52.2.5.1 GPI

ad insertion gpi configuration
NB: The "GPI" tab would not be visible if AD Insertion is in Automation mode.

Reminder: All GPIs are zero (0) based.

INPUT

• GPI to start the cluster
When using an external GPI to trigger the start of commercial clusters (i.e. simulate pressing the button), indicate the number of the GPI input to be used.
- GPI number: If set to "-1", no GPI would be used, whereas "0" means that the first input should be used (1=second, 2=third and so on).
- Delay for a start (ms.): It allows the insert of a delay to trigger the start command when receiving the GPI signal.

• GPI to stop the cluster
In case of using an external GPI to trigger the stop of commercial clusters (i.e. simulate pressing the button), indicate the number of the GPI input to be used.
- GPI number: If set to "-1", no GPI would be used, whereas "0" means that the first input should be used (1=second, 2=third and so on).

• GPI Type
Indicate if the received GPI input signal stops the transmission. This section works the same for the GPI to start the cluster and the one to stop it.
- Falling edge: The "Start GPI" command would be executed each time the received GPI signal switches from 1 to 0.
- Raising edge: The "Start GPI" command would be executed each time the received GPI signal switches from 0 to 1.
NB: During the configuration, trying both types to find the ideal one that meets the requirement is recommended. Moreover, once the type is correctly set, it MUST NOT be changed; otherwise, the transmission will not work as expected (e.g., clusters will start immediately).
NB: It is possible to configure and use the same GPI to start and stop the cluster.

OUTPUT

• ON AIR GPI
Specify the GPI to be activated during on-air.
- GPI to activate during the on-air: Indicate "-1" when no GPI is used, "0" for the first GPI, "1" for the second and so on.

• END GPI
Specify the GPI to be activated at the end of the cluster; remember that the first GPI is "0", the second GPI is "1", and so on.
- GPI to be activated at the end of the cluster: Indicate "-1" when no GPI is used, "0" for the first GPI, "1" for the second and so on.
- At how many msec. From the end: Indicate how many milliseconds before ending the cluster the GPI should be activated.
- Permanence in msec.: Set the permanence time in milliseconds to activate the end of the cluster.

• Before or after the return jingle: Select whether to start the end GPI before or after the return jingle.

• GPI CLONE->TX
Set the GPI output to be triggered when the clone server becomes TX (i.e. primary).
- GPI to activate when CLONE becomes TX: Indicate "-1" when no GPI is used, "0" for the first GPI, "1" for the second and so on.
