Setting the Re-entry Button Operation
Mode
When you select a re-entry button in the cross-point

the output of the upstream M/E block is read in. You can
set the system so that when a GPI link is set for the cross-
point selected on the A
a)
bus of the upstream M/E block
this triggers the GPI output.
In the Switcher >Link >GPI Link menu, set [Re-Entry
Enable] to On or Off.
When this is On, the GPI is executed upstream.
a) When the bus toggle is set to Off, the applicable bus depends on the
position of the fader lever.
• For re-entry, “upstream” applies to a single stage only.
• This setting is common to all GPI output ports.
• GPI output execution on the upstream M/E block is only
possible on buses for which GPI Link is set to “Enable”
in the GPI Link Adjust menu.
• GPI output occurs when you press a re-entry button, the
re-entry button is selected by a macro execution, or you
press the re-entry button on the AUX bus remote panel.
