GPI USE IN IPEDIT
In IPEdit, you can define up to eight GPIs OUT. The IPEdit module and the Playlist
panel have to share these eight GPIs OUT.
Important
IPDirector does not prevent the operator from using the same GPI OUT
to the Playlist panel and in IPEdit. This is up to the administrators and
operators to manage the use of GPIs OUT.
GPI AND SLOW MOTION
When the speed of an element is different than 100%, you cannot add new GPIs to
the element or modify existing ones. However, you can delete the GPIs.
When you modify the speed of an element which already contained a GPI, the GPI
remains defined on the same TC as before.
OVERVIEW OF GPI SETTINGS
Each time you define a GPI, you need to specify the following settings:
GPI Setting Description Possible Values
GPI number Number of the GPI used From 1 to 8
GPI mode Type of electric signal used Pulse high, Pulse low,
Level high, Level low
GPI duration Duration of GPI signal In frames and seconds
GPI offset Whether, and with how
much advance or delay,
the GPI signal will be sent
to the third-party device.
In frames and seconds
GPI TYPES IN IPEDIT
