On the monitor wall, you can now load the layout containing the monitors that were
assigned information from the Alpermann+Velte timer system. Text and status information
from the device will be visible on the monitor wall. Any changes made by the device’s
operator will be immediately reflected on the monitor wall.
GPI-1501 General Purpose Interface I/O Module
The GPI-1501 is a 2RU Densité card that provides 20 dedicated GPI (General Purpose
Interface) inputs plus eight terminals that can be individually configured as either a GPI
input or GPI output. You may add one or more GPI-1501 modules to your multiviewer
configuration to supplement the multiviewer’s existing GPI interface or, in the case of a
Kaleido-Modular-X system, to provide such an interface. Kaleido-MX, and Kaleido-MX 4K
multiviewers ship with a pre-configured GPI-1501 card.
For example, you may resort to the GPI interface to receive tally information from a switcher
whose specific protocol the multiviewer does not support, assuming the switcher is
capable of communicating via GPI.
For your multiviewer to receive status information from a GPI-1501 module, and to display
the module’s contribution on the monitor wall as visual tally information, you need to
configure your multiviewer’s GPI-1501 service, by performing the following tasks in XEdit:
1 Add the GPI-1501 module to your multiviewer system configuration, and set up the
communication parameters (see Adding a GPI-1501 Module to your Multiviewer
Configuration on page 402).
