GPIO to be active and if required reverse its polarity Configuring the GPIO Mask The GPIO Mask tab controls which of the eight GPIOs are active The GPI 100 will only generate triggers for enabled GPIOs in encode mode and will ignore changes in the GPIO state of unchecked GPIOs While decoding triggers from the VANC the GPI 100 will only drive GPIOs that are enabled It is therefore possible to have the encode card generate triggers that the decode card will not react to For example an encode card could generate GPIO1 and GPIO2 at different times A decode card could be set to respond to GPIO1 while another card responds to GPIO2 To configure a GPIO to be active 1 Select the GPIO Mask tab ime AMEPOA GPIO Polarity GPIO Mask Tab 2 From the provided list select the box es for the GPIOs you wish to enable 3 Click Save to apply the changes GPIO Polarity By default connecting a GPIO input on the encoding GPI 100 to ground i e a Closed switch causes a Low logic level A decoding GPI 100 will faithfully reflect this Low logic level on the corresponding GPIO output An Open input on the encoder is a High logic level which will produce a High at the output of a decoding GPI 100 In summary the GPIO output state of the decoder is identical to the GPIO input state of the encoder The GPIO Polarity tab enables you to reverse the polarity of the specified GPIO GPI 100 User Manual Iss 04 Configuration 4 3 To reverse th
