GPI
INPUTS
Vertigo XG devices can be equipped with an optional GPI card, which provides you with up
to eight (8) inputs for manually controlling a series of content playout actions. See the
“Vertigo XG Configuration Guide” for more information about the GPI card option.
The Vertigo Suite includes a GPI Server, which is an independent service that listens for
GPI triggers coming from the GPI card and then routes the trigger either to the playout
device for hardware bypass, or to Xplay which has been configured to match GPI inputs up
to specific playout actions.
The following sections provide instructions for configuring the GPI functionality using the
GPI Server and Xplay:
