You use automation to control playback, the projector, and external devices. This section provides instructions
for managing and defining:
• Macros-A macro is a list of actions that you define. For example, opening the curtains or turning on
the house lights at the end of playback. A macro can be activated by a global trigger, or it can be
added to a playlist.
• Device Input Triggers-Input cues wait for events such as a general purpose input (GPI) state
change or an Ethernet message received on TPC port 5111. An input cue in a playlist delays playback
until an event occurs.
• Global Triggers-A global trigger combines an input cue with a macro. When the predefined event for
the input cue occurs, the output macro is triggered. For example, a fire alarm input signal could cause
playback to stop and the house lights to come on. A global trigger is always active and is not
dependent on specific playlist definitions.
These are the macro actions that are available to control automated events:
