make the purchase.

Personal TitleMaker rear panel.
USING A GPI TRIGGER DEVICE
If your edit controller is automatic and has GPI trigger, you can trigger
each page in a project with the controller. You might need a special
cable to connect the GPI jacks from the GPI device to Personal Title-
Maker.
WARNING!
Always turn off power before plugging into any GPI
jack.
The following instructions explain how to automatically trigger titles
using the Videonics Thumbs Up device in conjunction with Personal
TitleMaker. Instructions for other devices should be similar, but you
should check the device instructions beforehand.
1 Connect the Thumbs Up device to Personal TitleMaker using
an appropriate cable.
2 As you create pages with Personal TitleMaker, press the “T”
button where you want to trigger the titles. You can trigger
titles between scenes or anywhere in the middle of a scene.
