5th Step: Input/Output Sets

Other Columns

The remaining column headings of this table will show the Level names
from the Step 2 “Level” table (

page 152

). For each field, select the name of

the router output that will be associated with the Maestro input for the row.

For Jupiter systems, these names correspond to the output names in the CP
Output Set previously assigned to the Maestro system.

Note

If a source for key cut, key fill or audio overs is directly connected to a
Maestro input (see Source Types

on page 192

), there should be no Intercon-

nection definition for that input.

General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) Definition

GPIO connectors allow external devices to trigger Maestro events (Keyers
on/off air, audio overs on/off air, etc.) or for Maestro to trigger external
events such as source tally and bus tally.

GPIO actions are triggered by contact closures on the GPIO connector on
the Maestro rear panel. For pinouts of the 44-pin GPIO connector, refer to

Table 12

. For a representative schematic of the GPIO port, refer to

Figure 105

.

The GPIO Definition table accommodates additional Sub systems for the
EAS messaging option; the new GPIO Sub systems are EAS Messaging
Warning, EAS Messaging Watch, EAS Messaging Test and EAS Messaging
User1 thru EAS Messaging User12.

Note

These names are user defined, you may name a Text Crawl whatever you
wish.

The GPIO Definition table can be found in the 5th Step: Input/Output Sets
area.
