13.8 Manage Automation

You use automation to send and receive signals from 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 play
list.
• Input Cues - Input cues wait for events or an Ethernet message received on TPC port 5111. An input cue in
a play list waits for an event before a trailer starts. In a global trigger, a macro runs when an input cue 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
play list definitions.
