The Playout panel does not support selection-based playout. For the Playout panel to work,
indices for the channels being controlled must be set up.
Checklist: Setting up the GPI Panel
A GPI panel is alternative playback control device that can be used to control playout
through Command. GPI panels connect to a GPI card installed in the Command Server.
A GPI panel allows a user to select up to four channels, with each channel having its own set
of Control buttons for play, cue, pause, and stop functionality. Configuring the system to
work with a GPI panel requires defining certain parameters through the Avid Service
Configuration application, the Avid Workgroup Properties application, and the system
settings in Command itself.
Before configuration can begin, you should verify installation of all necessary applications
and components. To ensure a successful setup, complete the following tasks in the order that
they are listed. If you are viewing this checklist online, you can easily link to a topic that
provides procedural details for the task. Return to this main checklist after you have
completed each task.
