GPI timeline
For a keyframe effect controlled from the control panel,
the GPI timeline allows you to set an action (setting a
trigger output from a particular GPI output port) at a
keyframe point on the GPI timeline. At any keyframe
point, you can make a maximum of eight GPI output port
settings.
GPI timeline actions
The actions that can be used on the GPI timeline are as
follows.
• SIU GPI output port
Creating and Editing the GPI
Timeline
You can set GPI output ports to be registered at a keyframe
point, and create the GPI timeline.
For details about keyframe creation, see "Creating and
Editing Keyframes" (page 310).
For the GPI output settings (keyframe editing), use the
Device menu.
The data set in the Device menu is saved in a keyframe
effect register. When you recall the register and start
execution of the keyframe effect, and advance the effect to
the keyframe point for which the GPI output is set, a
trigger pulse is output to the external device from the
specified GPI output port.
