Remote Aux Panel GPI Connection
In this section, you will wire each Remote Aux Panel GPI port to the designated joystick switch on
selected camera CCUs. If you wish to connect GPIs on
more than one panel to different CCU
joysticks, each connector must be wired at this time. The GPI connector is located on the rear of each
“new generation” Remote Aux Panel.
• Using the “ Remote Aux Panel GPI Input Worksheet ” as a guide, label the rear of each
panel with its assigned group and offset . A sample label is shown below.

• Using the the section “ Remote Aux Panel Pinouts ” on page 10-17 and the data from
your “ Remote Input Worksheet ” wire the appropriate GPI ports to each designated
Camera CCU. Refer to your camera’s Installation Manual for pinout information on the
device’s Joystick contact closure. Momentary action, normally-open switches are
recommended.
Please note:
• Remote Aux Panel GPI Connector type: 9-pin “D” SUB Female
• GPI In 1-8: Active low, short-to-ground to activate
• Run all GPI cables in accordance with good engineering practice and ensure that the
cable will not be subjected to physical abuse.
Setting Up CCU Joystick Aux Control
Once the remote GPIs have been wired, and the remote panels have been programmed with the
appropriate offsets, you can now assign each remote GPI to an Aux Bus and a switcher BNC input.
This procedure selects the crosspoints that you want to view when CCU Joystick buttons are pressed.
Use the following procedure to configure your remote Aux GPIs:
1. Navigate to the GPIs Menu as follows:
• Press MENU to display the Main Menu .
• Press
3. GPIs
to display the GPIs Menu .
Caution GPI inputs are only intended for connection to “dry contact,” open
collector type transistor outputs or 5 VDC signals. Application of any
negative voltages or voltages in excess of 5 VDC may permanently
damage the GPI inputs.
