INTEVIO
Public Address & Voice Alarm
Made Simple

INTEVIO is a compact, integrated public address and voice alarm system

that adapts to your needs. Delivering enhanced safety, operational
efficiency and user experience, INTEVIO offers the benefits of a state
of the art PA/VA system in one simple to use, cost effective system.

INTEVIO's dual channel audio matrix has a total capacity of 128 loudspeaker
zones, achieving high quality sound reproduction performance. With live
paging, digital volume control, automatic triggering, dynamic power amplifier
backup and comprehensive supervision now INTEVIO makes PA/VA simple.
 A Powerful Heart: Cortex-A8 Chip Inside
• Expand capacity for comprehensive functional integration, enabling size and
cost reduction.
• Provide the foundation for smooth operation.
• Strengthen the backbone for system fault prevention.

Dynamic Power Amplifier Backup

• Increase stability for the whole system
• Provide flexible backup options to meet economic targets.
• Reduce cost from oversized backup amplifiers
with flexible amplifier backup solution

Public Address and Voice Alarm Combined

• Stable, reliable system operation
• Full supervision and easier fault diagnosis
• International safety and Voice Alarm regulation compliant

Ease-of-Use Design Saves Time and Money

• Reduce commissioning effort with less components
• Preloaded common configuration enables system setup via plug and play.

Operator productivity at small to medium-sized facilities is often subject to

the operator’s knowledge of the system, which day-to-day business relies
on. To improve performance without requiring them to be subject matter
experts, INTEVIO can flexibly adapt to the operational requirements, and
lower the threshold for users with an intuitive user interface, programmable
keypads, and remote access.

layout for straight connection wiring
architecture eliminates the need for
complicated crossover connections.
• A single CAT5 cable is used for audio
routing, controls, supervision, and power.

Centralized Monitoring
Faults can be quickly identified and
resolved by conveniently accessing
trouble and log details through the
screen of the INTEVIO controller.

• Information is easily accessible

through the 3.5" LCD controller.
• Manage configuration and fault
diagnostics by exporting log files.
• Monitor your system around the clock with
access to all details and supervision.

Seamless and Easy Integration

• Open Protocol Interface
based on TCP/Modbus
The Role of Public Address
and Voice Alarm
Voice Alarm is increasingly important in the safe
management of buildings. A voice message informs
occupants exactly what to do in an emergency and it
is a long established fact that people respond more
quickly and are more likely to take the correct action Cabinet Horn
during an evacuation if voice messages are used Loudspeaker Loudspeaker
instead of tone sounders.

Voice Alarm systems are not only used for public

buildings with a high number of visitors, but also have
the added benefit of performing as paging, public
address and entertainment systems.

Benefits
• Clear directions to people in the building
• Live messages giving exact instructions to people
who are not familiar with the surroundings
• Customised pre-recorded messages
(available in multiple languages)
• Improved management of phased evacuation
• Non-emergency functionality (public
address announcements, background
music and advertisements)

• Full access to the current schedule and a user’s ability to
temporarily enable or disable any task allows for last-minute
changes without the need to reset the entire system.
Target Specific Zones
• INTEVIO’s remote call stations enable live paging to targeted
zones. Functional buttons on the controller are configurable
for different operations while allowing the user to easily change
the message for specific zones – without extra hardware.
Control Access and Set Restrictions
• The controller provides programmable access restrictions with user
password configuration. Scheduled tasks are automatically delivered,
and users can override announcements based on priority levels.
• Unsolicited broadcasting could be tempting to curious
individuals in a school setting, so an access control scheme
can be applied to prevent unauthorized access.
