Configuring GPI Input and Output

General Purpose Interface (GPI) input and output allow you to connect a switcher or
other control device to the Aurora Playout system and use it to control the Aurora
Playout software.

Aurora Playout supports both PCI and ethernet based GPI depending on your choice
of GPI device. You can select either PCI or Ethernet from the Device Type dropdown
list. You can also set either 16 or 32 GPI inputs depending on the hardware
configuration.

For ethernet based GPI connection, you then need to enter the IP address and slave
ID of your GPI device.
