Automation
Use automation to control playback, the projector, and external devices.
•
Macros—A macro is a list of actions 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.
On CP4450-RGB projectors, playback automation is controlled through the GDC Integrated Media
Block (IMB). For more information, refer to the documentation provided with your IMB device.
On CP44xx-RGB projectors, the GDC IMB automation cue ON_Projector does not function in Standby
mode. To automate your show, first use the Scheduler to power on the IMB.
