GPI Output Triggers

Each video source can have a GPI output assigned to it. This GPI can be used to trigger an external device, such as a video server, to play the cued clip when the video sources from the video server are taken on-air.

A GPI trigger can be set up to occur automatically any time the video source is transitioned on-air, or it can be triggered manually.

Note: The Next Button Secondary Function must be set to GPO to be able to trigger a GPI output manually using the NEXT button on the control panel.
