GPI/Play Remote Input
Instant Replay includes a General Purpose Interface (GPI) that duplicates the P LAY button. It is on a
1/8” mini phone jack on the back panel. Connect a momentary switch (console button, footswitch,
etc.) to the back panel jack marked GPI/PLAY. The Configuration Menu contains an item GPI
INPUT. To access it, press M
ENU , then use the S CROLL A RROW K EYS to select CONFIGURATION
and press E NTER again. Use the S CROLL A RROW K EYS to select GPI INPUT and be sure it is set to
ENABLE. If it is set to DISABLE, press E NTER , then the U P A RROW key and E NTER again. Press
M ENU to return to normal operation.
When you activate the remote momentary switch, Instant Replay will behave as if you had pressed
P
LAY . You can also initiate recording remotely by putting Instant Replay in Record Ready and
activating the remote switch.
Note that activating the remote switch will also cancel P AUSE if it is active. While Instant Replay is
Paused, pressing a Hot-Key displays the Assigned Cut’s title and statistics but does not play it. This
lets you check the Hot-Key assignment silently, and is most useful in a live broadcast or performance
application. For example, an engineer can find and cue up a Hot-Key Cut to be played, and on-air
talent can start playback with the remote switch.
