1 GVG Encore / Prelude / Jupiter & SMS 7000 Family <strong>Router</strong>s<br />

• The cable details in the boxes refer to the cable connectors.<br />

• In TallyMan be sure to set priority numbers for the active <strong>Router</strong> Buses and set the<br />

correct Level, with the ASCII code.<br />

• The SMS7000 router needs an AMEZI serial interface to be installed.<br />

• Start with Level 0 in the TallyMan settings.<br />

The system will only import the names that exist on the selected level. The level names can<br />

be viewed under "Edit Levels".<br />

The GVG Encore/SMS 7000 router is different from other manufacturers’ routers in that it<br />

uses only names to identify the following:<br />

• levels<br />

• inputs<br />

• outputs.<br />

The <strong>TSL</strong> TallyMan Controller uses the names that are programmed into the router to deduce<br />

the cross point information. The TallyMan program will allow access to the up-loading of the<br />

router’s names when the Read Names button is pressed in the screen.<br />

In the TallyMan program, in the <strong>Router</strong> Properties box menu item, the video level could<br />

show something like 0:128SDV<br />

The leading part of the names in the UMD Controller must match exactly the names in the<br />

router, including case, punctuation and spacing.<br />

The easiest way to ensure this has happened is to select Read Names and then import them<br />

to the UMD mnemonics. Allow a few moments (10~20 secs) for the update box to appear,<br />

when OK is pressed.<br />

However, if the Encore/SMS 7000 names are, say, only 5 characters long, any default name<br />

in the Edit router source names box e.g. SRCE 1, will not be completely overwritten.<br />

For example, the 1 part of SRCE 1 will remain. This is so user-mnemonics may be added to<br />

the <strong>TSL</strong> router lists as long as the leading names/mnemonics match those from the<br />

SMS7000.<br />

V3.0 Oct 09 3 <strong>Router</strong>s


<strong>Router</strong> Names may be copied across to the UMD mnemonics.<br />

Current software will overwrite the names entirely on a router upload but the user can then<br />

still enter the additional user-mnemonic part.<br />

e.g. CAM1 Bob Bob is the user- entered part of the mnemonic. CAM1 has been uploaded<br />

from the SMS 7000.<br />

This facility will be especially useful for 16 character displays.<br />

<strong>Connection</strong>s<br />

The TallyMan Controller usually connects into the SMS 7000 router via the ASYNC I/F<br />

connector(s), depending on configuration of the SMS 7000.<br />

If more than one connector is fitted, it can configured either be as MAIN/STANDBY or as two<br />

separate control connectors.<br />

There may be one or two serial ports available on the SMS 7000. Either can be used, as long<br />

as the port is set correctly.<br />

The connector supports both RS232 and RS422 standards. The TallyMan Controller is fitted<br />

with an RS422 interface (connected as a Device), and is identified as a socket on the chassis.<br />

The Encore routers use a RJ45 connector.<br />

Check the configuration of the Encore for it to work with the UMD TallyMan Controller. Be<br />

sure to Set GVG Native or NP in the protocol selection box.<br />

The configuration is as follows.<br />

Communication details.<br />

• Baud rate 9600<br />

• Parity NONE<br />

• Stop Bits 1<br />

• Data Bits 8<br />

• Protocol NATIVE<br />

Notes<br />

With GVG Native Protocol, read the router names while online to achieve communications.<br />

Although the Encore does not provide an automatic update of status changes within the<br />

router, it is interrogated for changes that have occurred since the last request. This is done<br />

about 5 times a second, so a UMD display should respond within about ¼second.<br />

If the Comms are good between the Encore and the TallyMan Controller, and TallyMan is<br />

online when the router name database is changed, there should be an automatic update<br />

shown in TallyMan.<br />

TallyMan Programming<br />

General<br />

The Pesa router is different from other manufacturers’ routers in that it uses names and levels<br />

to identify the following:<br />

• levels<br />

• inputs<br />

• outputs.<br />

TallyMan uses the names that are programmed into the router to deduce the cross point<br />

information.<br />

The TallyMan program will allow access to the up-loading of the router’s names when the<br />

Configure <strong>Router</strong> Names button is pressed in main router screen.<br />

In the TallyMan program, in <strong>Router</strong> Properties, the Level could show something like<br />

0:128SDV<br />

The leading part of the names in the Controller must match exactly the names in the router,<br />

including case, punctuation and spacing.<br />

The easiest way to ensure this is to force an Import <strong>Router</strong> Database Names to<br />

Mnemonics. This is achieved via the Read Names button. Allow a few moments (10~20<br />

secs) for the update box to appear, when OK is pressed.<br />

User-mnemonics may be added to the <strong>TSL</strong> router lists as long as the leading<br />

names/mnemonics match those from the Pesa <strong>Router</strong>.<br />

<strong>Router</strong> Names may be copied across to the UMD mnemonics.<br />

5 GVG Thomson/Philips/BTS <strong>Router</strong>s<br />

• The cable details in the boxes refer to the cable connectors.<br />

• The router cable is normally plugged into a Comms Port on the TallyMan Controller.<br />

• In TallyMan be sure to set priority numbers for the active <strong>Router</strong> Buses.<br />

• The Jupiter VM3000 needs to be programmed with a set of CP input and output tables,<br />

for the ASCII interface to the Controller (similar to setting up a control panel).<br />

This will allow which sources and destinations TallyMan looks at by compiling these<br />

tables.<br />

• The ASCII protocol used does not support transfer of mnemonics between the Jupiter and<br />

third party Controllers; this is a limitation imposed by Philips.<br />

<strong>Router</strong>s Using ‘BTS ASCII’ Interface<br />

In order for TallyMan to communicate with the router, the correct type of interface must be<br />

installed and configured inside the router main frame.<br />

• One serial port, on the rear of the BTS control system must be allocated for use with<br />

TallyMan and configured as an ASCII port.<br />

• The Source and Destination tables must be built for this port and the file saved back<br />

to configure the router.<br />

The connector supports both RS232 and RS422 standards.<br />

The serial interconnection cable between the BTS router and the TallyMan Controller should<br />

be wired as shown below.<br />

Communication details.<br />

• Baud Rate: 38K4 with ASCII interface<br />

• Data bits: 8<br />

• Parity: None<br />

• Stop bits: 1<br />

Hardware Installation......... BTS ASCII 2-49<br />

(computer interface protocol)<br />

Software Installation .......… Serial protocol 3-28<br />

MPK devices 3-44<br />

Notes.<br />

During operation, TallyMan initiates a ‘Watch Output’ command, at the rate of 1 bus per<br />

second for each for each bus it is interested in. The router immediately replies with a status<br />

as well as responding to any changes on that bus.<br />

For the ASCII interface within the Jupiter config, you must define sets of inputs, outputs and<br />

levels and associate them with the ASCII configured port.<br />

The index numbers on the left of these sets determine the numbers sent in the ASCII protocol<br />

to TallyMan.<br />

If unsure of level number, then tick the "Multi Level" box in TM and specify e.g. 8 levels. It is,<br />

however normally preferable to operate as single level if you are only interested in one level,<br />

as it removes unnecessary compilations in subsequent programming.<br />

Note that only those levels specified in the CP Level set will appear on the interface.<br />

6 Snell & Wilcox / ProBel <strong>Router</strong>s<br />

• The cable details in the boxes refer to the cable connectors.<br />

• In TallyMan be sure to set priority numbers for the active <strong>Router</strong> Buses.<br />

• Problems with communication are invariably due to incorrect configuring of the ProBel<br />

port.<br />

• Check whether the protocol set in the router is SWP02 or SWP08.<br />

System - General Setup<br />

Set the number of the router video and matrix levels.<br />

• For General Remote Protocol, System 3 (SWP08), Aurora and Freeway, this starts at<br />

00 (zero).<br />

• For General Switcher protocol, System 2 (SWP02), this starts at 01.<br />

Check in the router manual for router matrix number setting. If there is doubt as to the correct<br />

number, start at 0.<br />

A control port on the TallyMan Controller is fitted with an RS422 interface; this is identified as<br />

a D9 socket.<br />

In order for TallyMan to communicate with a router, it is necessary for the correct type of<br />

interface to be installed and configured inside the router main frame.<br />

ProBel routers need to have a Remote (communications) Port assigned and configured to act<br />

as an interface to TallyMan. In order to achieve this, a computer terminal needs to be<br />

connected to the router maintenance interface port and the router configured to the following<br />

specification:<br />

Communication details.<br />

• General Remote Protocol SWP08 / General Switcher Protocol SWP02<br />

• RS422<br />

• 38400 baud<br />

• 8 bit data<br />

• No parity<br />

• One stop bit<br />

Set the Remote Port to be General Remote or General Switcher protocol, as appropriate.<br />

ProBel port RS485/422 should be used.<br />

The serial interconnection cables between the PROBEL router and the UMD TallyMan<br />

controller should be wired as shown below for the particular application.<br />

During operation TallyMan is “listening” for status messages from the ProBel router identifying<br />

the cross-points as they are made.<br />

In addition, TallyMan carries out a background poll of the ProBel router at the rate of 1 bus<br />

per second.<br />

For routers on different levels, an extra <strong>Router</strong> module will need to be inserted into the<br />

TallyMan tree and assigned to the existing one for the communications connections.<br />

Note: In case of no communications with the ProBel frame, please be prepared to try a 1:1<br />

cable or crossed cable, as the case may be. Also, check the matrix level numbers set in<br />

TallyMan.<br />

• The cable details in the boxes refer to the cable connectors.<br />

• The router cable is plugged into a Comms Port on the TallyMan Controller.<br />

• In TallyMan be sure to set priority numbers for the active <strong>Router</strong> Buses.<br />

The Quartz routers, Q1600/Q3200, may not have a suitable serial interface installed and it<br />

must be fitted retrospectively if the routers were ordered without the interface board.<br />

The router serial interface may be configured as RS232 or RS422 by changing the position of<br />

the jumpers on the card. All jumpers must be set the same way. See the following charts for<br />

connection details.<br />

The TallyMan Controller uses the default serial communication settings of the Quartz router.<br />

Use Quartz protocol (Quartz Type 1 or Quartz Native).<br />

Communication details.<br />

• 9600 / 38K4 baud (depends on version)<br />

• 8 bits<br />

• No parity<br />

• 1 stop bit<br />

Note: The Matrix setting in TallyMan has no effect with Quartz <strong>Router</strong>s. If you have difficulty<br />

with finding the correct Level, check the Multi-level box in the TallyMan router dialog page and<br />

enter, say 4, in the Levels box. Then inspect the data in Tools > Tally Mimic to ascertain<br />

which level you want to read.<br />

The protocol is multi-drop, allowing multiple devices to be on the bus. This allows for several<br />

routers to be controlled, or monitored from one serial port.<br />

Addressing on the Sony equipment is by means of a DIP switch. This address is designated<br />

Unit Address 2. Addressing is bit mapped. This allows operations to take place on more than<br />

one router at a time, i.e. Video + Audio etc.<br />

In the TallyMan Controller, the address is set by using the Video Level number and the<br />

addresses generated are as follows:-<br />

This facility precludes an automatic update from the router to the TallyMan Controller. This<br />

normally provides a quick update when a change occurs.<br />

With 16 or less outputs and inputs, the complete status can be requested and this is done<br />

twice a second to keep display update time reasonably short.<br />

<br />

Set the IP address to be in the same group as the TallyMan TMx unit.<br />

The Port in TallyMan must be set to 8004.<br />

Assign a spare SBUS number to the TM system.<br />
