FS4 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v1.1

NOTE:

In the table below, Vid<n> indicates which Video Processor will perform the action in Four
Channel Mode, and V1-V4 is displayed on the FS4 front panel. In Single Channel Mode Vid
appears on the front panel, because only one Video Processor is available.

Interaction of
Presets and GPIs

If you use a GPI input trigger to recall a preset, the recall changes the

GPI IN Response

setting to whatever

GPI IN Response

setting the preset contains. As the following

examples explain, this feature offers both the power of serial recalls and the possibility of
triggering a recall that changes

GPI IN Response

to something unintended.

Example of a Serial

Recall

The advantage of using

GPI IN Response

with presets is that you can trigger a series or

even a looping series of preset recalls. For example, suppose

GPI IN 1 Response

in Preset 1

is set to Preset 2, and

GPI IN Response

in Preset 2 is set to Preset 1. Triggering the GPI will

toggle between the two presets.

Example of an

Unintended Recall

Suppose you trigger

GPI IN 1

while the current

GPI IN 1 Response

parameter is set to

Preset 1. This recalls Preset 1 as expected. However, suppose Preset 1 contains a stored

GPI IN 1 Response

setting of

No Action

. If you trigger GPI IN 1 later, expecting to recall
