GPI and Tally Interface
GPI and Tally Interface is a low cost alternative for multi-camera productions where a camera
control unit, or CCU, operator needs to switch video from one of several cameras being
controlled to a single monitor. It features 8 configurable GPIs and 8 configurable GPOs.
The GPIs send commands to your Videohub by ethernet to switch the selected camera to the
operator's monitor under certain crosspoint conditions. The GPOs send a tally signal to your
cameras or other devices under certain crosspoint conditions.
