GPIO OPERATION
GPO 3:
-- PRI <src> -- Select the given source, <src>, as the primary input source. <src> must be one of:
ANA (for analog), AES (for AES/EBU), or LWR (for LiveWire).
-- SEC <src> -- Select the given source, <src>, as the secondary input source that will be used in
case of failover. <src> options are the same as PRI.
-- FOV SET -- Force a failover to occur, putting the secondary input on-air and engaging the
failback logic
-- FOV CLR -- Force a failback to occur, putting the primary input on-air and engaging the
normal failover logic. Note: if the failover function is defeated by setting the failover time to 0.0,
this command will not cause it to become activated.
The corresponding GPI ports issue reports using this same syntax. Whenever a preset is selected
by any means, GPI 2 will issue a “SEL <preset name>“. When the primary input is changed by
any means, GPI 3 issues a “PRI <src>“, and likewise for the secondary input with “SEC <src>“.
If a failover occurs, GPI 3 issues a “FOV SET”; if a failback occurs, it issues a “FOV CLR”. These
reports are sent to any client monitoring the GPI port using standard LWRP procedures; see the
LWRP documentation for more information. Note that these clients will also see reports of the
same changes issued in the pin-based protocol at the same time.
