GPI Device Control
You can assign a GPI output to a video source for basic
external device control. When a video source is taken
on-air, the switcher can be set to trigger a GPI output,
with a pre-delay. The external device can be set up to
cue a clip, or load a page when it receives the GPI input
trigger.
To Assign a GPI to a Video Source
1.
Press MENU > CONFIG > Input > NEXT > NEXT
> NEXT > NEXT.
2.
Use the Input knob to select the video source that
you want to assign a GPI output to.
If you are using the GPI to control the device, the
video source should be the video output coming from
the device.
3.
Use the GPO knob to select the GPI output that you
want to assign to the video source.
Note: You must have GPIs set as outputs to be able to
assign them to the video source.
4.
Use the Predly knob to select the pre-delay time,
in frames, you want to use with the GPI output.
When you transition a video source with a GPI
assigned to it, and the Roll Clip feature is active, the
switcher triggers the GPI output, and then waits the
pre-delay time before performing the transition. The
length of the pre-delay is usually the length of time
your video server requires to start playing a clip or
your character generator requires to load a page.
