Automatically Triggering a GPI Output
You can associate a GPI output with an input source,
Media-Store channel, or matte. The GPI output is
triggered whenever the associated source is taken to
air.
A user-configurable delay may also be set for each
input that inserts a delay after the GPI output is
triggered but before the source it taken to air. This is
useful for VTR pre-roll delay and other situations
where an input source is not immediately ready to
take to air.
Note:
• It is recommended to assign edge triggered GPI
outputs to input sources.
To associate a GPI output with an input source:
1. Press MENU.
2. Press the CONFIG Wipe Pattern button.
3. Press the Input knob to display the Input
menu.
4. Press NEXT until GPO is displayed.
5. Use the Input knob to select an input source
6. Use the GPO knob to select a GPI output to
associate with the selected input source.
7. Use the Predly knob to set the pre-delay
interval (in frames) that the switcher waits after
the GPI output is triggered before taking the
input source on-air.
Note:
• You can not assign a GPI output to the Aux bus
special sources (AUX PGM, AUX PV, AUX
CLN, or AUX ALPHA)
Overriding an Automatically Triggered GPI
Output
You can quickly disable a GPI output trigger before a
transition is performed.
To disable the GPI output trigger:
1. Prepare a transition using DISS,
WIPE, or DVE as the transition type, but do
not perform the transition.
2. Use the RlClip knob to control whether the
switcher triggers the GPI output before
performing a transition. You can choose from
the following:
• Off — The GPI output is not triggered and
the pre-delay is ignored. The transition is
performed immediately.
• On — The GPI output is triggered and the
switcher pauses for the pre-delay before
performing the transition.
Note:
• The RlClip personality option must be set to
User for you to override GPI output triggering.
For More Information on...
• setting the RlClip personality option, refer to the
section “Transition Area Behavior” on page 2-13.
