I'd like to trigger lighting commands based on the time code of video clips playing. Am I able to trigger a contact closure output pulse to achieve this? In the "Video Time Code Events" screen to create a pulse do I need to create 2 entries per desired event? 1 for "On" 1 for "Off" with a timeout of 500ms apart? Also is the text entry field used to specify what GPIO port I'd like to use?
Thanks!
John,
To increase manageability, I would simply send a zone message at the desired time codes.
Lets just call the message "lightpulse".
Then on a different zone, that has no visual content, I would use the Zone Event with an Event Handler state to process the GPIO timing.
This way if you need to change your pulse width, you control it in a single place, instead of changing all of your timecode events.
I hope that makes sense.
