This trigger can be set up to occur automatically any
time the video source is transitioned on-air, or it can be
triggered manually.
An automatic GPI output trigger can be overridden if
required.
Note:
The Next Button Secondary Function must be set to
GPO to be able to trigger a GPI output manually using the
NEXT button.
Keep the following in mind when working with GPI
output triggers:
• The RlClip
knob must be set to
On
to trigger a
GPI output with a transition.
• The Roll Clip must be set to On to trigger a GPI
output with a transition.
• Edge triggered GPI outputs remain triggered for the
configured duration.
• Level triggered GPI outputs toggle between high
and low each time they are triggered.
To Assign a GPI Output to a Video Source
You can set a pre-delay, or pre-roll, that will specify
when the GPI is triggered in relation to taking the
video source on-air. This is useful for VTR pre-roll
delay and other situations where an input source is not
immediately ready to be taken to air. The RlClip knob
must be set to On to trigger the GPI output with the
transition.
Note:
You cannot assign a GPI output to Aux bus special
sources (AUX PGM, AUX PV, AUX CLN).
1. Press MENU > Config > Input > NEXT >

2. Use the Input knob to select the video source
that you want to assign a GPI output to. Click the
GPO
button for the video source that you want to
assign a GPI output to.
When you select this source on a bus, the GPI
output will trigger automatically.
3.
Use the GPO knob to select the GPI output that
you want to assign to the selected video source.
Click the GPI output that you want to assign to the
selected video source.
4.
Use the Predly knob to select the pre-delay
interval (in frames) that the switcher waits after
the GPI output is triggered before taking the input
source on-air. In the Predelay field, enter the pre-
delay interval (in frames) that the switcher waits
after the GPI output is triggered before taking the
input source on-air.
To Set a GPI to Be Triggered Manually
To manually trigger a GPI output, the GPI must be
assigned to one of the pattern/mnemonic buttons.
1. Press MENU > Config > GPIO > NEXT .
2. Use the Bttn knob to select the pattern/mnemonic
button that you want to assign a GPI output to.
3. Use the GPO knob to select the GPI output that
you want to assign to the button.
