Playback with a GPI Trigger
In addition to manually invoking commands from the DekoMOS Playback Controller interface,
commands can be invoked with a GPI trigger. The GPI trigger may be operated manually, or
automatically in response to tally pulses from a switcher or other device. To play items in a
rundown with a GPI trigger, you must:
1. Make the appropriate hardware connections, as described in the appendix beginning on
page 157.
2. From the Playback Controller enable ports for GPI connections and assign commands to your
GPI triggers as described beginning on page 56.
3. If using tally pulses to invoke the GPI trigger, from the Playback Controller, configure
channels to respond to tally pulses, as described on page 130.
4. If using tally pulses to invoke the GPI trigger, from the Deko interface of the playout machine,
click Options>Preferences and verify the Automatically play linked effects is unchecked.
Individual Channel Controls
The DekoMOS Playback Controller may be linked to several Dekos. In addition to playing items
sequentially or individually from the rundown, you can monitor and control individual channels
of these Dekos.
With the controls beside each Channel Mini Preview, above the rundown you can clear the
Preview window, clear the Program window, clear the Deko clip player, stop or resume an effect.
You can also place the channel under external control, to allow playout from GPI or tally signals.
