Using a GPI Trigger Device
If your edit controller is automatic and has a GPI trigger, you can trigger each page in a project
with the controller. You might need a special cable to connect the GPI jacks from the GPI device to
the MX-4 DV.
WARNING
Always turn off power before plugging into any GPI jack.
The following instructions explain how to automatically trigger events using the device described
above. Instructions for other devices should be similar, but you should check the device instruc-
tions beforehand.
To use a GPI device as a trigger:
1 Connect the GPI device to the MX-4 DV using an appropriate cable.
2 Press the GPI trigger button when you want to trigger an event. You can trigger events
between scenes or anywhere in the middle of a scene. You can also trigger each event in a
Learned Script (refer to “Learned Scripts” beginning on page 103).
3 With the appropriate setup menu value, you can use the mixer to trigger other products (like a
Videonics TitleMaker).

EFAULTS
When you first power up the MX-4 DV, it operates using settings defined by FOCUS Enhance-
ments. As you go about using the MX-4 DV and changing its various settings, the unit stores your
settings in its memory (called NVRAM). You can reset all settings to their factory defaults.
To reset the MX-4 DV to its factory defaults:
1 Power down the unit (using the Power switch).
2 Press down and hold the SHIFT + SETUP / FTP buttons.
3 Turn on the MX-4 DV’s Power switch.
4 After the unit powers up and you see the Preview screen, release all buttons.
NOTE
A factory reset will not restore the original background and foreground jpegs which are included
when the MX-4 DV is shipped. Refer to the included CD or www.focusinfo.com to re-download the
original 12 inch Design graphics if desired. Apply the
SHIFT + ROUTE keys after powering down
the unit to remove all current jpegs on the system if desired before powering up again to import
new ones.
