Note: Please check pin functions with connector details published for the routers as
these connections shown might be out of date.
The system will only import the names that exist on the selected level. The level names can
be viewed under "Edit Levels".
The Grass Valley 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 Configure Router Names button is pressed in the main 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 Configure Router Database
Names an 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.
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 up-
loaded from the SMS 7000.
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 by being a socket on the
chassis.
Cable details
Check the configuration of the Encore/SMS 7000 for it to work with the UMD TallyMan
Controller. Be sure to Set SMS7000 Native in the protocol selection box.
Communication details.
Notes
Although the Encore/SMS 7000 does not provide an automatic update of status changes
within the router, it is interrogated for changes that have occurred since the last request. This
is done about 5 times a second, so a UMD display should respond within about ¼second.
If the Comms are good between the Encore/SMS 7000 and the TallyMan Controller, and
TallyMan is online when the 7000 name database is changed, there should be an automatic
update shown in TallyMan.

Cable Requirements
For TM1 and TM2; 2 & 7 and 3 & 8 are twisted pairs.
Communication details.
• Set the Integrator Serial 1 Port on the Logic Module to RS422 by suitably fitting the
links the correct way up.
• Set the baud rate for Serial Port 1 to 9600 - and
• Set RH Serial Port 1 Protocol switches 1 and 2 to Leitch (Auto Detect).
For Leitch router levels 1 and 2 set the TSL levels in TallyMan to Levels 0 and 1 respectively
etc.
The control port on the TallyMan Controller should be fitted with an RS232 interface. This is
identified as a D9 plug mounted on the rear of the TallyMan Controller.
The SERIAL CONTROL connector on the rear of the LEITCH frame is connected to the TSL
TallyMan Controller.
Communication details.
• RS232
• 9600 baud
• 8 bit data
• No parity
• One stop bit
The configuration DIP switches should be set as shown: (See Fig 2-5, P2-6 in the Leitch
Installation & Maintenance Manual).

During operation, TallyMan is “listening” for status messages from the LEITCH router,
identifying the cross-points as they are made.
In addition, the TallyMan carries out a background poll of the LEITCH router at the rate of 1
bus per second.

Hardware Information
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 Configure Router 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.
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 serial interconnection cable between the BTS router and the TallyMan Controller should
be wired as shown below.
The BTS router serial port used by TallyMan needs to be set up as:
Communication details.
Refer to the BTS Control system (Installation & Operation) manuals for details on:
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.
• 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.
Set the Remote Port to be General Remote or General Switcher protocol, as appropriate.
ProBel port RS485/422 should be used.
The serial interconnection cables between the PROBEL router and the UMD TallyMan
controller should be wired as shown below for the particular application.
During operation TallyMan is “listening” for status messages from the ProBel router identifying
the cross-points as they are made.
In addition, TallyMan carries out a background poll of the ProBel router at the rate of 1 bus
per second.
For routers on different levels, an extra Router module will need to be inserted into the
TallyMan tree and assigned to the existing one for the communications connections.
Note: In case of no communications with the ProBel frame, please be prepared to try a 1:1
cable or crossed cable, as the case may be. Also, check the matrix level numbers set in
TallyMan.
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.
The TallyMan Controller uses the default serial communication settings of the Quartz router.
Use Quartz protocol (Quartz Type 1 or Quartz Native).
Communication details.
Note: The Matrix setting in TallyMan has no effect with Quartz Routers. If you have difficulty
with finding the correct Level, check the Multi-level box in the TallyMan router dialog page and
enter, say 4, in the Levels box. Then inspect the data in Tools > Tally Mimic to ascertain
which level you want to read.
MVS/DVS Series
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:-
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.
Please check on the pin functions as shown in the manuals for the correct connectivity.
