Axia GPIO for Show Profile Switching (iQ, Radius,
RaQ, and DesQ series consoles only)
Published on Dec 16, 2024
Article summary
Scope
This document covers the configuration of GPIO for control, and an indication of Show
Profiles in the iQ-series consoles. At the time of this writing, this includes;
iQ or Radius (with a QOR console engine)
iQx (built-in console engine)
iQs (virtual console with AE1000 engine)
Description
In addition to manually loading show profiles from the console surface, Show Profiles can be
recalled and the current profile indicated by GPIO. This is most useful when you want
something external to load the profile.; for example, an automation system.
Configuration
Remote control for Show Profiles and their status uses multicast GPIO (an unused Livewire
channel) to communicate status with a GPIO port somewhere on the system. The GPIO port
could be a physical port on the back of a QOR or GPIO node where you would physically
connect wires to the inputs for control and output to drive status lamps, control a switcher,
etc.
Additionally, virtual GPIO ports like those found on the Axia IP-Audio Driver are
controllable by my third-party automation systems and require no wiring. The premise is the
iQ Console Show Profiles are also controllable using Pathfinder. GPIO is NOT required.
This method is provided as an alternate method for control and monitoring of the Show
Profile.
same. GPI 2 loads Profile A regardless of whether a physical or virtual port trips the pin.
In addition to controlling what Profile is loaded, the associated GPO (output) is active anytime
the Profile is active. Load Profile A, GPO 2 is active. Load profile B, GPO 3 is active.
Show Profile GPIO Configuration
1. Log in to the Web Page of the console you are configuring.
2. On the left side menu, click the Shows link.
3. Enter an unused Livewire channel in the Logic Port for Show Switching.
4. Click Save.
We do not provide support for any automation system configuration directly. Please
contact your automation vendor for information on controlling Axia GPIO.
One practical application is to control a switcher or other audio route based on what
Profile is loaded. For example, when the "On Air" profile is loaded, the Record Bus
might be routed to the Automation system for recording phone calls, etc. When a
"Production" profile is loaded, some other Program Bus is routed to the automation or
recording software inputs.

QPIO Ports on a QOR
GPIO Ports on an xNode
GPIO on an Axia IP-Audio Driver
Note that the GPIO channel entered in the previous step DOES NOT ADVERTISE. You
must type the channel manually in the following configurations.
The GPIO channel in the Axia Driver and the Audio Channel do NOT need to match. It's
okay to use channel 1001 for audio output and channel 16104 for GPIO.
