ONFIGURATION

ANE
The INPUT GPI settings make it possible to configure the action to be triggered on
a given player channel of the XT server when a given key is pressed on a GPI
connected to this XT server.
Eight GPI inputs can be used on an XT server. For each of them, the action it
performs, the channel it is controlling and the way it is triggered must be defined
from the combo boxes in the settings window.
In the IP Director workspace, the triggered action will be reflected in the open
applications to which the player channel has been assigned.
Only the GPI keys set up to be managed by IP Director on the XT server can be
configured in the INPUT GPI Configuration pane. The other ones will be greyed
out.
For each INPUT GPI, the following information needs to be defined:
• The action triggered by the GPI key on the XT server.
• The player channel on which the action needs to be executed.
• The type of trigger signal sent by the GPI to XT server.
Example
In the above example, when the GPI key 1 is pressed on the XT server 03_XT3,
this triggers a playback action on the PGM1 player channel of the XT3 server. The
trigger signal is a rising edge pulse. With the configuration defined below, the IP
Director will show the triggered action in any application that displays the given
player channel.
The following sections describe in details the various fields in the INPUT GPI
Configuration pane:
A
CTION
The Action field allows the user to define the action that will be triggered by the
GPI key. The value defined in the Action drop-down list box for a GPI key is also
defined in the Setup Configuration of the XT server. Modifying the action type on
IP Director will update the corresponding value in the XT server Setup
Configuration and vice versa.
