect to daylight sensors, HVAC and fire alarm systems.
Every part of a Drive Hub system can report to a Card Frame with a Network Processor Card, which sends updates by email or SNMP.
Each unit also adjusts itself, for example changing fan speed to keep running efficiently.
How Drive Hub works
Switch between the two installs, then select any part of the drawing to see what it does.
Pick a Card Frame, Mini Pack or Micro Pack, fill its slots with drive cards and break-out boxes, and get a parts list in minutes.
Choosing a unit
All three take the same drive cards and breakout boxes, so units can be mixed in one system.
Large installations, from one central rack
Small to medium installations with little plant space
The smallest installations, quiet spaces, or as a satellite
Plan a Card Frame, Mini Pack or Micro Pack yourself in the configurator, or tell us about the fixtures and the space and we'll recommend the units, cards and breakout boxes.
