GPI and Tally Interface
The Blackmagic Design GPI and Tally Interface is a low cost alternative for multi-camera
productions where a camera control unit, or CCU, operator needs to switch video from one
of several cameras being controlled to a single monitor. It features 8 configurable GPIs and
8configurable GPOs.
Under certain crosspoint conditions, the GPIs send commands to your Videohub via Ethernet
toswitch the selected camera to the operator’s monitor and the GPOs send a tally signal to
your cameras or other equipment.
