DM-3200 Release Notes
18 TASCAM DM-3200 Release Notes V1.50
GPI functionality
DM-3200 Ver1.20 supports GPI functionality. This allows
you to send 8 output signals from the GPI port (D sub
9-pin connector) on the rear panel, and control external
devices from the DM-3200.
The DM-3200 allows you to give different trigger settings
to each of the GPI ports for GPI signal output. You can
choose the trigger source from a FADER, MUTE key
control, transport control, machine control key status and
its operation, or a timecode value.
Making connections
The arrangement of the serial port pins of the GPI ports on
the rear panel is as follows:
Pin number Function
#1 GPI output port
#2 GPI output port 2
#3 GPI output port 3
#4 GPI output port 4
#5 GND
#6 GPI output port 5
#7 GPI output port 6
#8 GPI output port 7
#9 GPI output port 8
Output level: 5V
