GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Opto-isolated general purpose inputs (GPIs) can be configured to allow Summa to respond to external control
signals. Summa can also output control signals via general purpose output relays (GPOs) to control external
equipment.
To access the GPI setup screen, tap SYSTEM SETTINGS in the top right hand corner of the touch display and select
GPI from the left hand menu.

GPI Functions

GPI functions listed within the 'Functions' pop-up, are all specific to console functions. The 'Fader Cut' and 'Fader PFL'

to that port's fader cut even if the port is moved to a different fader.
