1 GVG Encore / Prelude / Jupiter & SMS 7000 Family Routers The cable details in the boxes refer to the cable connectors. In TallyMan be sure to set priority numbers for the active Router Buses and set the correct Level, with the ASCII code. The SMS7000 router needs an AMEZI serial interface to be installed. Start with Level 0 in the TallyMan settings. The system will only import the names that exist on the selected level. The level names can be viewed under "Edit Levels". The GVG Encore/SMS 7000 router is different from other manufacturers routers in that it uses only names to identify the following: levels inputs outputs. The TSL TallyMan Controller uses the names that are programmed into the router to deduce the cross point information. The TallyMan program will allow access to the up-loading of the router s names when the Read Names button is pressed in the screen. In the TallyMan program, in the Router Properties box menu item, the video level could show something like 0:128SDV The leading part of the names in the UMD Controller must match exactly the names in the router, including case, punctuation and spacing. The easiest way to ensure this has happened is to select Read Names and then import them to the UMD mnemonics. Allow a few moments (10~20 secs) for the update box to appear, when OK is pressed. However, if the Encore/SMS 7000 names are, say, only 5 characters long, any default name in the Edit router source names box e.g. SRCE 1, will not be completely overwritten. For example, the 1 part of SRCE 1 will remain. This is so user-mnemonics may be added to the TSL router lists as long as the leading names/mnemonics match those from the SMS7000. V3.0 Oct 09 3 Routers

Router Names may be copied across to the UMD mnemonics. Current software will overwrite the names entirely on a router upload but the user can then still enter the additional user-mnemonic part. e.g. CAM1 Bob Bob is the user- entered part of the mnemonic. CAM1 has been uploaded from the SMS 7000. This facility will be especially useful for 16 character displays. Connections The TallyMan Controller usually connects into the SMS 7000 router via the ASYNC I/F connector(s), depending on configuration of the SMS 7000. If more than one connector is fitted, it can configured either be as MAIN/STANDBY or as two separate control connectors. There may be one or two serial ports available on the SMS 7000. Either can be used, as long as the port is set correctly. The connector supports both RS232 and RS422 standards. The TallyMan Controller is fitted with an RS422 interface (connected as a Device), and is identified as a socket on the chassis. The Encore routers use a RJ45 connector.

TallyMan Programming General The Pesa router is different from other manufacturers routers in that it uses names and levels to identify the following: levels inputs outputs. TallyMan uses the names that are programmed into the router to deduce the cross point information. The TallyMan program will allow access to the up-loading of the router s names when the Configure Router Names button is pressed in main router screen. In the TallyMan program, in Router Properties, the Level could show something like 0:128SDV The leading part of the names in the Controller must match exactly the names in the router, including case, punctuation and spacing. The easiest way to ensure this is to force an Import Router Database Names to Mnemonics. This is achieved via the Read Names button. Allow a few moments (10~20 secs) for the update box to appear, when OK is pressed. User-mnemonics may be added to the TSL router lists as long as the leading names/mnemonics match those from the Pesa Router. Router Names may be copied across to the UMD mnemonics. V3.0 Oct 09 14 Routers

5 GVG Thomson/Philips/BTS Routers The cable details in the boxes refer to the cable connectors. The router cable is normally plugged into a Comms Port on the TallyMan Controller. In TallyMan be sure to set priority numbers for the active Router Buses. The Jupiter VM3000 needs to be programmed with a set of CP input and output tables, for the ASCII interface to the Controller (similar to setting up a control panel). This will allow which sources and destinations TallyMan looks at by compiling these tables. The ASCII protocol used does not support transfer of mnemonics between the Jupiter and third party Controllers; this is a limitation imposed by Philips. Routers Using BTS ASCII Interface In order for TallyMan to communicate with the router, the correct type of interface must be installed and configured inside the router main frame. One serial port, on the rear of the BTS control system must be allocated for use with TallyMan and configured as an ASCII port. The Source and Destination tables must be built for this port and the file saved back to configure the router. The connector supports both RS232 and RS422 standards. The serial interconnection cable between the BTS router and the TallyMan Controller should be wired as shown below.

Baud Rate: 38K4 with ASCII interface Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Refer to the BTS Control system (Installation & Operation) manuals for details on: Hardware Installation... BTS ASCII 2-49 (computer interface protocol) Software Installation... Serial protocol 3-28 MPK devices 3-44 Notes. During operation, TallyMan initiates a Watch Output command, at the rate of 1 bus per second for each for each bus it is interested in. The router immediately replies with a status as well as responding to any changes on that bus. For the ASCII interface within the Jupiter config, you must define sets of inputs, outputs and levels and associate them with the ASCII configured port. The index numbers on the left of these sets determine the numbers sent in the ASCII protocol to TallyMan. If unsure of level number, then tick the "Multi Level" box in TM and specify e.g. 8 levels. It is, however normally preferable to operate as single level if you are only interested in one level, as it removes unnecessary compilations in subsequent programming. Note that only those levels specified in the CP Level set will appear on the interface. V3.0 Oct 09 16 Routers

6 Snell & Wilcox / ProBel Routers The cable details in the boxes refer to the cable connectors. In TallyMan be sure to set priority numbers for the active Router Buses. Problems with communication are invariably due to incorrect configuring of the ProBel port. Check whether the protocol set in the router is SWP02 or SWP08. System - General Setup Set the number of the router video and matrix levels. For General Remote Protocol, System 3 (SWP08), Aurora and Freeway, this starts at 00 (zero). For General Switcher protocol, System 2 (SWP02), this starts at 01. Check in the router manual for router matrix number setting. If there is doubt as to the correct number, start at 0. A control port on the TallyMan Controller is fitted with an RS422 interface; this is identified as a D9 socket. In order for TallyMan to communicate with a router, it is necessary for the correct type of interface to be installed and configured inside the router main frame. ProBel routers need to have a Remote (communications) Port assigned and configured to act as an interface to TallyMan. In order to achieve this, a computer terminal needs to be connected to the router maintenance interface port and the router configured to the following specification: Communication details. General Remote Protocol SWP08 / General Switcher Protocol SWP02 RS422 38400 baud 8 bit data No parity One stop bit Set the Remote Port to be General Remote or General Switcher protocol, as appropriate.

7 Evertz / Quartz Routers The cable details in the boxes refer to the cable connectors. The router cable is plugged into a Comms Port on the TallyMan Controller. In TallyMan be sure to set priority numbers for the active Router Buses. The Quartz routers, Q1600/Q3200, may not have a suitable serial interface installed and it must be fitted retrospectively if the routers were ordered without the interface board. The router serial interface may be configured as RS232 or RS422 by changing the position of the jumpers on the card. All jumpers must be set the same way. See the following charts for connection details.

8 Sony Routers MVS/DVS Series The cable details in the boxes refer to the cable connectors. The router cable is plugged into a Comms Port on the TallyMan Controller. In TallyMan be sure to set priority numbers for the active Router Buses. The communication is RS422 and operates at 38K4 baud. ROT 16 is supported TALLYMAN TM1/TM2 CONTROLLER RS-422 SONY ROUTER RS-422 3 7 8 2 4 SCN 4 7 3 2 8 6 SCN 6 The protocol is multi-drop, allowing multiple devices to be on the bus. This allows for several routers to be controlled, or monitored from one serial port. Addressing on the Sony equipment is by means of a DIP switch. This address is designated Unit Address 2. Addressing is bit mapped. This allows operations to take place on more than one router at a time, i.e. Video + Audio etc. In the TallyMan Controller, the address is set by using the Video Level number and the addresses generated are as follows:- TALLYMAN CONTROLLER VIDEO LEVEL DECIMAL SONY UNIT ADDRESS 2 HEXADECIMAL 1 1 0x01 2 2 0x02 3 4 0x04 4 8 0x08 5 16 0x10 6 32 0x20 7 64 0x40 8 128 0x80 This facility precludes an automatic update from the router to the TallyMan Controller. This normally provides a quick update when a change occurs. With 16 or less outputs and inputs, the complete status can be requested and this is done twice a second to keep display update time reasonably short. Set the IP address to be in the same group as the TallyMan TMx unit. The Port in TallyMan must be set to 8004. Assign a spare SBUS number to the TM system. V3.0 Oct 09 22 Routers
