Remote GPI VANC Transmission
GPI-100 Remote GPI VANC Transmission
Rear Module Sufx (ex: [model]-R2)
-R2 Rear Module for GPI-100
Remote GPI Transmission:
• Carry 8 GPIs
• Card can be set as encoder or decoder
• 1 encoder can transmit to multiple decoders
• Decoders can selectively respond to some or all GPIs
• Protects equipment from being triggered by
other originators
• Logging feature
The GPI-100 provides remote control of:
• Station equipment
• Logo insertion equipment
• Switchers
• Replaces obsolete cue tone equipment
• 5-year transferable warranty
The GPI-100 enables GPI/O triggers to be carried in the Vertical
Ancillary (VANC) data area of an SDI (SMPTE 259M), or HD SDI
(SMPTE 292M) video signal, in accordance with SMPTE 291
and other related standards. The GPI-100, as an encoder, reads
GPI/O inputs and inserts them into the VANC. As a decoder, it
reads the VANC and applies the data to GPI/O outputs. This
allows GPI/O enabled equipment to be triggered remotely
through the video path.
The GPI-100 provides a simple interface allowing the carriage
of GPI/O triggers as part of the video signal. For example:
• The card is set to act as an encoder or a decoder. This
determines if the card will read and place the GPI/Os
into the VANC (encode) or read the VANC and assert the
GPI/Os (decode).
• GPI/O triggers are logged both to the screen and to a log
le. The log le can be transferred from the card to the PC.
• Entries in the log le are time stamped. The GPI-100
can be set to use an NTP time server, timecode or its
own internal clock as its time reference.
• One GPI-100 can insert trigger for many GPI-100s
acting as receivers. There are 8 GPI/Os available and a
receiver can act on all or some of them.
Remote GPI VANC Transmission
Encodes or decodes up to 8 GPIs as VANC packets.
