In the IPDirector 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 IPDirector on the EVS server can be
configured in the Input GPIs Settings window. The other ones will be greyed out.
Important
The GPIs IN to be used in IPDirector need to be assigned to the IPDP
protocol Setup Configuration module of Multicam (SHIFT-F2, Page 4).
Otherwise, they cannot be defined in IPDirector.
Example
In the above example, when the GPI key 1 is pressed on the EVS 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 above, the
IPDirector 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
Settings window.
Action
The Action field allows the user to define the action that will be triggered by the
GPI key. The value defined in the Action field for a GPI key is also defined in the
Setup Configuration of the EVS server. Modifying the action type on IPDirector will
update the corresponding value in the EVS server Setup Configuration and vice
versa.
The following actions can be defined on a GPI key:
Action Description
PLAY Initiates a play command at 100% on the selected channel.
PAUSE Initiates a pause command on the selected channel.
RECUE Initiates a jump to the IN point of the on air element on the
selected channel.
If this is a playlist, the jump is performed to the IN point of
the first clip of the playlist.
PREVIOUS Initiates a command to go to the previous clip of a playlist on
the selected channel.
NEXT Initiates a command to go to the next clip of a playlist on the
selected channel.
