The INPUT GPI settings make it possible to configure the action
to be triggered on a given player channel of the XT server when
a given key is pressed on a GPI connected to this XT server.
Eight GPI inputs can be used on an XT server. For each of them,
the action it performs, the channel it is controlling and the way it
is triggered must be defined from the combo boxes in the
settings window.
In the IP Director workspace, the triggered action will be
reflected in the open applications to which the player channel
has been assigned.
Only the GPI keys set up to be managed by IP Director on the XT
server can be configured in the INPUT GPI Configuration pane.
The other ones will be greyed out.
For each INPUT GPI, the following information needs to be
defined:
• The action triggered by the GPI key on the XT server.
• The player channel on which the action needs to be
executed.
• The type of trigger signal sent by the GPI to XT server.
Example
In the above example, when the GPI key 1 is pressed on the XT
server 03_XT3, this triggers a playback action on the PGM1
player channel of the XT3 server. The trigger signal is a rising
edge pulse. With the configuration defined below, the IP Director
will show the triggered action in any application that displays the
given player channel.
The following sections describe in details the various fields in
the INPUT GPI Configuration pane:
A
CTION
The Action field allows the user to define the action that will be
triggered by the GPI key. The value defined in the Action drop-
down list box for a GPI key is also defined in the Setup
Configuration of the XT server. Modifying the action type on IP
Director will update the corresponding value in the XT server
Setup Configuration and vice versa.
