On Air Settings
The on air settings let you enable on air indicators for the status bar, and set your Ultimatte to
lock its controls when the unit is on air.
NOTE These controls only work when tally signals are connected to the GPIO input
and properly configured from the external tally generator.
On Air
When this button is enabled, the unit indicator in the Smart Remote status bar will
illuminate red when on air. The unit identification number above its selection button will
also illuminate red.
On Air Lock
When enabled, the on air lock feature will lock all the controls for the unit currently on
air. This helps to prevent any accidental changes to a unit that is live on air.
GPI and Tally Settings
These settings enable or disable tally signals when connected to an external GPI and tally
interface. Tally lets you monitor on air indicators so you know when an Ultimatte unit is currently
on air. GPI inputs and outputs let you trigger Ultimatte preset files as GPI events, similar in
nature to loading and running macros.
GPIO MENU
The GPI inputs allow external devices to trigger saved setup files in each input in a pre-
determined order. The maximum number of events is defined by the number of GPI inputs,
therefore the number of events you can use is 5.
It is also possible for the main unit to trigger events in other devices using the GPI output.
This triggering can be done manually, or upon loading a file if the GPI output was saved as
part of that file.
CONTROL KNOBS
GPI OUT Delay Frames
This control sets the delay, in number of frames, between triggering the event and the execution
of the GPI output switch closure. The maximum delay is 120 Frames.
GPI Functions Buttons
GPI Output Save
In order to initiate a GPI output upon loading a file, the appropriate instructions must
be saved as part of that file. When 'GPI out save' is selected, the instructions to trigger
a GPI output will become part of the current workspace settings. When the current
workspace settings are saved as a setup file, the instructions to trigger the GPI output
are saved with this file.
When the saved file, which includes the triggering instructions, is loaded into the current
workspace, the triggering instructions will initiate the proper GPI output sequence.
GPI Out Low/High
Pressing this button toggles the GPI output state between low and high.
GPI Out
This provides a programmable state output, whose width and level are dependent on
the GPI out low/high setting and GPI out delay adjustment.
