Hydra H9X28D Input / Output Expander

OVERVIEW
The H-9X28D Hydra® from MedeaWiz transforms a single Sprite 4K DS-S4 into a fully featured control hub. Hook it up via the included 4-pole 3.5 mm jack lead (which also powers the Hydra) and unlock:
- Up to 25 trigger inputs (buttons or keypad)
- Eight low-voltage sinking outputs (for LEDs, relays, lamps)
- PIR motion-sensor input
- DMX512 or MIDI control

CONTROL MODES & FLEXIBILITY
With over 75 pre-programmed modes (and more via firmware updates), you can tailor behavior to your application:
Mode 1 (Default): 9 buttons play files 001–008; button 9 resets to looping file 000; motion sensor also triggers 001; each active output follows its file playback.
Matrix & Keypad:
- 5 × 5 matrix support for 25 discrete inputs
- 3 × 4 keypad support for up to 99 unique file triggers
Protocol Control:
- DMX512: Address up to 200 files per Sprite over a daisy-chained DMX line
- MIDI: Play up to 127 files via MIDI keyboard/controller (adapter required)
Advanced Triggers: Random file picks, increment/decrement stepping, alternate looping files, and more
Dual-Sprite Modes: Some configurations let one Hydra drive two independent Sprites
