Adding GPI output triggers to playlists

You can assign GPI output triggers to events and sections in a playlist. The GPI outputs can be used to trigger external equipment when the list plays. Before you can use GPI output triggers in a list, you must use Configuration Manager to assign GPI outputs to a channel that is running the Playlist application. If you want to play a list that was created on another channel, you must ensure that GPI triggers assigned to all applicable channels use the same names, otherwise the GPI triggers will not occur. Using identical GPI naming also allows copying and pasting sections and events between lists to be played on different channels.

To trigger GPI outputs:

  1. Use Configuration Manager to assign GPI outputs to the current Playlist channel by selecting System | Configuration.
  2. Make the changes to the GPI settings.
  3. Select an event or section in the playlist, then open the properties dialog box by doing one of the following:
    • Click the Properties button.
    • Right-click on an event or section and select Properties.
  4. Select Trigger GPI, then use the drop-down list to select a GPI output. If no GPI outputs are listed, use Configuration Manager to assign GPI outputs to the current channel, then return to this step.
  5. Select the trigger action for the GPI output:
    Action Trigger point
    Start of event or section First frame of event or section
    End of event or section Last frame of event or section
    Start plus Start of event or section plus the time you enter. Offset should not exceed the event or section total length.If the offset time entered exceeds the event or section length, a warning message is displayed.
    End minus End of event or section minus the time you enter. Offset should not exceed the event or section total length. If the offset time entered exceeds the event or section length, a warning message is displayed.
  6. Click OK to save settings.
