GPI trigger for PC ? at DVinfo.net

Jay Sanchez · February 3rd, 2005, 11:19 AM

I would like to remotely trigger my computer (hit return) to start recording narration from my audio booth to my computer workstation (into Sound Forge or into AVID).

Has anyone built a GPI trigger that allows this or does anyone make such a device. I believe something would have to be built using the serial port ...

FYI, GPI = (general purpose interface)

nope.
heck, avid still hasn;t even seen it fit to add recordable macros.
I figure with a little bit of luck they will enter the 20th century by 2008.
