ORKING WITH THE
Television screens have a small area around the edges of the screen where you should not
place title information because that area can easily become distorted. At your option,
PowerScript displays a border showing where it is safe to place titles without distortion.
Alternately entering Ctrl+G shows and hides the safe area border. The border appears
only on the Preview monitor.
If you activate the Safe Title Area and Hot Borders at the same time, then scroll outside
the screen's safe title area, the safe title border moves with the screen. Therefore, only a
portion of the safe title area border appears on-screen.

ORKING WITH
Using GPI, Time Triggers, and Auto-Start, you can invoke PowerScript projects and other
files from external devices or time-based factors. This section explains how to use these
features. It also explains how to play a project or display a graphic from a remote loca-
tion.

Using GPI

A GPI ( G eneral P urpose I nterface) external device (such as the Videonics Edit Suite ™)
can send signals to PowerScript. PowerScript has two GPI input connectors—GPI 1 and
GPI 2. A contact closure on either of these inputs can trigger a specific project, or it can
trigger the next page in the current project.
