Production Switchers

Is it possible to set up a device so that when roll clip is active and on-air, the switcher will send 2 GPO triggers (one to eject current clip, second to roll clip)? I'm helping another station in our group set up with BitCentral Precis and Carbonite, and they want to eliminate the manual rolling of clips, but when one clip is still rolling in a channel, it must be ejected before rolling the next video.

Hi Aaron,

You can not setup 2 GPO on a single source. Further this is dangerous as if you just had the one clip loaded would it not eject it anyway and move to the next clip every time?

Would it not be better to have a Custom Control so that you can Eject the clip first and then have Roll Clip function as desired?

There is an option in the Precis that would cause ALL clips to remain loaded in their channel once they have finished playing, which would avoid the situation of skipping some clips and create a scenario that will allow the eject/play to work without skipping clips. My goal was to create a "hands-off" experience for the director/td so that they never have to eject anything, and I wasn't sure if that was a possibility with the current software/firmware. Ideally, I would like to be able to attach a custom control to a source that will execute whenever roll clip is active and the source is taken to air. If that isn't possible, then they will just have to eject clips as needed...but I thought I'd ask, as it would make things easier in the multi-tasking environment they work in.
