General Purpose Inputs and Outputs
General Purpose Inputs and Outputs (GPIOs) enable you to configure a matrix input or output that triggers an external device. For example, a switch could form an input to the matrix that triggered a matrix event, or a panel key could trigger an output that operated a warning light in a studio.
The Eclipse HX matrix has eight General Purpose Inputs (GPIs) and eight General Purpose Outputs (GPOs) on the processor card and these are automatically added to EHX in the Matrix Hardware screen as module 0. You can add further GPIs and GPOs to the system using GPI-6 and RLY-6 modules respectively. These interface modules fit into slots in the matrix frame.
