Using a GPI Trigger Device

WARNING!

ALIBRATING THE
If your edit controller is automatic and has GPI trigger, you can trigger each page in a
project with the controller. You might need a special cable to connect the GPI jacks
from the GPI device to MXPro.
Always turn off power before plugging into any GPI jack.
The following instructions explain how to automatically trigger events using the device
described above. Instructions for other devices should be similar, but you should check
the device instructions beforehand.
Procedure
To use a GPI device as a trigger:
1 Connect the GPI device to MXPro using an appropriate cable.
2 Press the GPI trigger button when you want to trigger an event. You can trigger
events between scenes or anywhere in the middle of a scene. You can also trigger
each event in a Learned Script (see "Learned Scripts" beginning on page 109).
T-BAR
If you suspect that the T-BAR is not functioning properly, it might need re-calibration.
A symptom of an incorrectly calibrated T-BAR might be that transitions do not run
correctly from start-to-finish in each direction.
Procedure
To re-calibrate the T-BAR:
1
Turn MXPro off.
2
Press and hold SHIFT+INPUT EFFECTS while turning the unit back on.
3
When the LED light above INPUT EFFECTS comes on, release SHIFT and INPUT
EFFECTS.
4 Move the T-BAR near the top of its slot, then press the UP ARROW key. The
Video LED (above the VIDEO/AUDIO selector) lights up.

Do not push the T-BAR hard against the
top or bottom of its slot during calibration.
This over-calibrates the T-BAR and might
prevent transitions from executing properly.
