17.1 About General Purpose Inputs & Outputs (GPIO)
The Barco Cinema Controller and the Barco ICMP are equipped with GPIO ports. The electrical specifications
described in this chapter are the same for both GPIO ports.
General Purpose inputs
The Barco Cinema Controller and the Barco ICMP have each eight (8) opto-isolated general purpose inputs available. These inputs
are used to trigger the execution of macro files. For more explanation about the association of a macro to a GPI, consult the user
guide of the Communicator.
Input voltage
The inputs can be directly driven from a TTL or CMOS output.
• The shape of the pulse must be rectangular.
• The duration of the pulse must be at least 50 milliseconds (shorter pulses are considered as a switch bounce)
• Minimum voltage : V
• Maximum voltage : V
External power supply
When interfacing with contact closure outputs, an external power supply needs to be provided. Depending upon the configuration a
suitable pull-up resistor needs to be added as well.

Cables
When long cable connections are required the use of shielded cables with twisted pairs is recommended. One twisted pair is to be
assigned to each GP Input pair.
How to make the connection
When the power supply used to provide the DC voltage is isolated from ground (for example in the case of an AC adapter) it is
recommended that the minus pole of that power supply is connected to ground (or to the projector chassis). This will avoid high
common mode voltages at the projector GP Inputs. If that same power supply is used for other parts of the system, take care not to
create ground loops. In any case when shielded cables are used that shield should be connected to the projector chassis.
General Purpose outputs
The Barco Cinema Controller and the Barco ICMP have each eight (8) opto-isolated outputs available. Four (4) of the outputs on
the Cinema Controller are dedicated for TI. The other general purpose outputs can be controlled via software.
About an output
The output can generate a falling edge, rising edge, toggle or continuous toggle.
