The GPI OUT card is an Output-only card.
The information displayed in the first part is merely descriptive and shows previously as the path of the resource that you are editing is displayed
•Type: Shows the resource type
•VTR type: PLAY (for transmission with VTR) or REC (for events' acquisition and ingest).
•Number: Indicates the ordinal number that identifies that resource in case others of the same type co-exist.
The user must enter the following information:
•Name: Description of the resource you are editing.
•Driver: Indicate the driver you use to manage the Output card
•Remote PC data: If you want to transmit a string representing the status of GPI to a remote PC, enter the PC's IP address and Local Port (example.: IP address 198.120.254.120 Local Port = 6000); otherwise, leave the fields blank.

GPI OUT Resource Editor - User
After indicating which user and which software the resource has to be installed for, you have to set other data:
I/O hex address - Indicate the Output card address (the default is 0380).
Usable bits: If it's necessary only to use some 8 bits, this may be because another program uses the others. It's possible to define which 8-bits (gpi) can be used. This possibility can be helpful, e.g., if AUTOMATION and SPLIT, which share the same GPI card, cohabit on the same PC. It is also beneficial to use the bits from 1 to 4 for AUTOMATION and the bits from 5 to 8 for SPLIT. (WARNING: not all the modules keep account of that parameter. Only AUTOMATION currently keeps count of it).
(If what is mentioned above is not a necessity, start all the bits as default)
