KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Functional, Customisable, and Good-Lookin’:

PBR TRS³-LIT’s LED display supports up to 12 characters per channel to describe your connections. A quick touch of the Display button can be used to turn it off.

To customise the display, you have two options: simply connect a USB keyboard to the front of the unit and start typing… or you can use the included PatchCAD software to customise the LED display on your computer, and export them to a USB drive to load directly into the unit.

PatchCAD (Mac/Win) lets you customise your LED display using a quick, familiar spreadsheet-like interface. Simply type out how you want your display to appear, export the file to a USB drive, and connect the USB drive to your LIT patchbay and press the Update button.
