GPI Control (XLR-Analog-Output Only)
General Purpose Interface (GPI) is a high/low voltage signalling protocol that allows the system to send simple commands to an external device, or receive commands from a device. Each pin on the GPI is set as either high (+5 Volts), or low (0 Volts), and it is the switching between high and low that sends commands to the external device, or to the system.
GPI Setup
Each GPI pin on the system can be configured as either an input, or an output. By default, all GPIs are set as inputs.
To Set Up a GPI Output
A GPI output can be set as a Normal GPI output, or as a Tally output. As a tally output, the GPI output must be assigned to a video source. A GPI output in tally mode can still be used as a normal GPI output.

Setup
Reference and audio I/O setup, networking, and audio mixer configuration.
- Network Setup
  The control network connection for the AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output is separate from the AoIP Primary and Secondary ports and allows you to interface with the system, manage setup files, and collect logs.
- System Access
  Enable or disable system access and control methods such as FTP.
- Reference
  The flexible reference system allows for either video reference or word clock to be used to sync audio across multiple devices.
- Audio Inputs
  Audio sources come into the system through embedded audio (SDI), analog XLRs (XLR-Analog-Input only), MADI (SFP), or audio over network (AoIP or Dante®). Internal mixer outputs can also be used as sources.
- Audio Outputs
  Audio sources come out of the system through embedded audio (SDI), analog XLRs (XLR-Analog-Output only), MADI (SFP), or audio over network (AoIP/Dante®). Internal mixer outputs can also be used as output sources.
- Licenses
  Software options allows you to expand the functionality or resources available to the system. These options can either be licensed at the time you purchase your system, purchased and installed later on, or temporarily licensed through the Ross Platform Manager (RPM).

    Each GPI pin on the system can be configured as either an input, or an output. By default, all GPIs are set as inputs.
    - To Set Up a GPI Input
      The system requires a Low Edge GPI input trigger.
    - To Set Up a GPI Output
      A GPI output can be set as a Normal GPI output, or as a Tally output. As a tally output, the GPI output must be assigned to a video source. A GPI output in tally mode can still be used as a normal GPI output.
- MIDI Controller
  The MIDI controller is used to control the RAVE audio mixer. The controller connects to RAVE through DashBoard.

Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > GPIO.

Tip:
The Trigger button next to the Edit button allows you to manually trigger a GPI output.
Click Edit for the GPI that you want to configure as an output.
Click GPO.
Click a Level button to select whether you want the GPI to trigger low (Low), or high (High).
Click a Trigger button to select whether you want to use an edge trigger (Edge), or a level trigger (Level).
For edge triggers, use the Duration (fr) slider to set the length of time (in frames) that the GPI edge output remains triggered.
