We know what you’re thinking. You’ve heard about AppleScript. You’ve heard that it can do amazing things. You’ve heard that it can automate away the tiring, redundant, repetitive tasks you do with the computer. All true. But you’re not sure about what’s involved with using it. Is it difficult? Is it programming? After all, you’re just a better-than average computer user. You know what you know, and your expertise serves you pretty well. But recently you’ve reached the point of asking yourself “Is there a better way?” The answer is “Yes.” And relax, you just got lucky. This book is for you. If you’ve never written a single line of computer code—this book is for you. If the most technical thing you do on the computer is calculate a column in Excel—this book is for you. If you’re tired of doing the same thing over and over—this book is for you. It’s about being motivated to explore, understand, and take advantage of the tools you already own. AppleScript is free—the only price for its use is your desire to finally sit down and take a few moments to absorb and activate its magic. This book starts at square one and walks you through the process of understanding and writing AppleScript—step by step, one concept at a time—until you find yourself suddenly creating powerful and useful automated solutions.

Softron GPI Commander 2 is a USB-to-GPI and GPI-to-USB conversion box. Designed to pass along AppleScript-based commands to and from other computers and devices, GPI Commander 2 is managed by the Mac-based GPI Commander app, available via free download. Commander 2 works with most of Softron's other Mac-based broadcast workflow automation software. It also works with applications from other vendors, provided they can send and/or receive AppleScripts. Or, by using the available SDK and writing your own code, you can directly address the hardware without employing AppleScript. (The hardware is also compatible with Windows; however, no software is supplied. You can control the unit by writing C code and an API is available upon request.) GPI Commander 2 connects to your computer via USB and receives power through the connection.Each of the DB-25 connector's 24 GPI inputs (open-collector type, common ground) can be assigned an AppleScript. When their contact-closure status changes, that triggers the AppleScript to run. This could, for instance, cause Softron's MovieRecorder to start recording, or the OnTheAir application could be scripted to begin its playlist. A single AppleScript can send multiple commands to multiple applications.There are also eight independent relay outputs on the "Phoenix" connector for sending GPI commands to other computers and devices. Each GPI Commander 2 unit has a unique serial ID, so you can attach more devices to your host computer via USB to expand the possible inputs and/or outputs.
