Figure 15: Commands and actions list
• GPI action: Shows a list of the available GPI actions.
• Server/Client: Shows a drop-down list box in every row, where the selected
GPI action should apply to either a Media Sequencer (Server option) or the local
Viz Trio (Client option).
Note: The server and client actions are reciprocally exclusive.
• Server Command: Shows a drop-down list box in every row, where the action
to be performed on this GPI line can be selected. Server commands are GPI
actions that apply to the Media Sequencer. When right-clicking an item in the
playlist, the Playlist menu opens. In this menu, select Cursors, and then Set
Next. A red arrow appears next to the selected element in the playlist, which
indicates that this is the current GPI cursor. The server commands can be set
to:
• advance_and_take: The cursor shifts to the next element in the playlist, and
then runs the Start operation.
• take_and_advance: Runs the Start operation on the current element, and
then shifts to the next element in the playlist.
• take_current: Runs the Start operation on the current element (the element
with the cursor).
• next: Shifts to the next element in the playlist.
• previous: Shifts to the previous element in the playlist.
• continue: Runs the Continue operation on the current element.
• out_current: Runs the Take Out operation on the current element.
• Macro Command: Macro commands are silent GPI actions. Clicking the ellipsis
(...) button opens the Add Command window.
• Profile: Sets the profile to be used for the GPI action. This profile must match
the profile set for the playlist that is to be triggered by the GPI actions. The
drop-down list shows the profiles configured on the Media Sequencer.
Description: Shows the description of the GPI action, as it was specified in the Add
Command window.
