Checklist: Setting up the GPI Panel
A GPI panel is alternative playback control device that can be used to control playout through
Command. GPI panels connect to a GPI card installed in the Command Server.
A GPI panel allows a user to select up to four channels, with each channel having its own set of
Control buttons for play, cue, pause, and stop functionality. Configuring the system to work with a
GPI panel requires defining certain parameters through the Avid Service Configuration application,
the Avid Workgroup Properties application, and the system settings in Command itself.
Before configuration can begin, you should verify installation of all necessary applications and
components. To ensure a successful setup, complete the following tasks in the order that they are
listed. If you are viewing this checklist online, you can easily link to a topic that provides procedural
details for the task. Return to this main checklist after you have completed each task.
