By default upon connection to an Ethernet network, a valid IP address for the Cine-
IPM 2K will be automatically assigned by a DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server
present on your network, or if you want to use a specific static IP address for the
Cine-IPM 2K, you can set this address in the Ethernet Settings menu or via an ASCII
serial command.
Regardless of how it is assigned, once a Cine-IPM 2K has a valid and unique address
it will respond immediately to commands sent to this address. To determine the Cine-
IPM 2K's current IP address, consult the Status or Communications menus.
Refer to 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls for further
information about setting up and using a Cine-IPM 2K connected via Ethernet.
The GPIO Port
The General Purpose In-Out (GPIO) port enables integration of the Cine-IPM 2K
within an established control system so that other devices connected via GPIO can
operate in tandem with Cine-IPM 2K, or vice versa. ASCII commands sent via
standard serial ports can be stored in Cine-IPM 2K memory, where they can then
trigger a sequence of events in response to incoming or outgoing signals at the GPIO
port, depending on your programming of the GPIO pins. For example, you can
automatically dim the room lighting when the Cine-IPM 2K is turned on, or
automatically turn the unit off when the lights are raised.
