GPI functionality
DM-3200 Ver1.20 supports GPI functionality. This
allows you to send 8 output signals from the GPI port
(D sub 9-pin connector) on the rear panel, and control
external devices from the DM-3200.
The DM-3200 allows you to give different trigger set-
tings to each of the GPI ports for GPI signal output.
You can choose the trigger source from a fader,
MUTE
key control, transport control, machine control key
status and its operation, or a timecode value.
