Automatically Triggering a GPI Output
You can associate a GPI output with an input source, 
Media-Store channel, or matte. The GPI output is 
triggered whenever the associated source is taken to 
air. 
A user-configurable delay may also be set for each 
input that inserts a delay after the GPI output is 
triggered but before the source it taken to air. This is 
useful for VTR pre-roll delay and other situations 
where an input source is not immediately ready to 
take to air.
Note:
• It is recommended to assign edge triggered GPI 
outputs to input sources.
To associate a GPI output with an input source:
1. Press MENU.
2. Press the   CONFIG Wipe Pattern button.
3. Press the   Input knob to display the Input 
menu.
4. Press NEXT until GPO is displayed.
5.  Use the   Input knob to select an input source
6. Use the   GPO knob to select a GPI output to 
associate with the selected input source.
7. Use the   Predly knob to set the pre-delay 
interval (in frames) that the switcher waits after 
the GPI output is triggered before taking the 
input source on-air.
Note:
• You can not assign a GPI output to the Aux bus 
special sources (AUX PGM, AUX PV, AUX 
CLN, or AUX ALPHA) 
Overriding an Automatically Triggered GPI 
Output
You can quickly disable a GPI output trigger before a 
transition is performed.
To disable the GPI output trigger:
1. Prepare a transition using   DISS, 
WIPE, or   DVE as the transition type, but do 
not perform the transition.
2. Use the   RlClip knob to control whether the 
switcher triggers the GPI output before 
performing a transition. You can choose from 
the following:
• Off — The GPI output is not triggered and 
the pre-delay is ignored. The transition is 
performed immediately.
• On — The GPI output is triggered and the 
switcher pauses for the pre-delay before 
performing the transition.
Note:
• The RlClip personality option must be set to 
User for you to override GPI output triggering.
For More Information on...
• setting the RlClip personality option, refer to the 
section “Transition Area Behavior” on page 2-14.
Manually Triggering a GPI Output

Pattern button corresponding to the GPI output you

To manually trigger a GPI output:
1. Ensure that the   NEXT button secondary 
function is set to GPO.
2. Press and hold   NEXT.
