Control of GPI Devices

You can control a GPI external device via a GPI output

Operate an external device using a GPI timeline.

GPI Timeline

A GPI timeline is an effect timeline for a GPI device.
You can configure a GPI output port as an action at a
keyframe point on an effect timeline to operate a GPI
device.
Up to eight GPI output ports that output a trigger pulse can
be configured for a single keyframe point.
Executing a GPI timeline outputs a trigger pulse to an
external device from a GPI output port at the keyframe
point for which an action is configured.
