MX-4 DV USER GUIDE CHAPTER 13

11Solder the wires of the other end of the cord to the poles from the tip and base of the stereo mini-pin plug (F). If you aren’t sure which poles are which, ask at the store when you make the purchase.

12Plug your new remote trigger plug into the GPI jack on the MX-4 DV rear panel.

Using a GPI Trigger Device

If your edit controller is automatic and has a GPI trigger, you can trigger each page in a project with the controller. You might need a special cable to connect the GPI jacks from the GPI device to the MX-4 DV.

WARNING

Always turn off power before plugging into any GPI jack.

The following instructions explain how to automatically trigger events using the device described above. Instructions for other devices should be similar, but you should check the device instruc- tions beforehand.

To use a GPI device as a trigger:

1Connect the GPI device to the MX-4 DV using an appropriate cable.

2Press the GPI trigger button when you want to trigger an event. You can trigger events between scenes or anywhere in the middle of a scene. You can also trigger each event in a Learned Script (refer to “Learned Scripts” beginning on page 103).

3With the appropriate setup menu value, you can use the mixer to trigger other products (like a Videonics TitleMaker).

RESETTING THE MX-4 DV FACTORY DEFAULTS

When you first power up the MX-4 DV, it operates using settings defined by FOCUS Enhance- ments. As you go about using the MX-4 DV and changing its various settings, the unit stores your settings in its memory (called NVRAM). You can reset all settings to their factory defaults.

To reset the MX-4 DV to its factory defaults:

1Power down the unit (using the Power switch).

2Press down and hold the SHIFT+SETUP/FTP buttons.

3Turn on the MX-4 DV’s Power switch.

4After the unit powers up and you see the Preview screen, release all buttons.

NOTE

A factory reset will not restore the original background and foreground jpegs which are included when the MX-4 DV is shipped. Refer to the included CD or www.focusinfo.com to re-download the original 12 inch Design graphics if desired. Apply the SHIFT+ROUTE keys after powering down the unit to remove all current jpegs on the system if desired before powering up again to import new ones.
