Preview connector
7.2.5 Studio signalling
The CGP accepts tally signal inputs at its preview connector, which has three GPIO (General
Purpose Input/Output) contacts for tally signals.
To enable the GPIO inputs on theCGP enter the CGP Setup menu and go to the Install section.
Here you can individually enable, disable and configure the tally inputs. For the different
options and settings refer to the examples below.
Before using studio signalling on the CGP, the connected XCU must be configured to use
Ethernet based signalling (as opposed to using its own studio signalling GPIO inputs). To do
this, enter the menu in the XCU and go to the
INSTALL > SIGNALLING INPUT submenu and
set the ONAIR SOURCE item to Ethernet.
