Automation; Available Macro Actions - Christie CP2309-RGB User Manual

Automation

You use automation to control playback, the projector, and external devices. This section provides
instructions for managing and defining:
• Macros - A macro is a list of actions that you define. For example, opening the curtains or
turning on the house lights at the end of playback. A macro can be activated by a global
trigger, or it can be added to a playlist.
• Device Input Triggers - Input cues wait for events such as a general purpose input (GPI)
state change or an Ethernet message received on the projector management IP address port
5111. An input cue in a playlist delays playback until an event occurs.
• Global Triggers - A global trigger combines an input cue with a macro. When the predefined
event for the input cue occurs, the output macro is triggered. For example, a fire alarm input
signal could cause playback to stop and the house lights to come on. A global trigger is always
active and is not dependent on specific playlist definitions.
