6. Select the active signal (high or low) required.
This is determined by the external equipment connected to the GPI input.

8. Select OK on the Configuration dialog, or leave the Configuration Manager open
to configure other iVDR settings.
Configuring GPI outputs
You can assign GPI outputs to channels in the iVDR. Once GPI outputs are assigned
to a channel, you can use them in playlists to trigger external equipment. Further
configuration is available in the Playlist application to assign the GPI output to an
event or section. Refer to
“Using GPI output triggers in playlists” on page 200 .
NOTE: If you want to play a list that was created on another play channel, you must
ensure that GPI triggers assigned to the play channels use the same names,
otherwise the GPI triggers will not occur. Using identical GPI naming also allows
copying and pasting sections and events between lists.
To configure GPI output signals:
1. Select System and choose Configuration , then select the GPI button.
