The GPI (General Purpose
Interface) is a signal for synchronization that is produced by some consumer or
professional equipments and that is transmitted to compatible equipments.
One of the most frequent uses that it does, concern the combining between an
editing controller and a video mixer.
The responsible for the edition can for example make start a video transition or
effect of the mixer in a determined established point.
The edition control unit will transmit the sync signal to the mixer through the
GPI connection at the opportune moment.
The GPI Repeater, made by ELMAN, is an apparatus in a 2 unities container for
rack 19" that contains inside 32 independent circuits each of which has an input
and three outputs GPI.
Such outputs can control 3 different apparatuses, that have the necessity to
receive contemporarily the same command (type on/off).
Being the 3 outputs electrically separate one from the other, he doesn't take
the risk to damage the connected apparatuses; while if the apparatuses were
simply connected in parallel, the differences of voltage in continuous between
an apparatus and the other one could cause damages.
The GPI Repeater has 2 power supply circuits that work in parallel. In case of
damage of one of the two (verifiable from the turning off of the led on the
frontal panel), the operation of the apparatus is guaranteed by the second
feeding circuit.
