GPIO Out (QIO-GP8x8)
The QIO-GP8x8 includes eight General Purpose Output pins for extension of Q-SYS Control to third-party devices. In the Q-SYS Designer Software component properties, you can configure the output signal type for each pin – digital, open collector, or raw.
The GPIO Out component represents the GPIO OUTPUT connection pins on the rear of the QIO-GP8x8. Use one of the included 10-position Euro connectors.
+12V
12V DC, 0.1A output.
1-8
Eight outputs, user-configurable in the component Properties. Pins 1-8 are the equivalent of pins 1-8 in the Q-SYS Designer Software GPIO Out component.
Ground
Signal ground reference for GPIO output connections.
Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.
GPIO-1 to 8
Type
Select the type of GPIO output:
- Digital Output (TTL 3.3V): 3.3VDC is supplied to the GPIO output pin when the Output control is enabled.
- Open Collector (200mA): 24V, 200mA max with pull-up to +3.3V.
- Raw: This mode is for advanced capabilities. If there is something you cannot do using the other choices, contact Q-SYS Support for assistance.
Output
This button sends a 0 in the Off position and a 1 (3.3V TTL) in the On position.
Invert
This button is available when the Type is Raw.

Q-SYS device GPIO output states are undefined during boot-up and design redeploy. In the following table, "While On" and "While Off" indicate the button setting as defined in the running design file. During a reboot or redeploy, the setting may toggle depending on the GPIO type before returning to the defined setting after the design starts running.
Bold text indicates a temporary GPIO setting during boot-up and redeploy.
