• The MV-32/MV-64 GPI outputs are open collector outputs and require external
pull-up resistors of between 10 k
Ω and 100 kΩ and can sink up to 500 mA. A +5
Vdc out pin is provided on the GPI connector for this purpose.
• For an example of how GPI outputs can be used to drive LEDs, see
section 5.1.2.1.
• The MV-32/MV-64 GPI inputs have weak pull-downs on them and can be driven by
inputs of up to 24 V. The inputs are triggered by inputs above 3 V.
• For an example of how GPI inputs can be used to trigger on-screen tallies, see
section 5.3.
